Apples & Bananas
Apples & Bananas
Also known as: Apples and Bananas
Overview
Apples & Bananas is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed through a collaboration between renowned breeders Cookies and Compound Genetics. This strain resulted from an intricate breeding process involving a complex genetic lineage: ((Platinum Cookies x Granddaddy Purple) x Blue Power) x Gelatti. Created by Christopher Lynch (founder of Tiger Trees, which later became Compound Genetics) and released in 2019, this strain quickly gained popularity for its exceptional balance of effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain typically maintains a 50/50 indica-to-sativa ratio, making it a well-balanced hybrid that delivers both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. Apples & Bananas is characterized by dense, chunky buds with olive-green and violet leaves, long vibrant orange pistils, and a generous coating of frosty trichomes that give the buds a shimmering appearance. The strain's name accurately reflects its flavor profile, combining sweet apple and ripe banana notes with subtle hints of spice, diesel, and pine undertones.

Growing Information
Apples & Bananas is considered moderately easy to cultivate and suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments. Indoor flowering time ranges from 7-10 weeks, with outdoor harvest typically ready by late September to early October. The strain thrives in controlled indoor conditions with temperatures between 70-80°F (22-25°C) and moderate humidity levels. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter (250-350 g/m²), while outdoor plants can produce 350-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to low-stress training techniques such as Screen of Green (ScrOG) and Sea of Green (SOG) to maximize yield potential. It adapts well to various growing mediums including soil and hydroponic systems, with hydroponic cultivation potentially increasing yields by up to 20%. Regular pruning and proper training are recommended to improve airflow and light penetration, resulting in denser, more resinous buds.
