Origin 1: Cipher Genetics, founded by Chris Lynch (co-founder of Compound Genetics, so this isn't a rookie operation), crossed Guava Zourz with Blue Lobster as part of their 2024 exotic drop lineup. Blue Lobster alone is doing some heavy lifting on pedigree here, a Maine Trees selection of Compound Genetics' Apples and Bananas x Eye Candy that swept three awards at the 2023 East Coast Zalympix. This version lands as an evenly balanced 50/50 hybrid, and the nose backs up the bloodline: loud, tangy guava and sour citrus up front, with enough gas underneath to remind you exactly whose genetics are in the room.
Origin 2: Somewhere else entirely, Mosca Seeds bred a completely different Deep Ztate, crossing Zkittlez with Deep Breath into an indica-dominant hybrid. Tart tropical candy and heavy fuel replace the guava-forward profile of Origin 1, testing slightly lower at 22 to 27% THC. Same name on the label, different plant, different high, different everything.
Reviewers of the Cipher Genetics cut describe an opening rush of euphoria that settles into a happy, relaxed body calm, tingly and easygoing rather than sedating, suited to daytime creativity or a low-key hang. The buds back up the hype: dense, frosty, deep purple undertones under a heavy coat of resin. This has bag appeal that photographs as well as it smokes.
