Rocktown Sesh 2024 Winner - Best Hybrid

Cosmopolis #4 - Exotic Genetix

At the 2024 Rocktown Sesh, Cosmopolis #4 stood out from a packed field of incredible cultivars — earning first place and cementing its place as one of the most striking phenotypes we’ve ever grown. Bred by Exotic Genetix, Cosmopolis is part of their Gary Poppins line, where Gary Poppins is reversed onto a Cherry Cosmo female resulting in a balanced, candy-gas hybrid with that unmistakable Exotic flair.

Pheno #4 revealed itself early as a standout: compact structure, deep green leaves with violet undertones, and dense, frosted colas that glistened under the tent lights. The scent was intoxicating — a bright cherry 7-Up effervescence layered over subtle tropical candy and a soft, creamy finish. On the palate, that same lively cherry-citrus carried through, clean and refreshing, with just enough sweetness to linger without overpowering.

In the jar, the aroma deepened into something nostalgic and buoyant — the kind of terpene profile that instantly catches attention when the lid comes off. The high mirrored that uplift: smooth, euphoric, and creative, tapering into a calm, steady glow that reflects Exotic Genetix’s signature balance between body and mind.

Winning Rocktown Sesh with Cosmopolis #4 was more than just a recognition of the pheno — it was a moment of validation for the craft itself. This plant represents what careful selection and curiosity can achieve: a living expression of art, chemistry, and joy.

In this open pollination, we worked with two Deep Chunk F14 males from Terpfi3nd Genetics. One expressed a balanced, classic kush profile—smooth, grounded, and steady—while the other carried darker undertones of chocolate and subtle bitterness, adding complexity and bite. Together, they offer a perfect harmony of approachability and depth, setting the tone for a richly layered next generation.
