In Costa Rica and central & south America breeders are working on creating a backup/replacement strain but its not easy since the process to breed these bananas is so time consuming.
Yeah I've seen the plantations in costa, rows and rows of dead rotting banana trees. The kind of pesticides they spray on those trees its no wonder some diesease came and wiped them out. It REALLY sucks to be the guy spraying the pesticide :yoinks:

lou, do the community a favor and share, if what your smoking is better than everyone else's stash...didn't your teacher ever tell you if you don't bring enough for the whole class, don't bring any at all :moon: haha don't hype it up and then not share...thats like going to ethiopia with a bucket of kfc :bat: But in 20 years maybe I'll feel differently about the subject :confused:

I like all weed about the same, why do people get so heated about which ones are their favorites? I mean its like parents trying push their kids in sports to be the best, my kid is better than your kid kinda shit. Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one but no one wants to hear it! (is that right? did I just make that up? lol)

oh, and no disrespect to anyone, lou keep doin' yo thing I dig the growing style and got nothing but love for ya

Hey Lou.... you spoke of phenos?

"Mite resistance is ok also on some pheno's." What Trainwreck are you speaking of? JOJO's from seed?

I though the TW was a clone only type deal...so no phenotypical variation unless you were able to source two different cuts. I didn't know seed was still available. How old would jojo's seed have to be now?

kokua... PRECISEY... I was wondering IF Lou even had the real deal or just Jojo's S1's

Ive been growing the Arcata for about 2 years now... I love it..... Great High, Smell,taste Along with that "sparkly Look".

Ive also Sampled some TW crosses such as TRC's Texas mystic ( TW x Swt#3) also tried their TW x Blue 1.

IMO the Tw crosses didn't come close to comparing to the Trainwreck. Don't get me wrong They were good smokes but it just seems that TW is best left alone. Im not saying that this TW x bannana wouldn't be good, Im just speaking from my experience.

For the Past 2 years the Arcata was my #1 smoke, Untill i broke into the Realm of the OG kush... :sasmokin:

From what I've heard there is at least 2 or 3 different cuts that are being passed around as the 'real deal' TW. And that's not including the S1s that also get passed off as the real deal.

Maybe nspecta can shed some light on the story, as I don't wanna spread any mis info.


Even if there's one real TW it sure doesn't mean everyone will like it.

Personaly I think the AE-77 Cali-O is mediocre at best, and far from elite worthy, btu I have friends who love it to death. Same story with many other 'elites'.

donno where ppl are that they get bad TW and think it is mediocre. TW is pretty damn good imho.

and bunanoo or bwanana or banana, are they all the same clone? I've heard all these names.

Don't forget Tuck's/meduser's version of Trainwreck seeds. I'm growing those now along side the clone-only Arcata cut. There is a difference. Make sure it's the Arcata cut before you knock it. It's only fair.

Your 100% right Mr.Bong, OG beats Bananas everyday in my humble opinion. OG is up there with East Coast Sour Diesel in the unique department, they are both really good. I had some OG Kush from Dante420143's SPC in santa cruz, that bud was bomb.

here's what it looks like:













Live what there is to live and enjoy what there is to enjoy and regard them as facts of life. In my life the basis the now and future is Nam Myoho Renge Kyo!

Like the roar of the Lion (medicated on OG Kush) NAM MYOHO RENGE KYO!

I meant no disrespect Lougrew. The T.W. name confusion always gets me. The Arcata clone has been keep around unchanged for over 20 years for a very good reason. It is a unique pheno. Just like that Seinfeld episode, " It was a one in a million shot Doc. One inna million." ;-)

Alls cool Lou... this is a good place for a steam outlet... I'd love to toke a fatty with yah!

I ran some of Motarebel's OGers Kush S1s and have a similar take as you did with the Trainwreck S1s... yet I'd love to have a shot at the real deal OG Kush... 9 out of 10 satisified tokers are seldom wrong about something... Trainwreck is in the same class.

Can't wait till the storm subsides and your gear is available... ditto what Pike said... your Banana #1 and Pine #5 sounds intriguing.

After all the hubbub and hoopla surround this gnarly strain sheesh I can't wait to try some more!

Thanks for the nice talk Lougrew, I had the feeling you would come around and you know what, that club weed in California can be worth it "if you go to the right places". Next time your planning on heading west, stop by this sites medical marijuana drjaycavanaugh forum its loaded with what you need. I'll go as far to say that simply NorCal (with your OCBC card) is medical (somedaysoon)utopia when you disregard the atrocities in socal! I say we offer a few smokes and heads high to the cause in socal and really just keep growing great shit.

Lou, I still look forward to trying that banana of yours because again, this banana was so good my mouth is seriously watering right now for more. Also to anyone that might have some banana, where did you get it, I would love to source some if not know more history. Awesome convos superstoners! :lurk:

"and bunanoo or bwanana or banana, are they all the same clone? I've heard all these names."- sbaegis


Let me guess, your referring to buds found @ the hortipharm dispensary in Santa Barbara? That Bunanoo, bunanu etc. is Bannana X Goo cross, as told to me by the owner of Hortipharm. Hortipharm actually released cuts of it about 4 months back or so, and I grew two of 'em out. Buds looked much like lou's picture, grew spear like buds covered in a white trichome frost, fiery orange hairs, and an overall pale yellowish appearance. It is a perfect SOG strain, was also very resistent to spider mites and stress, and my first plant (of 8 diff. medical strains) to finish. Cured buds smelled like banana-mango chutney, with an undertone of the same indescribable scent found in Green Crack.

I got some banana going right now, and I can attest to the beautiful smell. I've never smelled anything so fruity before, so I can't really pinpoint the smell. Sorry. I'm so used to skunk that this is a delight. She is putting on some serious weight near the end, almost makes me think she will go over 8 weeks. She just started week 6. Got the cuttings from a reliable friend. Enjoy.
