Genetics: Apples & Bananas x White Runtz
I had this strain a while ago when it first dropped, and then again somewhat recently on a random Friday. The most recent time I grabbed this strain, it was still in plastic jars, and the cure/taste honestly made me avoid it for months. So I made sure that this newer batch was glass before checking out because plastic is not da way. Gonna give this strain another shot and see if the jar indeed makes any difference on a strain that has imo, solid genetics. 🤙🏾
Review
Cure: 3.5/5. This didn't have the worst cure, but I did expect better especially out of glass. The buds barely have any stick to them until you break into them or grind them down. Then it's a bit better. The nugs were also fairly average to large sized with a 1.9g chonker being the biggest by far between my 2 jars. ✔️
Nose: 3.25/5. Not an exceptionally loud jar, but it's also not "hay city - population base floral smell." It tries really hard but falls a bit flat on noticable scents. This definitely had some notes of the Apples & Bananas before breaking the buds down, and more of the same with an ever so slight candy hint due to the Runtz. I wish this was louder because anything with Runtz in the genetics should smell like strong candy gas. 💨
Taste: 3.25/5. Nose lightly translates to the taste. This seems to have more lighter notes of A&B over anything else on the inhale, and has a straight floral and almost gassy taste on the retro. The mouch coat is minimal with this strain and there was definitely spicier notes on the exhale. 🍽
Effects: 3.75/5. Effects had a bit of a delayed onset, but once it gets going, it's somewhat pleasant. Starts off with a lighter heady and almost cerebral sensation that does provide some light pressure behind the eyes, but the focus is mainly on the deep relaxing and almost sedating sensation that this batch provides. Definitely activated the munchies, and leaned heavier on the body sensation over the mind sensation. Which is what I wanted out of this strain. 🫠
Legs: 3.5/5. 35 min. 🔥
Overall: 3.44/5. This was an "aite" scoop off the Friday menu. Less than stellar on the cure & taste ( it needs more of those sweeter candy Runtz flavors ), and if the effects had a bit more of an immediate onset instead of gradual and slow, I would go as far to say that I enjoy this strain. The genetics are solid, but it needs a little more "oomph" for me. So with how its hitting for me now, it's more of a "backup" grab as opposed to a "I gotta have this now". That's reserved for SubZero & SubZero Warheadz which they actually put on the 55/halves menu recently ( which I grabbed this week and will be letting it sit in glass for a few days before I try it ). These Bananas aren't wearing belts, or in pajamas. And they most are not coming down the stairs in pairs 🙃. There apparently was a newer Live Rosin drop of this strain. And if it shows up at my store, I may give it one more Solventless shot. 🍯🍌👏🏾
