This one is a winner. Don't let my 3 star fool you. This strain is terpy and smooth. Muscle relaxation, mood elevation, and it crushed my anxiety/ADHD.
Great hybrid right here. Mentally relaxing but not physically sedating, just enough to make me more creative and talkative. Tastes gassy and earthy with a little hint of tart fruit, sorta like a green apple but with gas on top. Not too far from the typical cookie/gelato strains, but just enough so its unique. If you're looking for a morning/afternoon strain that isn't super sativa heavy, this is a good one to try out.
Apples & Bananas isn’t a cookies strain. This complex cross was first introduced in late 2019 by the rebranded 2nd incarnation of Compound Genetics, after the initial Compound Genetics, founded by Tiger Trees on the business side & Jeff WyEast on the breeding, went defunct after the two parted ways (I’m not one to gossip or talk crap, but basically WyEast discovered that TT was cooking the books & being dishonest about several things, so the initial Compound collapsed, & Jeff founded WyEast Farms, making excellent use of the Jet Fuel Gelato, The Menthol, & other bangers he’d worked with or bred for the original company).
The new Compound Genetics was formed in 2019 a & was granted the rights to use some of the original companies plants. Most crucially the Crane City Cannabis bred Jet Fuel Gelato & the Jeff Wyeast bred Menthol. But none of that has anything to do with Apples & Bananas. One of the earliest & most complex projects by the new Compound, Apples & Bananas is (((Platnium Cookies & Granddaddy Purple) x Blue Power) x Gelatti). A genetic powerhouse, she spread slowly through the cannabis community but by 2023 had achieved saturation, & with the best clone companies still distributing the Compound cut of Apples & Bananas, she found her way into many gardens, of both excellent buyers and growers alike. Compound has produced many complex and killer genetics since its relaunch, including two lines based on Apples & Bananas.
A&B doesn’t have much banana in its terpene profile. It is particularly heavy in Linalool however, which can give some cuts a lavender scent, or combined with other terpenes, produce the scents of some darker fruits. The terpene profile is dominated by Caryophyllene, with high levels of limonene, linalool, & myrcene among others. She has an overall terpene profile that’s dominated by tree fruits, apples, pears, pepper, some skunk, some spice, a bit of citrus & sometimes grape or some darker fruits. She’s a potent smoke that leans slightly indica, but with very even effects that will become more indica the more she’s smoked. Initially she provides a lovely arousal, inspires creativity, & makes you feel happy and giggly. Smoke too much & you’ll risk getting sedated, stoned, & might just pass out. But in smaller amounts, or smoked slowly over time she has beautiful middle of the road effects and excellent medicinal properties that help deal with pain, ADD, depression, anxiety, & inflammation.
The buds are beautiful, with an incredible bag appeal. They are a beautiful mix of purples, reds, pinks, blues, & greens when grown properly, & when dried and cured well, her terpene profile is one of the best of recent years. Already the parent of several excellent crosses, Compound & other breeders have made phenomenal use of her killer genetic makeup.
This strain is amazing. Like if you smoke enough it has me relax and ready to just sink joyfully into my bed. But if you moderate yourself you feel euphoria and curiosity, happy and exited. But still. If you get what I mean haha
Perfect for an “end of day” smoke.
It seems to be a perfect hybrid in my opinion.
Will have you uplifted and feeling good.. not a couch lock at all and then the munchies kick in and after you eat you will get that “if I closed my eyes I could definitely take a nap” feeling but it’s not over powering and you can still go about your day if needed be.
This strain has helped me with my OCD, OCPD and my back pain. It’s a well rounded strain.
Love, LOVE this strain! Definitely creeps up on you. Don’t smoke too much though, you may build a tolerance. If you’re looking for a hot and steamy night with your boo, smoke this first 😮💨🍃
Smoked a joint of A&B a bit ago and it’s quite superb. The taste is outstanding, I was hit with all the tree fruit notes. Smoked real smooth. I do feel happy, uplifted, chill and some focus. Not feeling sleepy and it’s late afternoon.
I’m a total amateur. I smoke one in a while when I get in the mood. This strain was amazing, Huge Euphoria, slight appetite increase , groovy calm strain , no couch lock but you could feel the relaxing waves to the body , no dry eyes at all. definitely worth the price. I’m new to cookies and this has to be a new favorite. THE TASTE is unreal , after taste has that taste of apples and bananas smooth smoke , no roughness at all, smoked it in a joint because I don’t smoke enough to own glass.
