Banana Hammock

Banana Hammock is one of the newer cannabis strains created by cannabis breeding experts from Ethos genetics in Colorado. It is a cross between two Indica dominant hybrids; Grape God and Mandarin Sunset. Being Indica dominant, Banana Hammock produces large foliage with a purple hue. The leaves of this plant are also densely covered with crystal trichromes that give the leaves a whitish appearance. The trichromes make these leaves difficult to crush without the use of a grinder.

The grape and honey scented smoke from Banana Hammock is unmistakable and indicative of the rich terpene profile. However, don’t mistake the purple hue of this plant’s foliage to be the cause of the grape like scent. Pigmentation is as a result of the abounding flavanoids while scents are attributable to the presence of terpenes. This strain lacks the strong skunk like cannabis odor but is instead clothed with tropical undertones that make the hit gentle on the throat.

Like most Indica strains, Banana Hammock takes a short time to grow, taking between 55-60 days from sowing to flowering. This strain has high amounts of THC, testing above 20%. The potent body stone makes it ideal for evening use when you just want to kick off your shoes and be a couch potato. However, the CBD content of this strain is low, being around 2%.
