From Barney’s Farm’s Cali Collection emerges a tropical treat: Tropicanna Banana. Just hearing its name teleports your senses to a sandy southern beach, where the allure of a fruity cocktail meets a fragrant spliff.
Touted by Barney’s as a “mesmerizing tropical cocktail of fresh and fruity flavors,” this strain tastes distinctly of bananas.
Tropicanna Banana, a slightly sativa-leaning hybrid (60:40), doesn’t merely captivate with its aroma. It promises high yields – up to 700 grams indoors per sqm – and boasts a generous trichome coating.
The potency is remarkable too, with a THC range of 22-25%. Dive into its lineage, and you’ll find a blend of Tropicanna (a mix of Girl Scout Cookies and Tangie) and Banana Kush.
This combination produces sturdy plants that can reach indoor heights of 110 cm, all within a flowering period of 65-70 days. Growers will appreciate its resilience against mold and pests, and in optimal outdoor conditions, harvests could yield up to two kilograms per plant.
The Doc’s Review: A Growth Journey with Tropicanna Banana
The Doc, a longstanding admirer of Barney’s Farm, tested Tropicanna Banana. Even with its sativa dominance, this strain emanates a calming vibe while acting as an euphoriant – a perfect blend for relaxation.
From seedling to full bloom, Tropicanna Banana exhibited robust growth, branching out early with formidable side shoots.
Three weeks into flowering, they’d doubled in size, showcasing budding flower formations with a resinous glint. Fast forward two weeks, and these buds were immersed in a sea of trichomes, releasing an unparalleled scent of grapefruit, banana, and a unique soapiness.
Come harvest time at day 68, the two plants stood tall at 98 and 105 cm respectively, aligning with Barney’s estimations.
Their dried yield was impressive, with both plants producing a combined weight of 220 grams. The dried buds? They burst with an unmistakable banana aroma, heightened in intensity yet exuding tropical charm.
