Super Boof, Leafly Strain of the Year 2024, continues to dominate the award circuit in 2026. But the strain, also known as Blockberry, is as big and high profile as the breeder is small and underground.
One-man show Blockhead works in cramped, noncommercial conditions in Southern California — yet big things are coming from tiny rooms.
Blockhead’s latest release — sold at blockheadbuds.com — is a line of feminized seeds that are all crosses of his current favorite strain, John Truffolta. The project unites work from GG Strains, Thug Pug, Beleaf, Harry Palms, OGKB, Archive, In House Genetics and Party Time Farms.
What is John Truffolta?
John Truffolta is based on Truffaloha crossed with Blueberry Sugar. Let’s dig into that:
Blueberry Sugar is Grape Cream 2.1 and Blueberry Frosting. The Blueberry Frosting pollen came from Party Time Farms in Santa Cruz. The Grape Cream 2.1 came from Bloom/Harry Palms’ Grape Cream Cake and OGKB 2.1. OGKB 2.1 is listed as OG Kush Breath and Dosidos from In House Genetics. Beleaf’s Truffaloha S1 is Gorilla Butter F2, also known as White Truffle, crossed with his Platinum Punch, which smelled like Hawaiian Punch. Peanut Butter Breath and Gorilla Glue are in there.
Blockhead, who doesn’t publish his real name because he could lose his day job, said the latest drop is all hand-pollinated, small-batch feminized seeds.
He’s obsessed with John Truffolta because “it freaking tastes amazing,” he said.
“It literally smells like Hawaiian Punch or fruit punch and old-school Skunk. It’s super unique. I’ve never smelled terps like that,” Blockhead said. “Obviously, it’s got bag appeal. It’s got the yield. It’s super easy to grow. It’s just a fire strain.”
Moving Beyond The Boof
Similar to how Radiohead made a hard left turn after the album “OK Computer,” Blockhead is setting aside his career-defining Super Boof and going in an entirely new direction.
“It’s the next album, for sure. I’m super small, so I have to pick whatever the heck it is,” he said. “I really love Blueberry Sugar, I really love Blockberry, but here’s the next one.”
He said his feminized seeds are for home growers because personal, noncommercial gardeners don’t like dealing with males, and big commercial growers only want clones. Sales reflect global interest: South Africa, Madagascar, Thailand, Germany, the United Kingdom, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Scotland, Australia and New Zealand.
“It’s pretty much blasting off everywhere,” Blockhead said.
Hot John Truffolta Crosses
Digging into the different crosses, there’s a Blockberry #5 crossed to John Truffolta for $200. It’s an even bigger yielder than Blockberry, with a heavier stone.
But Blockhead is most amped for the Dante’s Sugar x John Truffolta. Both parents are easy to grow and extremely vigorous.
“It tastes like grape Skittles. It’s not the terpiest up front. Some of the other ones are louder. But just in terms of what everybody says that they want — the freaking bag appeal, the yields, the THC, all that stuff — it’s good,” he said.
Look out for some GMO-type terps in the Tiger Bomb cross.
“It’s kind of got a fuel-ly, GMO, garlicky, kind of terp, a little bit on the raunchy side, but it has that top note of Blockberry in it,” he said.
He said these John Truffolta feminized crosses grow well indoors or outside.
Flavor Above Everything
Up next for Blockhead: a flavor-over-everything-else line that sets aside bling, flower or hash yield, THC scores and flowering speed. People constantly ask for the chunkiest, fastest, easiest and highest-THC strain; it’s become tiring.
“It’s whack, bro. I just get the same freaking questions,” he said. “That’s all you care about?”
Blockhead’s new favorite strain after John Truffolta is called Diabeetus.
“It looks insane. But, again, this one is more on the flavor side,” he said. “It’s like a slower grower. Giant-yielding motherfucker, but I’m going to be working that one next, that whole line.”
