Strain
What a nice journey! That plant was very easy to work with, she enjoyed being mainlined and had some good tolerance to both LST & HST.
She gave me 94g of dry buds, which is a little less than what I was expecting, but considering she had only 4 main stems, thatβs a reasonable score.
Buds are awesome, some top colas are gigantic and all of the buds even the lowest ones, are solid as a rock. Perfect bud structure and bud density.
Effects are heavy, I have a big THC tolerance, but that strain surprised me with a powerful cerebral buzz. Iβm gonna send a sample to the lab, I think Iβm close to the 25% of THC announced by the breeder, which is almost too strong for me. At first toke, it will hit you in the chest, eyes become immediately sticky and after a few minutes the high is crazy. Not a wake-and-bake strain, for sure! Mixed with coffee in the early morning, heartbeat can accelerate too much. I would say itβs the perfect strain to watch a movie or enjoy some couch activities, but donβt plan moving your body after a few hits of FatBanana π
Terpenes are tropical, you can feel the kush side as well as some exotic fruits and some slight banana notes at exhale, a delicious pleasure for your puck.
Its flowering time is a good argument to choose FatBanana, 7 weeks for top shelf flowers, I found it impressive and I really like when the announced flowering time does match reality. All of my RQS grows have shown that RQS are very good at strain stability and accurate timelines. The only downside I can note is that she started to create a few bananas (I know, quite ironic) in her last week of flowering, whereas the other strain in the room had no issue at all. I think it can't be a stress because she had the perfect environment but I'm not going to blame the genetics for this, I like to think that nature always finds a way to reproduce. I've spotted the pollen sacs and removed these before they open anyway, no seeds were found in the buds.
If you're ready for a strong strain that will hit you hard, with about 25% of THC, go ahead, FatBanana is a reliable candidate for your growroom!
