Description of Zoap. Article below written by Jimi Devine for Hightimes.com
Over the last 2 years, few things have mattered more to elite cannabis than the work of Deep East Oakland (DEO) Farms on it's Rainbow Sherbet (RS) line and it's various famous pheno numbers like RS-11, Studio 54, and the star of the pack, Zoap.
The RS line dates back to 16 packs of OZ Kush seeds DEO bought at the Emerald Cup in the mid 2010's, the last time Dying Breed took part was in 2017. So that's a testament to years of work in Oakland before the RS line took off. DEO found a bunch of killer phenos. Including a prize Z heavy male.
He F2'd the OZ Kush. It was named Pink Guava and had it's own little hype wave in Oakland but nothing compared to it's offspring. DEO would conduct an open pollination with the Pink Guava male on six other strains, among them his favorite Sunset Sherbet phenotype he'd ever come across known as the Black Sherb due to it's darker than average color.
He would then share the seed stock from the OZ Kush x Pink Guava with Wizard Trees. DEO popped 120 of those seeds and found the #7, #16, #18 and #40. Wizard Trees found the #11 and #54 from the additional 100 he popped. We're all still riding on the resulting hype wave but some would argue the Rainbow Sherbet #16 F2 #21, now famously known as Zoap, took things to a whole new level.
While those dessert and Z terps have been on the streets for well over a year, it very much invited only as Zoap's commercial production scaled up to allow it's conquest of 2022 full steam. DEO licensed the cut to Wizard Trees in 2021. Eventually, Zoap won the Zalympix Championships in Los Angeles after placing second in the Zalympix prior. It was arguably the most competitive cannabis contest series ever with as big of a feather as there was to go in any cap in 2022.
One cool thing about the build-up to Zoap's prominence is it gave the DEO team more time to work the line. Zoap ended up serving as the backbone female for the RS F3 line. Much of that was debuted as part of DEO's Black Box drop this past summer.
Regardless of where it goes from here, it's hard to point to anyone that had a bigger impact on the exotic cannabis community over the last 24 months than DEO Farms, and Zoap is the flagship of that impact.
