The Keeper

Type: hybrid

The Keeper is Wizard Trees' cross of Zoap and RS11, the two cuts the Los Angeles brand is best known for. It sells as feminized seed at roughly nine weeks, and the breeder describes dark, resin-heavy flower carrying what it calls "soapy rainbow" character. Reported experience sits in a balanced lane, bright up top and settled underneath.

Where It Comes From

The name is breeder shorthand made literal. In a phenotype hunt, the keeper is the one plant you hold onto after culling everything else. Wizard Trees took that piece of grower vocabulary and used it as the actual cultivar name for a cross between its own two flagship selections.

That framing only works because of the work that came before it. Both parents were bred by Deo Farms, also written Deep East, in Oakland. Wizard Trees became the LA grower that selected and popularized RS#11 and RS#54, and the one that pushed Zoap into wide circulation.

Crossing Zoap back to RS11 keeps the project inside a family the brand already knows intimately rather than reaching outside it. Wizard Trees' own copy calls The Keeper an "Instant Classic," which is brand language rather than a track record. Read it as intent and judge the plant on its own.

The Cross

Wizard Trees Genetics takes breeder and brand credit. The published cross is Zoap x RS11, sold in six-seed feminized packs with a nine-week indoor flower time and a medium-to-heavy yield rating. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere lands in early October.

That nine-week timeline and the yield rating put the pack in reach of a home room rather than a commercial-only project, which fits how it has been distributed.

Zoap is most commonly published as Rainbow Sherbert x Pink Guava, bred by Deo Farms. RS11 is the eleventh phenotype pulled from the same Rainbow Sherbert line. Both parents come out of the same Pink Guava and Sherbert pool, so The Keeper tightens that family rather than widening it.

"Soapy rainbow" is Wizard Trees' phrase for the Zoap signature: a clean, floral, almost detergent-adjacent brightness sitting over sweet fruit. It names an association, not an ingredient. The breeder points to dark, dense flower and heavy resin as the visual tell.

Because The Keeper moves mainly as seed rather than as one distributed clone, the finished result varies by grower and phenotype more than it would with a clone-only cut. Growers across the Zoap and RS11 families commonly report a bright, talkative opening that settles into calm body weight. No THC figure attaches to a cultivar; batch panels do.

What It Left Behind

What is documented is distribution. The release is stocked by seed banks across the United States and Europe, which reflects the demand Wizard Trees built through Zoap and RS11 more than any record this cross has earned on its own. No competition placement attaches to it, and none needs to.

The High Rise Take

The Keeper is Wizard Trees crossing its own two calling cards: dark, resin-heavy flower out of the Pink Guava and Sherbert pool, sold as feminized seed and judged best by the pack in your hand and the plant you pull from it.
