Super Boof is Black Cherry Punch x Tropicana Cookies, bred by a San Diego hobby grower called Blockhead in 2019. He called it Blockberry and wanted to make a “fruit salad.” A Michigan grower named Mobilejay got hold of it, jokingly renamed it Super Boof (because “boof” was slang for bad weed), and distributed clones across Michigan, Massachusetts, and Oregon starting in 2021.
The irony is that it went on to win competition after competition and became Leafly’s Strain of the Year for 2024. Mobilejay has since admitted he cannot take the name back, and Blockhead reportedly does not love it. Cannabis culture had other plans.
If you’re into fruity strains that actually taste like what they’re named after, Super Boof sits comfortably alongside other citrus and fruit-forward options that have been making noise in dispensaries lately.
The Breeder Story
Blockhead, a San Diego hobby grower operating as Blockhead Buds, created the original cross in 2019 using seeds from InHouse Genetics and Oni Seed Co. No lab, no commercial plan, no backing. Just a laundry room and a goal to make something fruit-forward. He called it Blockberry.
Michigan grower Mobilejay got hold of a phenotype, grew it out, jokingly renamed it Super Boof because “boof” was slang for bad weed, and started distributing clones across Michigan, Massachusetts, and Oregon from 2021 onwards. The name was a punchline.
Then it won 1st place at the High Times Medical Cup, back-to-back Ego Clash titles, and Leafly’s Strain of the Year for 2024. Mobilejay has since said he cannot take the name back. He’s right.
Genetics and Lineage
Unlike low-THC options, Super Boof delivers moderate to strong potency that appeals to experienced users seeking balanced effects. Below is a breakdown of its parents and the characteristics each contributes.
| Parent Strain | Lineage | What It Brings to Super Boof |
| Black Cherry Punch | Purple Punch x Black Cherry Pie | The cherry-forward aroma base, deep green-to-purple visual, and the indica body weight that keeps Super Boof grounded. It runs 80% indica and is the reason the physical ease develops as the experience progresses. |
| Tropicana Cookies | Tangie x Girl Scout Cookies (Harry Palms / Bloom Seed Co) | The orange-citrus brightness, the sativa-driven mental uplift, and the GSC potency ceiling. This is where the Limonene concentration lives, and what makes Super Boof smell like orange zest rather than just cherry. |
The cross works because each parent fills the other’s gap. Tropicana Cookies is great, but it can feel one-note on the aroma. Black Cherry Punch adds sweetness, depth, and body. Put them together, and you get Blockhead’s fruit salad: a better description than most strain names manage.
Flavor, Aroma, and Terpene Profile
Super Boof’s flavor is what keeps people coming back. Most reviewers land on the same description: orange zest up front, cherry on the palate, earthy-skunky finish. That’s the terpenes doing their job.
Myrcene: The Dominant Terpene
Myrcene is the lead compound here, confirmed as Super Boof’s dominant terpene per Leafly’s strain profile. It contributes the earthy, musky undertone beneath the fruit, the grounding quality users describe as a body ease that builds rather than arrives all at once. Peer-reviewed research notes myrcene’s consistent prevalence across cannabis chemotypes and its association with physical effects at higher concentrations.
Limonene: Where the Citrus Comes From
Limonene is the reason Super Boof smells like a fruit stand rather than a standard dispensary. Inherited directly from the Tropicana Cookies parent and its Tangie lineage, it delivers the orange brightness that hits first on the nose. Users consistently associate Limonene-forward profiles with uplifted mood and mental clarity, which aligns with what most Super Boof accounts describe at the outset.
Caryophyllene: The Finish
Caryophyllene is the spicy, black-pepper terpene sitting underneath the fruit. It’s responsible for the earthy-skunky exhale that surprises people who expected pure sweetness. Understanding how terpenes interact with cannabinoids explains why two strains with the same THC number can feel completely different. Caryophyllene adds depth, keeping Super Boof from reading as one-dimensional candy.
What It Looks Like
Dense, deep green buds with purple-to-black accents (more pronounced in cooler grows), bright orange pistils, silver calyxes, and thick amber trichomes. The trichome density gives the bud a wet, resinous appearance, which is a large part of why Super Boof photographs so well and spread across grow threads throughout 2023 and 2024.
Together, these three terpenes explain why Super Boof tastes and smells distinctly different from other cherry-citrus hybrids on the same menu, and why the flavor profile, not just the THC number, drives repeat purchases.
Potency and Tolerance Reference
Super Boof’s THC range is wider than most strain guides acknowledge. The difference between a standard dispensary cut and a competition-grade one is significant enough to treat them as different products.
| Experience level | THC range | Starting dose | Key note |
| First-time / low tolerance | 18–20% standard cuts | 2.5–5mg equiv. | Onset is faster than expected. Wait the full 20 minutes before reassessing. |
| Intermediate | 20–24% | 10–15mg equiv. | Afternoon or evening timing; body component builds as experience progresses. |
| Experienced / high tolerance | 28%+ premium or competition cuts | 15–20mg+ | Concentrate formats at this level are not beginner territory. |
Wherever you land on that table, the rule is the same: start lower than the number makes you want to, and give the onset window its full time before deciding it has not worked.
What Users Consistently Report
Users across Leafly, Weedmaps, and cultivation forums are notably consistent about how Super Boof feels, which is not always the case with hybrids that have multiple phenotypes in circulation.
Onset: Fast. Users describe a nearly immediate euphoric head effect, giggly and mood-lifting rather than intense or anxious. It builds slightly over the first 10–15 minutes, then settles into something most people describe as functional. You are not going to be staring at a wall.
Body: The Black Cherry Punch indica genetics contribute a body ease that grows more noticeable as the session progresses. At moderate doses, users report staying present, physically relaxed, and mentally engaged. Couch-lock comes up very rarely at standard doses.
Duration: Users consistently describe Super Boof as a long-running experience relative to its THC range. The effects sustain rather than peaking and dropping.
Best window: Afternoon to evening. The body component builds over time, making it less appropriate for situations that require full alertness from start to finish.
Common side effects users mention: dry mouth and dry eyes are the most frequently reported, consistent with high-THC flower generally. At competition-grade cuts (28%+), some users note mild dizziness. Keeping water nearby and starting lower than the label suggests handles both.

Super Boof vs Similar Cherry-Citrus Strains
Super Boof sits in a crowded flavor category. If you have seen Black Cherry Runtz or Cherry Pie on the same menu, here is how to tell them apart beyond just picking whichever label sounds coolest. Black Cherry Runtz in particular shares some ancestry through the Runtz lineage’s Zkittlez roots, which explains why the two strains often appear side by side and get confused.
| Factors | Super Boof | Black Cherry Runtz | Cherry Pie |
| Genetics | Black Cherry Punch x Tropicana Cookies | Runtz x Black Cherry Gelato (various breeders) | Granddaddy Purple x Durban Poison |
| Flavor emphasis | Orange-forward citrus over cherry; earthy finish | Candy-sweet cherry with gas; closer to Runtz in character | Earthy cherry with floral notes; least citrus-forward of the three |
| Effect character | Balanced, euphoric onset, body ease without sedation | Indica-heavy; more sedating, longer body window | Indica-leaning; more relaxing than energizing |
| Aroma | Loud and immediately present on opening | Loud, candy-adjacent, and sweeter | Moderate, earthier, and less pungent |
| Best use case | Afternoon to evening; social, creative, or wind-down | Evening; heavier body preference | Evening to nighttime; classic, less complex cherry |
| Breeder credibility | Documented: Blockhead; Leafly Strain of the Year 2024 | Variable: multiple breeders use the name | Well-documented classic heritage |
The short version: Want the citrus to lead? Super Boof. Want heavier sedation and sweeter candy character? Black Cherry Runtz. Want a classic, less demanding cherry experience? Cherry Pie.
Growing Notes
Super Boof has a strong reputation among cultivators: vigorous, yield-friendly, and more forgiving than its competition wins might suggest. ILGM documents it as suitable for intermediate growers with decent upside on yield.
Structure: Grows tall with sativa-adjacent stretch. Regular defoliation and low-stress training are consistently recommended. ScrOG setups are common for indoor grows.
Flowering: 58–68 days under standard indoor conditions.
Color: The purple-to-black bud coloration depends on temperature. Cooler overnight temperatures toward the end of the vegetative stage bring it out. Skip this step, and you get a great strain that just looks greener than the photos.
Odor: Becomes intensely pungent during flower. Carbon filtration is not optional for indoor grows where smell management matters. Multiple cultivators flag this as the thing they underestimated.
Yield reference: Indoor grows land in the 14–24 oz/m² range as a general reference. Plants grown under optimal conditions are reported to yield significantly more per plant. Phenotype and environment produce meaningful variance; treat these as a starting point, not a guarantee.
Final Thoughts
Super Boof is one of those strains where the backstory is as good as the product: a laundry-room hobby project with a self-deprecating name that went on to win more competitions than most professionally backed cultivars ever see. The genetics are documented, the flavor is distinctive, and the effect profile is consistent enough that nearly 6,000 Leafly users have favorited it.
If you’re in the cherry-citrus part of the menu and want something that actually tastes like orange and cherry rather than just smelling vaguely fruity, Super Boof is a well-evidenced choice. Starting lower than the THC number makes you want to, and have water nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions
What strains make Super Boof?
Black Cherry Punch (Purple Punch x Black Cherry Pie) and Tropicana Cookies (Tangie x Girl Scout Cookies). The cherry depth and indica weight come from Black Cherry Punch; the citrus brightness and sativa uplift come from Tropicana Cookies.
Is Super Boof indica or sativa?
Balanced hybrid, typically 50/50 or very slightly indica-dominant. The sativa influence shows in the mental uplift and citrus profile; the indica shows in the body ease that arrives as the session progresses.
What does Super Boof taste like?
Orange zest on the nose and front palate, cherry underneath, and a skunky-earthy finish from the Caryophyllene and Myrcene. Users consistently describe it as more citrus-forward than candy-sweet. Closer to fruit than dessert.
How strong is Super Boof?
Standard dispensary flower runs 18–24% THC. Competition-grade flower and hash products regularly test at 28% and above. Despite the potency ceiling, users frequently describe it as more approachable than the number suggests, attributed in part to the Limonene content keeping the experience from feeling oppressive.
Who created the Super Boof strain?
Blockhead (San Diego) bred the original cross in 2019 and called it Blockberry. Mobilejay (Michigan) selected a phenotype, renamed it Super Boof as a joke, distributed clones starting in 2021, and the rest is cannabis history.
Is Super Boof good for beginners?
At mid-range cuts (18–22%), more so than the competition-grade reputation implies. Dry mouth is the most common complaint. The standard first-use guidance applies: one inhalation, wait 20 minutes, and avoid the highest-THC cuts until you know how you respond.
Why is it called Super Boof?
“Boof” was cannabis slang for bad or low-quality weed. Mobilejay named a clearly excellent strain Super Boof as a joke when distributing clones in 2021. The irony stuck: it went on to win Leafly Strain of the Year 2024, and the name cannot be taken back.
What is the difference between Super Boof and Blockberry?
They are the same strain. Blockberry is the original name given by breeder Blockhead. Super Boof is the phenotype name Mobilejay gave to the cut he selected and distributed. Both names appear on menus and grow threads; if you see Blockberry, you are looking at the same genetics.
