Marijuana Strain Descriptions

Strawberry Banana (Strawnana)
Cannabis Strain Summary
Terpene Profile- Primary
Myrcene (dominant - earthy, musky base notes contributing to physical relaxation); Beta-caryophyllene (moderate - spice and pepper undertones, anti-inflammatory properties); Limonene (moderate - citrus brightness, mood elevation)
Terpene Profile- Secondary
Pinene (pine freshness); Linalool (floral softness); Humulene (earthy, woody notes); Terpinolene; Ocimene; Camphene; Valencene (citrus complexity); Bisabolol (creamy finish); Exact ratios vary by cultivator and growing conditions
The Experience- Common Effects
Deep physical relaxation without complete sedation; Euphoric mood enhancement and stress relief; Increased sensory awareness particularly visual and auditory; Creative thinking and associative mental patterns; Moderate to strong appetite stimulation; Enhanced appreciation for entertainment and social interaction; Eventual drowsiness as effects taper; Lower doses preserve mental clarity while providing body comfort; Higher doses produce pronounced couchlock and sedation
The Experience- Duration
Total duration 3-4 hours from onset to baseline; Residual relaxation can persist 1-2 additional hours; Smooth comedown without significant crash or anxiety rebound; Transitions gradually into restful sleepiness if consumed in evening hours
The Experience- Onset
Slow onset (5-10 minutes); Initial sensory enhancement with vibrant colors and sounds; Cerebral effects arrive first bringing euphoria, mood elevation, creative thinking; Physical relaxation begins spreading 20-30 minutes in with muscle tension dissolution; Gradual unwinding allowing continued activity if desired though resting becomes increasingly appealing; Peak effects last 2-3 hours
The Experience- Potential Side Effects
Dry mouth and dry eyes particularly at higher doses; Dizziness or mild anxiety if consumed too quickly especially for those newer to cannabis; Delayed onset can contribute to overconsumption; Paranoia or racing thoughts possible but uncommon due to indica dominance and calming terpene profile; Strong appetite stimulation; Grogginess following day with heavy or late-night use
Strain Type
Indica-Dominant Hybrid
Not Recommended For
Early morning use; Demanding cognitive tasks requiring alertness; Driving or operating equipment; Tasks requiring precision and physical coordination; High-energy activities; Situations requiring full mental clarity and quick reaction times
Lineage and Origins
Bred by DNA Genetics in collaboration with Serious Seeds through Reserva Privada; Cross of Crockett's Banana Kush (Ghost OG descendant) and Strawberry phenotype of Bubble Gum from Serious Seeds; Developed in Amsterdam; Multiple cannabis cup winner including 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup, 2016 Cannabis Cup Brazil, 2018 Homegrown Cup; Crockett Family Farms acquired by DNA Genetics in 2019
Cannabanoid Profile
THC: 22-26% typical range (exceptional batches reach low 30%); CBD: <1% (typically 0.02-0.1%); CBG: trace amounts; High THC content from both parent strains; Low CBD ratio means THC effects dominate without significant modulation; Potency sweet spot around 23-24% THC
Comparable Strains
Banana Kush - direct parent, tropical banana sweetness, OG Kush lineage, strong resin (more purely Kush without berry notes); Bubble Gum - direct parent, sweet candy-like flavor, indica structure (straightforward bubblegum flavor, often lighter potency); Peanut Butter Breath - similar indica-dominant profile, dessert terpenes, heavy resin (nutty/earthy vs fruity, potentially more sedating); Sunset Sherbet - comparable terpene profile, euphoric and relaxing (more citrus-forward, slightly more balanced ratio); Tropicana Cookies - tropical fruit flavor, balanced hybrid effects, creative uplift (more citrus/orange, leans slightly more sativa)

Cultivation Resilience
Beginner-friendly to intermediate difficulty; Tolerates minor nutrient imbalances, occasional overwatering, slight pH fluctuations; Moderate resistance to common pests and mold; Dense bud structure requires humidity control (40-45% RH) during late flowering; Temperature tolerance 70-90°F vegetative, prefers 70-80°F flowering; Nighttime temperatures can drop into 60s; Medium to heavy feeder; Sensitive to overfeeding particularly nitrogen in late flower; Keep EC below 1.3 throughout flowering
Cultivation Flowering Time
8-10 weeks flowering (9 weeks/63 days average); Strawberry-dominant phenotypes may finish at 8 weeks; Banana-forward plants occasionally push to 10 weeks; Outdoor harvest: Early to mid-October (Northern Hemisphere), April (Southern Hemisphere); Adapts well to Mediterranean climates with warm days and cool nights
Cultivation Yield
Indoor: 15-19 oz/m² (425-540 g/m²) with proper training and nutrients; Up to 1.6-1.8 oz/ft² (400-500 g/m²) in well-dialed environments with quality LED and supplemental UVA/UVB; Outdoor: 21-23 oz (600-650g) per plant typical under Mediterranean conditions; Exceptional outdoor grows can reach 900g-1kg per plant; Generous resin production makes it valuable for hash, rosin, concentrate production
Cultivation Plant Structure
Medium height (indoor 1-1.2m, outdoor up to 2m); Bushy lateral branching typical of indica-dominant genetics; Favors multiple bud sites along branches rather than single dominant cola; Responds exceptionally well to topping; Well-suited for Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods; Low Stress Training (LST) produces excellent results; Flexible during vegetative growth
Cultivation Quality Indicators
Dense trichome-covered buds with frosted almost white appearance; Vibrant neon green base with bright orange pistils; Some purple hues acceptable; Sticky slightly spongy texture that springs back when compressed; Intense fruity sweetness with distinct strawberry and banana notes plus subtle gas/hash undertones; Under magnification trichome heads should appear milky white with some amber (10-20%); Properly cured over 7-14 days and cured in 60-65% RH for 2-4+ weeks; Smokes smoothly, tastes vibrant, breaks apart cleanly
