Genetics & Lineage
LA Pop Rocks is most often credited as a cross of Triangle Kush Bx2 and Z Animal.

The result leans dessert without losing its kush footing.
About 818
818 grows exclusively indoors and specializes in loud, candy-forward cultivars, releasing them as fresh AA eighths rather than chasing a sprawling menu.
Flavor & Aroma
The nose is straight out of a candy aisle: sweet, sugary fruit with a citrus sparkle over faint pine. On the exhale it turns slightly tangy and earthy, so the sweetness never gets one-dimensional.
Effects
Expect onset within 5-10 minutes, a peak around 30-45 minutes that pairs an uplifted, lightly creative head with easing shoulders, then a smooth settle across 2-3 hours. Relaxing without dropping you straight into the couch.
Best For
- A sweet-tooth hybrid that still feels like cannabis, not candy
- Creative evenings, playlists, and long dinners
- Golden hour on the grass at Ina Coolbrith Park
- Smokers who love Z-family and Runtz-style flavors
- Unwinding without committing to a full indica
Cultivation
818 raises LA Pop Rocks indoors under tight climate control, trimming by hand to keep the frosty, candy-scented buds intact.
Dosing
Start with a few puffs rather than a full joint; the flavor invites big pulls, but the potency deserves respect.
Storage
Keep it sealed in glass, cool and dark, and the pop-rocks sweetness will hold for weeks.
