Grip Tape is a Bosky Genetics hybrid from Kookieland crossed with Cherry Gushers, bred and selected in house. The name is a nod to founder Ryan Clark's skateboarding.
It is a resin monster: chunky, spiky, lime-green flower in a mottled light-and-dark camo pattern, throwing resin sticky enough to gum up a grinder. It leans functional rather than flattening.
Where It Comes From
Bosky is a recent arrival and Grip Tape has been one of its calling cards on California menus. Ryan Clark is credited as the brand's creator and head cultivator, and the skate reference in the name is his.
Both sides of the cross have traceable stories, which is rarer than it should be. It is also searched and sold as Griptape OG. Bosky's own listings use the two-word name, so treat Griptape OG as a retail alias rather than a different plant.
The Cross
The cross is Kookieland and Cherry Gushers, bred and selected in house at Bosky. Kookieland was developed from Bosky's cut of Archive's Do-Si-Dos and a male of S.D. Cookie Jar's King Candy, itself Forum Cookies crossed with Candyland.
Cherry Gushers came in a different way entirely: a bag seed clone gifted by friends at Billionaire Exoticz. Bag seed clone is the honest description, and it means the fruit-candy half of this cross has no verified pedigree behind it. What you get is a Cookies-and-Do-Si-Dos base meeting a fruit-candy clone of uncertain parentage, and the resin is where the two halves agree.
One California dispensary listing has posted 30 percent THC. That is a tested lot, not the cultivar's number.
What It Left Behind
Grip Tape has no competition record. Its footprint is retail reach — wide placement across California dispensary menus for a brand that is still young. For an operation this new, shelf presence at that scale is the meaningful signal, not award language printed on a package.
The High Rise Take
Grip Tape is Bosky's Kookieland and Cherry Gushers cross — genuinely resinous, easy on function, and named after grip tape because the founder skates. Check the cultivator on the package; Griptape OG on a menu is the same plant.
