Orange peel hits first. Then cherry. Then something darker starts to show up beneath both of them. That’s usually where the conversation around Blockberry begins. Most strains that win awards disappear from the spotlight a few months later. Blockberry THCa strain somehow became more popular after winning. You might know it as Super Boof. You might know it as Blockberry. Either way, you’re looking at the same genetics that Leafly named Strain of the Year in 2024. In an industry that constantly moves on to the next big thing, that’s not something that happens by accident.

Most Strain of the Year winners don’t stay relevant. Cannabis moves fast. Every year brings new genetics, new crosses, and new hype. A strain catches attention, sells out for a few months, and then gets replaced by whatever comes next. Most don’t stick around long enough to become classics. Blockberry took a different path. The strain earned attention because it offered something people kept coming back to. Not because it was the strongest flower available. Not because it posted outrageous lab numbers. People liked it because the experience felt different from most modern hybrids. That’s why customers kept searching for it long after the award announcements ended.

Blockberry Changes As You Spend Time With It

One of the most interesting things about the Blockberry THCa strain is how the profile evolves. The opening feels bright and energetic. The Tropicana Cookies side immediately announces itself with orange peel, citrus zest, and a fresh tropical sweetness that feels almost sunny. Then the second half arrives.

The Black Cherry Punch genetics start bringing darker fruit notes into the mix. Cherry. Berry. A richer sweetness that slowly replaces the sharper citrus character from the opening. Most strains stay in one lane. Blockberry gives you two completely different experiences during the same session. That’s part of what made it stand out from the beginning.

The Tropicana Cookies Side Gets Your Attention

If you’ve spent time with Tropicana Cookies genetics before, you’ll probably recognize them immediately. The citrus notes feel bright and clean rather than candy-sweet. There’s a freshness to the scent that keeps the profile lively from the first smell through the first few pulls. That brightness is what creates the first impression. It’s also why many people assume Blockberry is going to be a completely citrus-forward strain.

The Black Cherry Punch Side Keeps You Around

The longer you spend with Blockberry, the more the Black Cherry Punch genetics start taking control. The citrus remains, but now it’s paired with dark fruit, berry sweetness, and a deeper, richer finish. The transition feels gradual rather than abrupt. That’s what makes the strain memorable. You’re not experiencing one flavor profile. You’re experiencing a conversation between two very different genetic families.

The COA Doesn’t Explain Why People Love This Strain

This batch tested at 23.60% THCa, 25.05% total cannabinoids, and 1.41% CBGA. Those are solid numbers. They are not the reason the Blockberry THCa strain became famous. If potency alone determined success, dozens of other strains would have taken its place by now. Instead, Blockberry built its reputation through flavor, balance, and consistency. The COA confirms you’re looking at quality flower, but it doesn’t fully explain why people keep coming back for it.

Grower’s Notes:

The grower told us Blockberry is one of the easiest strains in the room to harvest too early. The citrus side develops first and can make the flower appear finished before the rest of the profile catches up. The darker cherry and berry notes need additional time to fully develop. This batch stayed in flower longer than appearance alone would suggest. The goal wasn’t bigger yields or higher numbers. The goal was to give both sides of the genetics enough time to show up. That’s a big part of why the contrast between citrus and dark fruit feels so complete in this batch.

Sherlocks Intake Notes:

A few things stood out when this batch arrived:

• The citrus scent was noticeable before the jar was fully opened.
• Cherry notes became much stronger after grinding the flower.
• One of the most colorful flowers in the current living soil lineup.
• Several staff members commented on how different the profile felt compared to typical fruit-forward strains.
• Returned to the shelf after customers repeatedly asked when it would be back.

Why Blockberry Became Our #3 Reviewer’s Pick

Awards are nice. Customer behavior is more interesting. Blockberry didn’t become our #3 Reviewer’s Pick because of a marketing campaign or a magazine article. It got there because customers kept having the same reaction after trying it. They came in expecting a citrus-forward strain and ended up talking about the cherry side just as much. Others came for the flavor and ended up buying it again because the experience felt more balanced than many modern fruit-forward hybrids.

Most strains have one thing people remember. Blockberry tends to have two. Some customers talk about the orange zest and tropical brightness. Others talk about the dark cherry sweetness that starts showing up later in the session. The fact that different people walk away talking about different parts of the same strain is part of what helped it climb into the Reviewer’s Pick rankings.

Being #3 also says something about staying power. New strains arrive every month. Customer favorites change all the time. Blockberry has managed to hold its spot because it delivers what people hoped for when they first heard the hype. That’s harder to do than winning an award.
