Pushin’ Popz is an indica-dominant hybrid from Blue Chip Genetics, the house flower brand of San Jose dispensary Purple Lotus. It crosses LA Pop Rocks with Purple Push Pop, a pairing that runs straight back to Seed Junky Genetics.
Blue Chip sells the strain in 1 g and 7 g flower packs. A Purple Lotus batch listed on Weedmaps tested at 25.37% total THC, a figure Weedmaps rates as high potency.
Blue Chip’s path from Santa Rosa to San Jose
Blue Chip started in 2008, when two UC Davis biochemistry majors began breeding cannabis genetics in Santa Rosa. The brand name and its first commercial runs followed in 2012–2013. The founders describe a year-long hunt across the globe for rare and exotic seeds, driven by a taste for fire phenotypes.
Purple Lotus picked up exclusive rights to Blue Chip in 2013. The flower became a destination product for the shop. At its peak, more than 30% of Purple Lotus customers were buying Blue Chip.
Today Purple Lotus grows the line in-house at 752 Commercial Street, where the dispensary and the cultivation facility share one building. The team leans on pheno-hunting, which means growing out many plants from one set of genetics and keeping only the rare standouts. Pushin’ Popz sits on a roster that also includes Forty One, Blue Runtz, Mango Runtz, Purple Zushi and Face On Fire.
Seed Junky’s LA Pop Rocks × Purple Push Pop cross
The LA Pop Rocks × Purple Push Pop cross is credited to Seed Junky Genetics. Blue Chip grows it under its own name, Pushin’ Popz, while other California growers sell the same cross under its parent names.
Bosky Genetics is one of those growers, and its run of LA Pop Rocks × Purple Push Pop won at both the Zalympix and Transbay qualifiers. Bosky highlights the cross for its color expression and extreme trichome coverage. The buds show a diamond-sparkle finish with flashes of purple.
Pushin’ Popz shares that exact parent pair, so Bosky’s competition results show what the cross can do on the judging table.
Purple Push Pop and the Jealousy F2 backbone
Purple Push Pop supplies the purple half of the cross. Seed Junky built it from (Ice Cream Cake × Sunset Sherb Bx1) × Jealousy F2. That stacks two dessert-family parents on a Jealousy F2 base.
The result is an indica-dominant plant with violet buds and a thick, opaque coat of trichomes. Its reputation leans calm, with a euphoric, creative side that users mention often.
LA Pop Rocks completes the pairing on the other side. Together the two parents give Pushin’ Popz a dessert-family backbone with Jealousy F2 two generations back.
How Pushin’ Popz shows up on the menu
Leafly lists Pushin’ Popz at 75% indica and 25% sativa, with limonene, myrcene and caryophyllene as the lead terpenes. The flavor lands fruity, sweet and creamy, according to the same listing.
Effects run euphoric and calming, with a sedative finish. The Purple Lotus listing on Weedmaps tags it creative, relaxing and uplifting.
Blue Chip operates under California license C11-0000763-LIC. Blue Chip built its name on hunting keepers. Pushin’ Popz fits that playbook: a Seed Junky cross, grown in San Jose and sold under a Blue Chip name.
