About Gastro Pop
Gastro Pop was created by Compound Genetics, crossing their own Apples and Bananas (Facade) with Gaschata (their Gelato x gas lineage). The buds are dense and chunky with a classic 'exotic' appearance: light green calyxes speckled with purple, covered in a thick coat of translucent trichomes. The aroma is where Gastro Pop truly shines: a perfect blend of sweet green apple and ripe banana from the Apples and Bananas parent, layered with creamy gas, dough, and subtle spice from the Gaschata side. The flavor is rich and complex — sweet fruit and gas in perfect balance. Effects are euphoric and uplifting at first, settling into a warm, relaxed body buzz. Gastro Pop was one of the most anticipated seed releases of 2021 and became a cornerstone of modern exotic breeding.
