Gas Face OG is a hybrid bred by Seed Junky Genetics and sold in California by Studio City producer 818 Brands. It crosses Face Mints with a Biscotti and Sherbet backcross, pairing a minty OG line with a dessert-leaning one.
The cross has competition credentials. Entered by Sense, Gas Face took 2nd place for indoor flower at the 2023 Emerald Cup. In a Cannabis Now feature on the 818 Brands flower, a tested batch came in at 28.5% THC.
From Face Mints to a Biscotti and Sherbet backcross
Face Mints brings the OG side of the family. Cresco Labs bred it by combining Face Off OG with Kush Mints. Leafly lists it as a hybrid around 20% THC, led by myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene.
Leafly describes chunky green buds laced with orange hairs and amber trichomes. That OG and Kush Mints backbone carries into the structure of Gas Face OG.
The other half joins Biscotti with Sherbet. Leafly and Seedfinder both record that side as a Biscotti and Sherbet backcross. Seed Junky crossed it with Face Mints and released the result as Gas Face.
A Southern California garage breeder
Seed Junky Genetics started in a Southern California garage in the early 2000s, run by the breeder known as JBeezy. RevCanna lists Wedding Cake, Kush Mints, Ice Cream Cake, The Soap and Jealousy among its signature strains.
Its newer hit, Permanent Marker, was named Leafly's Strain of the Year for 2023. Seed Junky has also worked with Revolution Cannabis on crosses such as Georgia Pie, Cake Crasher, Jungle Cake and Kush Mintz 3.
Gas Face fits the house pattern of stacking established cultivars into new crosses. Seedfinder lists it as an indica-dominant hybrid sold as feminized seeds only, with a flowering time of about 65 days. Seedfinder puts THC around 25%, with some batches reaching 33%.
2nd place at the 2023 Emerald Cup
The 2023 Emerald Cup awards were held on May 13, 2023, at the Craneway Pavilion in Richmond, California. Forbes noted that indoor flower drew almost twice as many entries as sun-grown flower that year.
In that crowded field, Gas Face from Sense finished 2nd for indoor flower. Fig Farms took 1st with Blue Face, and Cannabiotix placed 3rd with French Alps. Forbes also named Gas Face among the indoor top 10 alongside French Laundry from Maven Genetics.
818 Brands and its Studio City menu
818 Brands is based in Studio City, where its flagship store, The Weed, sits on Ventura Boulevard. The company runs several lines, including 818 Enjoy, California Exotics, Cream, Brown Bag Genetics and the DIBS live resin line.
Cannabis Now covered the 818 Brands Gas Face OG in November 2022. The review describes sticky, tight, light green nugs with a classic OG structure. Tightly clustered trichomes cover the buds, and flecks of purple show through.
That tested batch showed total cannabinoids of 29.38%, with a dash of the minor cannabinoid CBGA. Its leading terpenes were limonene, linalool and caryophyllene. Cannabis Now puts the indoor flowering window at 8–9 weeks and pegs the flavor as gassy and bright.
The 818 Brands flower menu on Weedmaps carries Gas Face OG, including a 14g size, next to cultivars such as Oakland Runtz, Kool Whip and Gotti Beltz.
Potency, effects and offspring
Leafly lists Gas Face at 24% THC and 1% CBG, with limonene as its dominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene. It classes the strain as very high in THC. Reviewers there rate it 4.6 out of 5 across 65 reviews and describe relaxed, creative and uplifted effects.
Cannabis Now describes a similar mix: relaxing yet uplifting, with room for reflection, creativity and mental focus. Seedfinder adds that the high opens uplifting and energetic, then settles into body relaxation.
Breeders have already built on it. INSA crossed Zop Zop with Gas Face to make Fog Lights, which Leafly lists at 26% THC. Seedfinder records Gas Face S1 from Lazy Daizy Genetics, Face Funk from Realpotency and Dulce O Truco from Shuga Seeds.
