Paradiso is an indica-dominant hybrid from Maven Genetics, the indoor cultivator rooted in the San Fernando Valley. The cross pairs Purple Push Pop with Cap Junky, and the breeding credit goes to Seed Junky and Capulator, two breeders whose names carry weight across California.
The standout detail is that pedigree. Maven grows and releases the flower, but the plant came out of a collaboration between breeders whose cuts already carried serious weight before Paradiso existed.
Seed Junky and Capulator behind the cross
Leafly describes Paradiso as bred by Seed Junky and Capulator for Maven Genetics. Maven's own product listings repeat the same credit, naming Purple Push Pop and Cap Junky as the two parents. That makes Paradiso a three-party release: two breeders on the genetics and one cultivator taking it to shelves.
Seed Junky Genetics appears on both sides of the family tree. It bred Purple Push Pop outright, and it co-created Cap Junky with Capulator. Paradiso effectively folds two Seed Junky projects into one plant, with Capulator's hand on half of the ancestry.
Purple Push Pop and Cap Junky as parents
Purple Push Pop is a Seed Junky indica-dominant cross of Ice Cream Cake and Sunset Sherb Bx1, backcrossed to Jealousy F2. Leafly notes its violet coloring and dense trichome coverage, two traits that show up again in Paradiso's flower.
Cap Junky comes from Alien Cookies and Kush Mints #11. Leafly lists it as a collaborative project between Capulator and Seed Junky, built for maximum THC and heavy resin. The cut carried a price to match its reputation: Seed Junky sold Cap Junky clones for $1,000 each in 2021.
Put together, Paradiso sits on a Cookies, Kush Mints, Ice Cream Cake and Jealousy base. Those four lines meet in just two direct parents, and Seed Junky handled breeding on both of them.
Dense purple flower and a 36% pre-roll
Maven describes Paradiso as dense, sticky, multicolored flower with purple undertones. Leafly's entry lines up, showing purple and green buds. The flavor runs from sweet and sour pomegranate into earthy petrol and black pepper. Maven pitches the effects as quick euphoria settling into relaxation.
Paradiso reaches the market in eighths and 1g pre-rolls. On Weedmaps, Maven lists the Paradiso pre-roll at 36% THC. Maven states that every pre-roll it makes is filled only with indoor flower, never trim, shake or production leftovers.
Halos, Paradiso Tropical and a second generation
Paradiso also anchors one of Maven's Halos releases. Halos are rosin-infused pre-rolls holding 1.5 grams of strain-specific flower and 0.4 grams of solventless live rosin. Paradiso Tropical pairs Paradiso flower with Maven's Honey Lemon Hibiscus live rosin, a combination the brand frames around island-style citrus and fruit.
Maven has also taken Paradiso back into its breeding room. The Maven strain library lists Shangri-La as a hybrid of Opal and Paradiso #11, a numbered keeper from the Paradiso population. Opal itself is a limited Maven cross of Blue Agape and Carbon Candy.
That move turns Paradiso from a collaboration into parent stock. Seed Junky and Capulator built the genetics, Maven grew and released it, and then Maven selected a single phenotype to push its own catalog forward. The Paradiso name now runs through flower, pre-rolls, infused Halos and at least one descendant.
