Super Boof Strain

Super Boof Strain: Leafly's 2024 Strain of the Year, and the Most Unfortunate Name in Cannabis

The Super Boof strain is a Black Cherry Punch × Tropicana Cookies hybrid that went from an unreleased cut with a joke nickname to Leafly's Strain of the Year in about four seasons. It is cherry and citrus over a creamy, faintly gassy base, and the high is famous for being giggly before it is heavy. It also carries a name that means "bad weed" — which is the joke, and which almost nobody explains properly. We grow it, so this page is written by people who have actually smoked it: Super Boof THCA flower is in stock now, and it sits alongside the rest of our THCA flower collection.

Super Boof Strain Genetics & Lineage

Two parents, both from the loud end of the modern dessert-and-citrus family, and the cross does something neither one does alone.

• Ancestry: Black Cherry Punch × Tropicana Cookies. Some databases list the parents in the other order, but the cross is the same.
• Grandparents: Black Cherry Punch is Purple Punch × Black Cherry Pie; Tropicana Cookies is GSC × Tangie. So there is Cookies, citrus and grape-berry all in the same plant.
• Breeder: Blockhead, who released it under the name Blockberry. The Super Boof name came later and from somewhere else entirely.
• Type: Most menus print 50/50. A minority list it around 70/30 indica. The effects sit closer to the 50/50 reading for most people.
• THC: Typically 22%–28%. Retail listings of 28%–32% are common on selected indoor cuts, and a few published profiles put it as low as 18%–24%.
• CBD: Negligible, around 0.1%.
• Also known as: Blockberry, Superboof, Ze Boof, Frosted Boof.

What each half contributes is easy to taste. Black Cherry Punch brings the dark cherry sweetness, the purple flashes in the flower and the relaxed back half. Tropicana Cookies brings the orange-peel brightness, the Cookies structure and the fast, chatty opening. The reason Super Boof reads as balanced despite the indica-leaning labels is that the citrus parent keeps the head engaged for longer than the numbers suggest.

One lineage detail worth being straight about: you will find pages claiming a Colorado origin, a 2021 release date and assorted East Coast attributions. The best-documented account is the Blockhead one, with a Michigan grower selecting and popularising the cut afterwards. Leafly's Super Boof profile, which named it Strain of the Year for 2024, is the most reliable public reference point.

Why Is It Called Super Boof? The Name Problem Nobody Explains

Here is the thing that makes this page necessary: in cannabis slang, "boof" means bad weed. That is not a coincidence or a misunderstanding. It is the joke.

Boof is the opposite of loud, fire and top-shelf. It is the word for flower that is dry, brown, harsh, stemmy, badly cured, or stored so long it has lost its smell. It is what you call the bag that turned out to be a disappointment. Nobody is entirely sure where the word comes from — the most convincing explanation is simple onomatopoeia, a word that sounds as unpleasant as the smoke it describes.

So when a genuinely excellent cut of Blockberry started circulating, people called it Super Boof as a straight-faced joke. Premium flower, worst possible name. The version of the story most often repeated is that smokers said the strain had "boofed" them — hit far harder than its sweet, approachable fruit nose implied. The nickname travelled faster than the real one, and within two years Blockberry had effectively been renamed by its own audience.

The two other things "boof" means, and why it matters at checkout

If you are researching this strain, you are going to run into two adjacent uses of the word that have nothing to do with the plant's quality, and both are worth knowing before you shop.

The first is boof carts: counterfeit or unregulated vape cartridges, usually sold in copied packaging from a real brand, with no verifiable testing behind them. That phrase has nothing to do with this strain. If you see "Super Boof" on a cart in a gas station cooler with no batch number and no lab report, the word "boof" in that context is doing its original job.

The second is the unrelated and considerably more unpleasant sense — "boofing" as rectal administration of a substance. It predates the cannabis usage, it has no connection to the strain, and it is the reason a lot of people hear the name and pull a face. Nothing about Super Boof involves it. The strain name is a quality joke, not a method joke.

The confusion cuts both ways: some shoppers assume the flower is low grade because of the name, and some sellers lean on the ambiguity. Knowing which meaning is in play tells you a lot about who you are buying from.

Is Super Boof Actually Good? An Honest Verdict

Yes, and it earns the hype better than most viral strains do — but not for the reason people usually give.

The potency claim is the weakest part of its reputation. You will see 32% quoted constantly, but most flower sold under this name tests in the low-to-mid twenties — strong, normal and entirely sufficient. Cuts that genuinely sit above 30% are rare, and the figure is unreliable across labs. If you are picking Super Boof because a menu says 32%, you are picking it for the wrong reason.

What actually makes it good is the shape of the high. It opens fast and cheerful, it stays conversational for a long stretch, and it lands softly instead of dropping you. That combination — genuinely potent without being a nap — is rarer than high test numbers, and it is why the strain kept winning after the hype cycle should have moved on.

The honest verdict: a very good all-rounder with an unusually forgiving arc, best in the afternoon or early evening with other people around. It is not a sleep strain, it is not a focus strain in the deep-work sense, and it is not a beginner's first flower at 25% with no CBD. Buy it for the character, not the percentage.

Super Boof Strain Terpene Profile

Myrcene-dominant, with caryophyllene and limonene close behind — an earthy, fruity base carrying peppery spice and a bright citrus top note.

Published panels agree on myrcene leading and disagree on second place: some put caryophyllene ahead of limonene, others flip them, and a few list linalool second. The ordering below is typical rather than universal, and the batch COA in front of you outranks all of it.

On the second-ranked compound, Gertsch and colleagues' paper Beta-caryophyllene is a dietary cannabinoid in PNAS remains the primary reference — it is the terpene that also behaves like a cannabinoid at the CB2 receptor. For the wider profile, this review of the therapeutic potential of cannabis terpenes is a good starting point.

Appearance

Dense, chunky, flat heart-shaped nugs in deep emerald, with purple flashes inherited from the Black Cherry Punch side and thin red-orange pistils threading through. Trichome coverage is heavy and milky rather than glassy, which is part of why the strain has done so well in hash competitions.

The purple is phenotype- and finish-dependent — some cuts come out almost uniformly dark berry, others stay green with colour only at the leaf edges. Both are legitimate. Pale, airy flower under this name is not: this plant stacks tight, and light buds mean it was rushed or badly stored.

Aroma and Flavor

Break a nug and you get cherry first, then citrus, with something creamy and faintly nutty underneath and a light diesel edge that keeps the whole thing from tipping into candy.

The smoke follows the nose closely, which is not always true of fruit-forward hybrids. Inhale is sweet cherry and orange peel; exhale turns creamy with a peppery tail and a trace of fuel. It is a smooth smoke for something this loud — reviewers rarely describe it as harsh, and when they do it usually points to a cure problem rather than the chemotype.

Recreational Effects

Fast and funny at the front, unhurried at the back.

• Giggly: The single most consistently reported effect, and the reason it became a social strain rather than a solo one.
• Euphoric onset: Arrives quickly and brightly, usually within a few minutes.
• Creative and talkative: Good for making things and better for conversation.
• Mentally focused: In the light, engaged sense — not deep-work concentration.
• Comfortable body relaxation: Builds slowly and stops short of couch-lock at moderate doses.
• Hungry: Reliable, as with most of the dessert-and-citrus family.

Reported side effects run dry mouth and dry eyes first, then dizziness, with headache showing up more often than it does for comparable hybrids. Anxiety is possible at the top of the potency range, particularly given there is no CBD to soften the edge. One bowl and a twenty-minute wait is the sensible opening move.

Growing Super Boof

Moderate difficulty, and more forgiving than its reputation suggests — the plant is vigorous, but the density that makes the buds attractive is also the thing that will get you in trouble.

• Flowering: Eight to ten weeks indoors. Outdoor plants finish around mid-October in a warm, Mediterranean-style climate.
• Yield: Roughly 400–500 g/m² indoors on seed-grown plants, with experienced growers reporting considerably more. Outdoor yields per plant run well above that.
• Structure: Medium to tall, commonly 100–180 cm, with enough stretch that topping early is worth the effort.
• Difficulty: Medium. It is not a first grow, but it is not temperamental either.
• The critical detail: these buds stack dense and hold moisture. Keep humidity down through the last three weeks and keep air moving through the canopy, or you will lose the best colas to rot in the final stretch.
• Sourcing: the elite cut is clone-propagated. Feminized seeds sold under the name are reproductions and will throw a range of phenotypes — some closer to the cherry side, some closer to the citrus side.

The hash reputation is not marketing. Super Boof has taken ice-water hash awards repeatedly, which tells you something specific: the trichome heads are large, plentiful and release cleanly. If you are growing for extraction, that is the reason to pick it.

Medicinal Benefits

These are uses consumers and patients commonly report, not established clinical outcomes.

• Stress: The most frequently cited use, and the one the effect profile supports best — the opening lift arrives fast and the body settle follows without sedation.
• Anxiety: Widely reported, with the usual caveat: at the top of the potency range and with no CBD present, high doses can push the other way.
• Low mood: Commonly reported, tied to the reliable euphoric onset rather than anything sedating.
• Mild pain and muscle tension: The myrcene-forward body relaxation takes the edge off without shutting the day down.
• Low appetite: Consistent and fairly strong, as with most Cookies-descended hybrids.

What it is less suited to: anything requiring deep sedation. It is a poor first choice for insomnia — the head stays engaged long after most people wanted it to stop.

Buying Super Boof: What Actually Matters

• Smell for cherry and citrus together. One without the other usually means a phenotype that drifted, or a different plant wearing the name.
• Judge density and colour. Tight, heavy, dark-flecked nugs are the profile. Pale and airy means rushed, dry or old.
• Ignore the 32% headline. Most real batches land in the low-to-mid twenties. A listing that leads with a potency number and does not publish a COA is selling the number, not the flower.
• Read the panel for myrcene first. A myrcene-led profile with caryophyllene and limonene behind it is the strain. A wildly different ordering is worth a question.
• Treat "boof" on a vape cart as a warning, not a brand. Unverified carts in copied packaging are the original meaning of the word, and they have nothing to do with this cultivar.

The shortcut on all of the above: we stock it. Super Boof THCA flower is in stock from $29, grown as small-batch indoor, hand-trimmed, and third-party lab tested with the COA published on the product page. That is the whole pitch — you do not have to guess at the genetics or the numbers, because the batch report is right there. If it sells out, Tropicana Cookies is the parent and the closest thing we have to it on the citrus side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Super Boof a sativa or indica?

Neither, strictly — it is a hybrid, and most menus print it as an even 50/50. A minority of sources give it an indica lean closer to 70/30. In practice the effects read balanced: a fast, giggly, sociable opening from the Tropicana Cookies side, then a comfortable body settle from the Black Cherry Punch side that stops short of couch-lock at a moderate dose.

What strains make Super Boof?

Black Cherry Punch crossed with Tropicana Cookies. Black Cherry Punch is Purple Punch × Black Cherry Pie and supplies the cherry-berry sweetness, the purple flashes and the relaxed back half. Tropicana Cookies is GSC × Tangie and supplies the orange-peel brightness and the quick, chatty head. Some databases list the parents in the reverse order, but it is the same cross.

Why is it called Super Boof?

Because "boof" means bad weed, and the name is a joke. The strain was bred and released as Blockberry by Blockhead. When an exceptional cut started circulating, smokers nicknamed it Super Boof — partly as deadpan irony about premium flower carrying the worst possible name, and partly because people said it had "boofed" them, hitting far harder than its sweet fruit nose suggested. The nickname spread faster than the real name and effectively replaced it.

What is the Super Boof THC percentage?

Most flower sold under this name tests between 22% and 28% THC. Listings of 28%–32% are common on selected indoor cuts, and a few published profiles put it as low as 18%–24%. CBD is negligible, around 0.1%. The honest read: reliably strong without being an outlier, and the 32% figure gets repeated far more often than it gets measured.

What does "boof" mean in weed slang?

Low-quality cannabis — dry, harsh, stemmy, badly cured or long past its best. It is the opposite of loud, fire and top-shelf, and the word is probably just onomatopoeia. It also shows up in "boof carts," meaning counterfeit or untested vape cartridges in copied packaging. There is a separate and unrelated slang sense of "boofing" that refers to rectal administration of a substance; it has nothing to do with this strain, and it is the reason the name raises eyebrows.

Is Super Boof the same as Blockberry?

Yes. Blockberry is the original release name from the breeder, Blockhead; Super Boof is the nickname that overtook it. You will also see Superboof, Ze Boof and Frosted Boof used for the same genetics. If a menu lists both Blockberry and Super Boof as separate items, they are either different phenotypes of the same cross or the menu has not caught up.

What does Super Boof taste like?

Cherry and dark berry first, orange peel second, with a creamy, faintly nutty middle and a light diesel edge on the exhale. It is one of the rare fruit-forward hybrids where the smoke actually matches the jar. Most people find it smooth for something this loud — genuine harshness usually points to a cure problem rather than the strain.

Is Super Boof good for beginners?

Not as a first flower. It commonly tests above 22% with effectively no CBD, and the onset is fast enough that there is little room to calibrate on the way in. The arc is forgiving compared with heavy indicas — it lands softly rather than flattening you — but if you try it early, take one bowl and wait twenty minutes before going back in.

Is Super Boof good for sleep?

It is not the strain for it. The body relaxation is real but gentle, and the head stays engaged longer than most people want at bedtime. Higher doses do bring drowsiness as the myrcene-heavy side takes over, but you are overshooting to get there. Use it in the afternoon or early evening and pick something heavier for the last hour of the night.

How long does Super Boof take to flower?

Eight to ten weeks indoors, with outdoor plants finishing around mid-October in a warm climate. Expect roughly 400–500 g/m² indoors from seed and a medium-to-tall plant at 100–180 cm that benefits from early topping. It is rated medium difficulty. The one thing to watch is humidity in the final three weeks — the buds stack dense and will trap moisture if the air is not moving.
