Genetics and Characteristics

Banana Sherbet is an exceptional strain, epitomizing the best of the legendary American breeding tradition. It is the result of crossing California's top-selling Sunset Sherbet with the equally impressive Banana Kush. This strain produces dense, pyramid-shaped buds with a lush green hue, beautifully accented by delicate amber-colored stigmas and sparkling crystalline trichomes. Flowering finishes in 8-9 weeks, with outdoor harvests in early October. Indoors, growers can expect a generous yield of about 600 g/m² (21 oz) of top-quality marijuana in this timeframe. Outdoors, a single plant can produce approximately 750 g (26.5 oz) of equally fragrant and potent flowers.

Flavor and Aroma

This delight offers a lusciously sweet and fruity flavor that paints a vibrant canvas of a ripe banana intertwined with a burst of juicy citrus. This medley is further enriched by layers of subtle berry notes, a creamy whisper, and a final note of pleasing acidity on the exhalation. The aroma mirrors this palette, weaving in threads of spicy earthiness, hints of hash, and delicate touches of tobacco to create a true symphony for the senses.

Recreational and Medicinal Use

The effects of Banana Sherbet are as vibrant as its sensory palette. This ideal evening strain lifts your spirits, offering a refreshing burst of energy after a long day. As you experience a pleasant wave of comfort, it sparks creativity and sociability, gradually leading you into a state of relaxation. Here, you drift into a realm of dreams and contemplation. With its moderate CBD content, around 1%, and a diverse terpene profile, Banana Sherbet gently alleviates pain and inflammation, easing stress, depression, and fatigue, and ultimately enhancing the quality of your sleep.

Cultivation

Banana Sherbet is a low-maintenance plant, ideal for first-time growers. Its seeds have high germination rates with traditional methods and transition quickly from vigorous vegetative growth to the flowering stage. This plant thrives both indoors and outdoors. For outdoor growth, a dry, warm climate with plenty of sunlight is especially beneficial. However, due to its susceptibility to mold and pests, maintaining low relative humidity is essential. This can be achieved by installing a reliable ventilation system and implementing other humidity control strategies. For indoor cultivation, it's advisable to use pots with a capacity of at least 20-25 liters (5.3-6.6 gallons).

Banana Sherbet thrives under a variety of training techniques. In particular, we recommend low-stress training (LST), fimming (FIM), and defoliation during the vegetative phase, coupled with the Sea of Green (SoG) or Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods. These techniques help create a uniform canopy of leaves and flowers, ensuring that each cola receives ample light. This exposure significantly increases both the quantity and quality of your crop. To achieve the perfect harvest time, closely monitor the color of the trichomes. The ideal moment is when they turn a milky color, with about one-third developing a pleasant amber hue.
