"Banana OG" is probably a little different than what you might be thinking of. It's actually Wedding Cake BX1 #3 crossed with a Banana OG F3, so quite different from the normal banana OG. It doesn't smell like bananas at all and it's actually more of a spicy lime with mild skunkiness and some fruit. It's not super stanky, but very pleasant.
At any rate, for $22 I got a single nug 8th. This is supposed to be a budget brand, but it's consistently on par or better than the main label offerings lately. It's not even untrimmed or larfy or anything. You could have put this in a $45 jar and I would have been happy. Haven't smoked any, not quite ready to break this fat little fuck up yet. I'm hoping it keeps some of the indica leaning goodness of the namesake when I do.
Tropical thunder seems iffy. I've had it before and it was much better grown and had a really nice fruity taste, while this looks similar it smells more like spicy candy weed. Dunno if it's a diff strain or just none of the good tasting terps developed because of the shitty grow. I guess I'll find out when I smoke it.
Finally, the entire reason I made the trip - "Blueberry Bonds" from Highsman, or H as it's known here since you can't say high in my state (lol), by Ricky Williams (yes, the running back). It's actually just a rebranding of one of our existing growers, and this is the same DJ short blueberry I always get. It's a kind of weird batch.. Only has like half the myrcene it usually does so it has more of an earthy smell than just straight sweet blueberry goodness like it sometimes does. I left it in glass with a humidity booster overnight so hopefully that brings some more of the sweetness out. Gonna roll one up to smoke before football today.
Only thing I've tried so far is the crippy (Florida Kush) from our only all organic live soil grower and wooo-weeee its even better than the last time I had it. Straight piney, earthy OG goodness. I always find that if I take a break from strains like this for a while when I come back to them they're crazy effective. Just instant relaxation and all your pain disappears. After a few hits you're just sitting there with a mouth full of dirty pine funk and ear to ear grin. Great stuff.
