So, since I started my current grow setup, I've been trying to find those "one hit" buds. I've been on the medical program in my state for a couple years and have gotten pretty spoiled on the 25-30% top shelf bud. I've gotten used to taking only one or two small hits to get me to my happy place. Sadly, with all of my current harvests, there was only one plant that really seems to have a decent buzz - and it still takes a good 4 hits to get the party started. That plant is one of the only ones I haven't created a diary for on this site .... the third plant I put in the ground (after my Gorilla Cookies and Wedding Cheesecake) was a Strawberry Banana from FastBuds. I promise I'll get that diary up one of these days ... it actually has some of the best photos I've every taken (not to my credit - the buds were just gorgeous on her). Regardless, I figure it might take a while to get the primo bud - just need to get lucky with a good bean carrying some good genes ... fingers crossed!
I'm growing this strain right now for my first grow! I was a bit disappointed to hear you didn't find this strain very strong the first time you grew it since others have said otherwise. I'm wondering if you aren't letting your flowers go long enough, I know more amber trichomes should make a more powerful high. I'm a noob so take it for what it's worth but just a thought
@Nigs4200, first ... I appreciate you taking the time to write out your thoughts - not everyone does :) I think you actually misunderstood ... out of all the plants I'd grown so far (around 8, I think), the Strawberry Banana was the BEST out of all of them. It's actually the only plant that gives me a noticeable buzz ... it's my favorite at the moment. The strawberry banana also produced the most attractive buds, at least in my opinion ... they were a bit airy - but they puffed out nice like little pine cones. As for the trichomes, the general consensus is that more amber = more sedative ... I like a "speedier" high (better for creative activities, like playing guitar) - but not a paranoid high ... so, I try to go for as much cloudy trichomes as I can (some amber is fine - just don't want much of the glassy trichomes). In either case, I wish you best of luck on your grow - I'm sure you will enjoy this strain :)
