Swoon is a balanced hybrid cannabis cultivar developed through a collaboration between Cresco Labs and Purple City Genetics. Bred from a complex three-way cross of F1 Durb, Gushers, and Street Guru, Swoon brings together dessert-forward terpenes and pungent fuel genetics. It is recognized in legal markets for its sweet, gassy aromatic profile, dense floral architecture, and well-rounded hybrid effects that balance mental uplift with physical calm.

Appearance
Swoon produces dense, compact inflorescences with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The flower features deep olive to forest green bracts often interspersed with purple hues inherited from its Gushers and Street Guru lineage. A thick, frosty blanket of glandular trichomes covers the exterior, contrasted by vibrant copper and amber pistils curling tightly throughout the calyx clusters.
Aroma & Flavor
The olfactory profile of Swoon combines rich confectionery sweetness with sharp petroleum fuel. On the nose, it offers notes of warm sugar, doughy sweetness, and pungent gasoline, layered with floral accents and zesty citrus. When combusted or vaporized, the flavor delivers a blend of sugary candy, creamy citrus undertones, and lingering earthy fuel on the exhale.
Terpene Profile
Analytical lab testing indicates that Swoon is dominated by Limonene, Beta-Caryophyllene, and Myrcene. Secondary and minor terpenes identified in primary analytical test batches include Humulene, Linalool, Alpha-Pinene, Beta-Pinene, Bisabolol, Nerolidol, and Caryophyllene Oxide. In detailed batch certificates of analysis, total terpene content has tested above 2.0%, with Limonene consistently serving as the primary aromatic driver.
Potency & Cannabinoids
Swoon is a high-potency cultivar with cannabinoid profiles consisting predominantly of THCA with minor levels of delta-9 THC and trace CBG. Tested commercial batches produced under Cresco and High Supply labels regularly demonstrate delta-9 THC equivalent levels between 19.85% and 27.99% THC, with total active cannabinoid (TAC) measurements ranging from approximately 23.6% to over 30%. CBD levels remain minimal or below standard reporting thresholds across commercial certificates of analysis.
Effects
Consumer experiences are subjective and vary depending on tolerance, dose, and individual metabolism.
Mental Effects
Consumers report an initial wave of cerebral euphoria and mood elevation. The mental state is characterized by relaxed contemplation and mild stress reduction without rapid racing thoughts.
Body Effects
As the onset develops, the physical sensation transitions into a noticeable wave of heaviness throughout the limbs and torso. The body high provides deep physical ease and calming tension relief, making it suitable for evening or late-afternoon consumption.
Scientific & Botanical Overview
Botanically, Swoon combines modern polyhybrid cultivars originating from the Cookies and OG Kush genetic pools. Its ancestry integrates the terpene pathways of F1 Durb (noted for high monoterpene and sesquiterpene output) with the resin-dense traits of Gushers (Triangle Kush × Gelato #41) and Street Guru (Gush Mintz × Oooze). This combination yields high capitate-stalked glandular trichome density with robust chemical synthesis of alkylresorcinols and volatile monoterpenes.
Lineage & Related Strains
- F1 Durb: An influential foundational parent in modern dessert genetics, contributing sharp fuel, citrus, and vigor.
- Gushers: A cross of Triangle Kush and Gelato #41, passing down candied berry sweetness and dense flower morphology.
- Street Guru: A potent cross of Gush Mintz and Oooze, supplying deep gassy notes and heavy trichome production.
- Related / Disambiguation Cultivars: Swoon should not be confused with Swooner, a distinct cultivar developed independently by Cannarado Genetics.
Sources & Data Notes
Data for Swoon is compiled from primary product test documentation, dispensary laboratory certificates of analysis, and cultivar releases by Cresco Labs and Purple City Genetics. Specific agronomic traits such as exact outdoor harvest dates and indoor flowering day intervals have not been published by the breeders and are excluded to avoid speculation.
Swoon Summary
Swoon is a three-way modern hybrid bred by Cresco Labs and Purple City Genetics from F1 Durb, Gushers, and Street Guru. Dominant in limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene, it features a warm, sugary, and gassy flavor profile backed by THC levels typically testing between 19.85% and 27.99%.
