Zoap Strain: Lineage, Flavour and Effects

Zoap Strain: Lineage, Flavour and Effects
A note from Steven De Guzman

Zoap earns its name: Leafly calls the flavour sweet, floral and soapy, while AllBud leans toward cherry and sour citrus. Opinions split, with one reviewer comparing it to fabric softener, so try it from clean glass where the fruit gets a fair hearing.

What Zoap is

Leafly lists Zoap as an evenly balanced hybrid bred by Deo Farms of Oakland from Rainbow Sherbet and Pink Guava, and AllBud calls it a 50/50 hybrid of Pink Guava #16 and Rainbow Sherbet. Weedmaps credits Deep East of DEO Farms with breeding and selecting it and Wizard Trees with growing it, and says the Pink Guava x Rainbow Sherbet listing is shorthand for a longer run of selections within DEO's RS project.

Leafly spells out that history. The line started with OZ Kush seeds from Dying Breed; 2 of Deo's OZ Kush selections became Pink Guava, which Deo crossed with Sunset Sherbert to start the RS (Rainbow Sherbert) line. Wizard Trees selected RS#11 and RS#54, and Deo bred RS#16 back to RS to make Zoap. Leafly lists Blue Zoap among its offspring, and Weedmaps notes that Barney's Farm sells a separate feminized seed version.

Look, smell and taste

Weedmaps describes dense green buds with dark purple patches, orange pistils and a thick trichome coat, and AllBud describes dense, rounded dark olive buds with purple undertones. On the nose, Weedmaps lists sweet fruit and floral perfume, then the soapy note and a gassy bite that shows more once the flower is ground.

Leafly describes a sweet, floral, soapy flavour with earthy undertones, while its reviewers pick apricot, chemical and apple as the top flavours. AllBud leans fruitier, with sweet and sour citrus and a lightly earthy cherry exhale. Leafly's lab data lists caryophyllene, limonene and humulene as the main terpenes; the cannabis terpenes guide covers what each one adds.

Effects people report

Leafly reviewers (158 ratings) most often report feeling relaxed, giggly and hungry, and Leafly describes a quick onset with waves of euphoria while rating the strain as mostly calming overall. AllBud describes effects that arrive almost as soon as you exhale, with a giggly, chatty euphoria and a relaxing body high that leaves people slightly couch-locked but not sedated. Weedmaps says regulars describe a quick mood lift, easy laughter and the munchies, though some batches lean heavier.

The negatives Leafly users mention most are dry mouth, dizziness and dry eyes. Start low, and follow Health Canada's lower-risk guidelines, which say not to drive for at least 6 hours after using cannabis.

How strong is Zoap?

Leafly lists 21% THC with 1% CBG, AllBud 25 to 26%, and Weedmaps a range of 20 to 29%. THC varies by grower and batch, so check the label on the product you buy.
