Gushers, aka TK41

"Gushers"

What you may expect when you try Gushers

You may feel:

Euphoric 

Relaxed

Happy

Gushers, also called TK41, is a cannabis cultivar with a unique flavor profile that balances fruity notes with hints of cookies and sweetness. Its euphoria can make an evening on the couch seem like the most appealing adventure possible, but not in a way that recalls couch lock. Instead, you may feel blissful and relaxed, reaching heights of happiness beyond your everyday vacation.

Remember: No experience is entirely guaranteed when choosing a cultivar. You may discover that Gushers affects you unlike how others speak about it, and that’s completely OK.

Is Gushers a good strain for experienced cannabis lovers?

Yes, Gushers is a good strain for experienced travelers who have built up a tolerance or understand how potent cannabis products affect them. Gushers products with THC content on the high end of this cultivar’s range of possible values may lead to a journey you feel in every sense of the word.

Since the Gushers experience initially starts in the head before spreading through the entire body, it may feel overwhelming for newer travelers. However, it’s not off the table for the less experienced among us. If you give the Gushers strain a try, just follow the classic advice to start low and go slow: Try a small amount and give it enough time to see how you feel before consuming any more. For flower and vapes, that’s 15 minutes. For edibles, that can be up to two hours.

Why is the Gushers strain flower also called TK41?

Gushers is also called TK41 for many reasons including this cultivar’s genetics. The “TK” comes from one of its parent cultivars, Triangle Kush. The “41” comes from its other parent cultivar, Gelato #41.

Another reason relates to a phenomenon that’s been unfolding in the cannabis industry for many years. Geneticists, cultivators, and cannabis breeders have named cannabis strains after patented, trademarked, and otherwise already-taken names for decades. Two prominent examples are the cultivar formerly known as Gorilla Glue #4 being dubbed GG4, and Girl Scout Cookies being dubbed GSC, after a series of lawsuits.

Trademarked names for cannabis cultivars often arise from the cultivar’s flavors and aromas. The Gushers strain was named for its fruity smell and resinous, sticky buds, which recall the titular candy. However, for legal reasons, some cannabis experts may refer to this cultivar as TK41.

Gushers essentials: What you need to know before you try this strain

Which strains are in the lineage of Gushers cannabis flower?

Gushers’ genetic lineage is a cross of Gelato #41 and Triangle Kush. Gelato #41 is celebrated for its floral, peppery aroma and immersive body high, the latter of which is a hallmark of Gushers. Triangle Kush, created in Florida, is associated with creative, social effects. Its relaxing side emerges in the sense of euphoria you may experience with Gushers.

What is the cannabinoid content of Gushers cannabis flower?

The cannabinoids found in Gushers cannabis flower are tetrahydracannabidiol (THC) and cannabigerol (CBG), which is different from cannabidiol (CBD). The weight by volume of THC in Gushers cannabis flower ranges from 15% to 25%. On the low end of this range, Gushers isn’t especially potent, but on the high end of this range, only experienced travelers should board the flight. There’s no presence of CBD in Gushers flower, and the CBG content is about 1%.

What terpenes are in Gushers cannabis flower?

The three dominant terpenes in Gushers flower are caryophyllene, limonene, and pinene. Caryophyllene is commonly said to evoke the aroma of black pepper and may impart relaxing effects and anti-inflammatory properties. Limonene, as its name suggests, delivers lemon and citrus aromas alongside potentially energizing effects. Pinene, which is the most abundant terpene in nature, is woodsy, sweet, and a bit spicy, potentially adding an energizing aspect to the cannabis experience.

Gushers strain shopping tips

Check that your dispensary is licensed: As you walk into any licensed dispensary in New York, you should see a QR code on or near the door. Scan this code, known as the NYS Dispensary Verification Code, to confirm that the dispensary is state-licensed. Doing so is of the utmost importance. Only licensed dispensaries are guaranteed to adhere to state regulations that enforce lab testing and quality standards.

Look for lab tests: Legal products link to lab test results, also called COAs, verifying that they pass New York’s testing standards for product quality and consumer safety.

Read reviews: No two people experience cannabis in quite the same way, so getting to know a wealth of perspectives can help you make smarter buying decisions.

Ask for help: You never have to fly alone. All Travel Agency dispensaries are staffed with helpful, knowledgeable budtenders who love helping travelers choose the right path forward. They may recommend the Gushers strain to you based on what you tell them, but if not, there are hundreds of other cultivars to try. At The Travel agency, infinite adventures await.
