DNA Genetics

Our experience with the Strawberry Banana from DNA Genetics has been a bit bittersweet. We germinated about seven seeds, and the truth is that they had quite a hard time getting started. In the end, four plants came out, and from the beginning, we noticed that it was a rather delicate and sensitive genetic throughout the grow. One of the plants barely produced resin and also had quite a bit of foxtailing. Part of that was surely our fault due to the conditions or handling during flowering, because in the end, growing is half experience and half negotiating with a plant. The other plants ended up being acceptable and had a good overall appearance, but together we found it to be a rather demanding variety, sensitive to changes, and somewhat complicated to manage compared to other genetics we've grown. It hasn't been a bad experience, but honestly, we expected a more stable and straightforward grow given the variety's reputation. Still, I'm sure that in more specialized hands or with a more refined environment, it could show much greater potential.

49 / 10/ 69 Out of all the strains that were in the tent this time, Lemon Skunk was the most oily. It left a very rich, greasy terpy oil on the fingers — not super sticky, but definitely noticeable. This is probably the strongest strain out of the whole lineup. Overall, a moderately easy strain to grow. It had a lot of vigor, and despite being in a smaller pot, it wasn’t any smaller than the others. It was a bit fussy at times, but in the end everything turned out really well. The bud structure is exactly how I like it — not super dense, but not loose either, more like a springy sponge or foam. The smell — yeah, this is exactly what I was looking for: strong skunky and limey, just great! It’s the only strain from this run that leaves such a pleasant aftertaste. Seriously, after exhaling, there’s this slightly lemon flavor that lingers in the mouth - super experience! Under no aspect did this plant disappoint. I’ll definitely come back to this strain someday.

Sticky, tasty, couple hitter quitter whoa.

Second batch went 12 weeks. First was 10. This plant was a joy to grow. She ended up with an overall maroon color. Not quite purple and not totally red. The last batch was a real thing of beauty. Nice swollen calyxes and beautiful hairs. She didn't produce big buds but she made a ton of them. Had I not pruned this plant back so hard she'd have took over the tent with all her flowers. I got plenty as it is. Looks like 4+ oz off the plant.

Smell nice and sweet Easy to grow, good result
