C- Banana aka Banana Kush
- Thread starter RB26
- Start date
CB is straight up ripe bananas in flower. Dry she takes on more of a banana Bread. This is just my 2nd run with her. I still need to find her G spot.
It does kill my lungs. Spent a few nights unable to stop coughing last week. Obviously I'd much rather smoke bud, but that's not always available. Not sure how much longer I can keep going like that though!
well right off the top, if you're going to whine about thread clogging why not shoot me this in pm? or is there some kinda of double standard/exception for you?
what you're saying is you have no idea/proof/anything solid about the lineage of cb, yet for whatever reason you are reluctant to accept the possibility that a strain that is literally identical in every way as a finished product could in no way be the same cut as something that was gaining momentum/easily available in the area in the same timeline. it's unique enough a flavor that a coincidence(or an s1 for that matter) is pretty unlikely, I'm sure you could agree if you had first hand experience with a verified orgnkid's cut(which you might, unknowingly at least) is there a reason there is a lack of interest in really figuring this out?
I'm not saying/never said you renamed a thing, but someone most definitely did. do you know how your source obtained the genetics? through seed selection or by mother stock? your response leads me to believe you are under the impression of the former- my argument to that point is first off the uniqueness of the strain and it's terps and the low percentage of likeliness to replicate an identical profile even in an s1 form unless there is a ton of seeds being popped or a ridiculous amount of luck involved. more likely imho; is that you recieved something that had been victimized by the los angeles medical name game that was actually a pretty widely available cultivar in that area around that time.
Naming specific phenotypes found in an already named cross is standard practice in this industry, while seed hunting. in this case you are assuming without any grounds that the cut you run is more than likely an s1 of an already established strain, and you may have/may not have taken the personal liberty to rename it for whatever reason you may or may not have. In the case of most OG cuts, you have a bunch of more than likely s1's(plenty of side by sides done, differences noted and known at this point) that have been coined something else, many times by the actual person that popped the seed/found the pheno(Larry Og for instance?). Sure, there is a possibility that there are a few cuts that have a few names, that usually happens when someone breaks their word or other dishonorable happening occur. So, "Who Cares?" A lot of people do actually, being accurate in our endeavors is important, and I would assume a person such as yourself that is building something big in this industry would recognize the importance in being a consummate professional by every definition of the word, especially if one wants to be taken seriously as a horticulturist by their peer's.
HH- ever notice how my glue looks different than yours does as well? I believe it's called phenotypic expression, you know, how a plant expresses different traits depending on a cumulative impact of environmental factors including temps, rh, airflow, light saturation, nutrients, etc. that's really why my emphasis has been about comparing finished products more than anything....the only other way to be accurate is a side by side in the same environment; and if you really want to be a stickler, I'd say it wouldn't be completely accurate until at least a full generation of getting acclimated to a new environment(assuming one or the other was sourced from another garden)

What you said about the grainy fat trich heads is what stood out to me bc that's exactly how my cut of orgnkid banana is. I've had her come out fat and stacked nugs like hammers recent pics and then I've had her come out more spaced golf ball og likr nugs but she's always got that unique banana smell. And my finished nugs look dead on to what's been posted in here
Chiquita banana is org kid banana og spread all around LA area in 07 ish but is older n we know the guy who spread it...
Banana kush is from nor cal much rarer never available to the public that i know of still hoarded tight as fuk... ...I got it first from the Chico area 04ish in no way to be confused with cb or banana og...
Hey frank it may be possible this was called monkey paw depending on whether the cut made its way to mi...
If you remember a guy named jaws aka puma he based his banana line off of it...

Good info, thanks. Chico huh? That's cool.
Jaws recently switched his Banana cut to a different cut. He says the new cut has more of a Banana aroma/flav. Origins of the new cut I have no idea. This info is posted in public.
I dont see much phenotypic expression unless something is way different in your environment. There are def many things that can alter looks. Having said that even if I fuk up a run my glue still looks the same but quality is effected. There are more people that grow glue identical to what mine looks like then not. I just don't see phenotypic expression being a factor after you have it dialed in. There is def differences in what CB looks like in my room and what RB looks like. There not so different that I would think there not the same cut. This is my 2nd run with her.

How do i acquire this cb cut im dying to have her in my stable been dreaming of her since 2014 when i first seen her here on icmag
Yea looks good. Are you using nutes or just the amended soil? Your plants always look very nitrogen rich. Nice work
Working on a couple mono crop rooms of her right now. Been trying to do that for the past 4 years, finally got to it.
I use a soil mix of FFOF, Happyfrog and sunshine #4... I do use Nutrients. I have always kept the EC low. .8-1.2 is the range I use for everything. Most pics look darker then they are from me taking pics with no lights on. My cam uses a green focus assist led light or it wouldn't work. I'm still getting her figured out.
I let it float 6.4 - 6.7... I was using PBP in flower. Have changed to V&B dirty.. I still use PBP in veg.

i just switched from the GHOST BANANA to the 60/40 BANANA, the 60/40 much much more banana grows better easier and it's the only one in my house i will move forward with.
the CB i was going to get a while back from a friend who was friends with RB26 ahh not sure what happened but it never happened so i just moved on..
started the BANANA KUSH at f-7 i'm at what i'd call and ibl and have made maybe tree batches of those..used both GHOST & 60/40 in making those so my banana line will have lot's to look at.
moving forward not so mush because i have cut out the GHOST so things should become more inline with one another, this is something i should have done back when i hit say f-10.
just threw out three well rooted GHOST BANANA cut's because i'm just sick of it..
peace

Would you say you like 60/40 better? Stronger Banana terp.. I'm not familiar with the ghost cut. Did she have a good banana profile? This is def interesting info.
Thanks
