Good smoke. I was expecting a terp profile closer to Strawberry Banana OG, which is more like a creamy milkshake, however this one is brilliant in the entirely opposite direction. It has an acrid strawberry, chemmy, sort of like Arjan's Strawberry Haze, tapering into a deeper stone with a slight banana on the exhale. Good genetics. Despite having a taste that just in a short initial burst reminds me of Strawberry Haze, the high tapers into a head and body stone (perhaps 60% body, or just about), rather than a cerebral high. This was a good grow. I did not expect her to get this big, though the end result was fine. I should have trained her early however as she got to around 80cm tall (from the top of the soil) in a 3 Litre pot. Impressive if not unexpected!

Amazing product that has allowed my plants to thrive in high heat. I'm genuinely impressed and won't ever not use this in a grow.

Great nutrients and with each stage there have been noticeable positive differences. I skipped a week here and there due to the short flowering time, yet she loved it all the way through.

Yumbolt x Banana grew like a heavy indica, very short in stature and incredibly bushy. She needed a proper defoliation, however me easing myself back into growing made me think to let her bush out a little with a light defoliation - this, I am convinced, lowered the yield potential. Lesson learnt to go with my gut next time. Very nice strain, however very prone to foxtailing. Out of all four, she perhaps foxtailed the worst, however the end result is still rather nice. There is a sweet hazy banana taste on the inhale, with a spicy banana/fruit taste on the exhale. It's rather relaxing, however not sleepy. I think the best way I can describe it, is rather than relaxed it makes me 'calm'. Anxiety is removed almost immediately, and negative thoughts find incredible difficulty in even approaching my mindstate. It's a great smoke, both tasty and perfect for a weekend or winding down in the evening. She grew VERY short though, with an absolutely minimal stretch. This is something that should be taken into account when growing, as I had to place something under the pot just to raise her a bit.

Amazing lights, best I've used. I'm thoroughly impressed in ways I cannot express in a short review. Just a brilliant light overall.

Great strain, and the high is nice like Cheese. The only gripe I have is the terpenes, they are cheesy however it feels watered down compared to the Cheese I remember. By description it's stated that Exodus was used, however I have great doubts that the Original UK Exodus Cut was used, and instead it tastes and smells more like Sensi Seeds version of Skunk #1 (which is nothing like the proper Skunk that has been used for breeding). I do like the strain itself though. There's an incredibly similar high to the Cheese from back in the day, and overall it's not bad at all. The resin content matched what I expected, and during the grow just a light brush of my arm against a nug made my arm glisten with sticky resin. If you like Cheese you can't go wrong with this, however if you want more of a pungent 'cheesiness' I'd look elsewhere. They could definitely work on the pungent aroma a bit more.

So I bought King's Kush CBD, via Attitude, and I am almost convinced this is not what I received. The strain grew like a heavy sativa, which was evident throughout this diary, which was the first indicator. The end result is a lot like a very old school Sativa; very hairy, yet incredibly sticky and resinous. Not to mention I highly doubt the CBD is as high as it states, as well as the THC content being as low as they state (up to 10% on both). The high is incredibly cerebral, and strong. Very potent and reminds me a lot of the old sativas from 10-15+ years ago in the high itself. This is nice, and I do seem to not mind it, however I would not buy anything from GreenHouse Seeds again. This was a nice strain that grew incredibly well, however it is NOT what was advertised and I doubt this could be even called a phenotype: it's an entirely different strain by the looks of it. After buying KIng's Kush seeds many years ago and having none out of 4 germinate, I'm not ready to take a third strike.

This is the second time I'm growing Crystal Gelato, and she has grown similar to how I remember (though better due to this setup). She handled topping very well, and the buds hardened up quite well. The branches stretched out yet remained very strong. The overall strength and stiffness of the stalks are very evident, and made me really not worry at all. I never weigh wet, however dry she gave me at least 3 ounces (since I was picking at them whilst trimming), so 84g.

The growth went well from start to finish. She showed great vigor as even a seedling. Right through to the end the growth was very stable, and strong.
