FastBuds Banana Purple Punch

~BANANA PURPLE PUNCH by FASTBUDS~ Well, they've done it again... A hard hitting cultivar with a sweet fruity aroma, beautiful coloration expressed in purples, magenta and pink hues that checks off ALL the boxes! I grew two plants and there was a definite difference in the phenotypes, with the #1 growing taller and having wide node spacing. The #1 also had a really funky leaf structure that, at first, I thought might be a nutrient issue but was, I think, a 'genetic hiccup'. Regardless of her appearance I let her finish and was glad I did as she produced the highest yield of the entire run of eleven 'Testers' she was in. Her buds were dense and super sticky, had a beautiful purple color and smelled like a cross between grapes and overripe banana's! 🤪💚 The #2 tester grew a bit shorter, had tighter node spacing and was noticeably bushier than her sister. Her coloration had the same gorgeous purple, pink and magenta hues but they were more subdued. She also expressed more contrasting green in her flowers along with bright orange stigmas covering them. Both plants were super easy to grow and did well being given water ph'd to 6.4-6.6 throughout their growth cycles and responded great to topping and defoliation (on the #2) so I'd recommend this strain for everyone from beginners to expert growers! I waited for the flowers to cure for a few days before trying them out, but went ahead and pressed some that was in jars for two days which was at 64% RH that I like for extractions. The returns on this strain are impressive and the terpene profile carries through perfectly in the rosin.... TASTY! 😍 When I smoked some the first thing I noticed was the incredible fruity, sweet smell that hits you when you break up a flower... WOW! 😉 That delicious fruity aroma carries over beautifully to the palate and on the exhale you can definitely taste a hint of over-ripe bananas coupled with grape with a fuel finish....complex and DELICIOUS! Her effects hit you hard and fast that you feel almost instantaneously in your head that will make you forget what you were doing! The high then becomes more energetic with the effects spreading throughout your entire being! Keep smoking and this lady will plant you like a prize fighter leaving you in a hazy state of bliss! I highly recommend this strain from the experts at FastBuds to everyone from beginners to experts and I only gave the rating I did due to the strange leaf growth on the #1 phenotype. I'll definitely be running this strain again and will revise my rating if my results improve for sure! Way to go FastBuds!!! 💚💚💚 ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ~THE SETUP~ ~Initially seeds were lightly scuffed, then soaked for 3 hours in 78℉ distilled water after which they were transferred to moist paper towels laid out in a Jiffy Pellet plastic starter tray with lid.
