Critical Banana Smoothie
Also known as: Banana Smoothie
Critical Banana Smoothie Strain Overview
Critical Banana Smoothie is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica, 30% sativa) developed by Tastebudz Genetics, a UK-based breeder established in 2019. This strain represents a masterful cross between Banana Punch and Critical, combining the tropical sweetness of banana genetics with the robust yield and potency of Critical lineage. The breeding aimed to create a strain that captures the heavy, relaxing properties of traditional indicas while incorporating a unique tropical flavor profile that sets it apart in the dessert strain category.
The strain is renowned for its distinctive tropical terpene profile, featuring dominant notes of ripe banana, coconut cream, citrus, and pineapple that create an aromatic experience reminiscent of a tropical smoothie. Critical Banana Smoothie exhibits dense, trichome-rich buds with compact structure typical of indica genetics, though some growers report variability in trichome coverage and occasional hermaphroditic tendencies under stress. With THC levels reaching up to 25% and minimal CBD content (0.25%), this strain delivers potent psychoactive effects balanced by its complex terpene profile that includes Alpha-pinene, Linalool, and D-Limonene.
