Apples and Bananas reviews
Read people’s experiences with the cannabis strain Apples and Bananas.
I have tried this strain from two different companies. cookie's and artehemp. it's a very good strain, and I'll be honest. Artehemp cut was just as good, especially for the price. It's definitely a strain I keep in my rotation. robust aroma and flavor from both companies.
Apples & Bananas isn’t a cookies strain. This complex cross was first introduced in late 2019 by the rebranded 2nd incarnation of Compound Genetics, after the initial Compound Genetics, founded by Tiger Trees on the business side & Jeff WyEast on the breeding, went defunct after the two parted ways (I’m not one to gossip or talk crap, but basically WyEast discovered that TT was cooking the books & being dishonest about several things, so the initial Compound collapsed, & Jeff founded WyEast Farms, making excellent use of the Jet Fuel Gelato, The Menthol, & other bangers he’d worked with or bred for the original company).
The new Compound Genetics was formed in 2019 a & was granted the rights to use some of the original companies plants. Most crucially the Crane City Cannabis bred Jet Fuel Gelato & the Jeff Wyeast bred Menthol. But none of that has anything to do with Apples & Bananas. One of the earliest & most complex projects by the new Compound, Apples & Bananas is (((Platnium Cookies & Granddaddy Purple) x Blue Power) x Gelatti). A genetic powerhouse, she spread slowly through the cannabis community but by 2023 had achieved saturation, & with the best clone companies still distributing the Compound cut of Apples & Bananas, she found her way into many gardens, of both excellent buyers and growers alike. Compound has produced many complex and killer genetics since its relaunch, including two lines based on Apples & Bananas.
A&B doesn’t have much banana in its terpene profile. It is particularly heavy in Linalool however, which can give some cuts a lavender scent, or combined with other terpenes, produce the scents of some darker fruits. The terpene profile is dominated by Caryophyllene, with high levels of limonene, linalool, & myrcene among others. She has an overall terpene profile that’s dominated by tree fruits, apples, pears, pepper, some skunk, some spice, a bit of citrus & sometimes grape or some darker fruits. She’s a potent smoke that leans slightly indica, but with very even effects that will become more indica the more she’s smoked. Initially she provides a lovely arousal, inspires creativity, & makes you feel happy and giggly. Smoke too much & you’ll risk getting sedated, stoned, & might just pass out. But in smaller amounts, or smoked slowly over time she has beautiful middle of the road effects and excellent medicinal properties that help deal with pain, ADD, depression, anxiety, & inflammation.
The buds are beautiful, with an incredible bag appeal. They are a beautiful mix of purples, reds, pinks, blues, & greens when grown properly, & when dried and cured well, her terpene profile is one of the best of recent years. Already the parent of several excellent crosses, Compound & other breeders have made phenomenal use of her killer genetic makeup.
Very good for focus and remaining calm. It did not put me to sleep, but I was alert, but not couched.
Nice strain to get the day started. Enjoyed a day on the beach with a few blunts rolled. Very uplifting and bubbly.
This strain is awesome. I have insomnia and when I smoked this strain I was able to fall asleep and sleep through the night. Apples and bananas was very relaxing and really helped my anxiety, depression and ptsd. It makes me very giggly. It also helped with pain and it gave me the munchies.
AHHH-MAZING taste & fragrance! My eyelids feel like they weigh 10lbs each!!! 🤣🥴 Great strain when watching a good flick...intense...in fact, I will note it as a favorite. 🌿💜🌿 ✔️-it-out!
This strain starts off with anxiety, but the come down is soooooo gooood. Wont be too sleepy - I was up all night asking my girlfriend tons of dumb questions. I felt a little stupid sometimes and would easily forget little things and zone out. STRONG. Smoke with your partner because again, the come down will have you aroused!
Timeline:
Come up - Anxious, paranoid, hungry, motivated/creative. Come down - creative, hungry, sleepy, aroused
I’ve been smoking almost daily for probably around 4 years now and Apples and Bananas is easily the best strain I’ve ever tried. Everything about it from the smell to the taste to the look to the actual effect is just perfect I would get at least an 8th every dispo trip for the rest of my life if I could
