How to grow Panama x Bangi Haze
Taste
Seb's take
Panama Goddess meets Bangi Haze in a cross that prefers its climate warm and its humidity kept firmly in check. Musk, lemon, and floral notes on the nose; the high is psychedelic, euphoric, and creative in roughly equal measure. Ten to eleven weeks of flowering, and best fed lightly before you turn up the volume.
Where it comes from
Ace Seeds crossed Panama Goddess with Bangi Haze for this 80 percent sativa-dominant hybrid, a pairing of two heritage lines with African and Central American character between them. Bangi Haze brings its own hardy, resinous reputation, and Panama Goddess the bright landrace lift. The result prefers its climate warm and its humidity kept firmly in check, which tells you plainly where its roots lie. A considered cross for a grower who can give it the conditions it evolved to expect.
Nose & flavour
Musk leads, with a bright lemon note cutting through and a floral lift over the top. It is a nuanced, layered profile rather than a loud one, the muskiness giving it body while the citrus keeps it fresh. A characterful, well-composed aroma that shows the quality of both parents and holds its balance from grind to exhale. Refined rather than shouty. Pleasant and distinctive throughout.
The high
Psychedelic, euphoric and creative, in roughly equal measure, a bright cerebral effect true to the heavy sativa lean. It reaches upward and outward rather than settling the body, the sort of high that suits reflection and creative work. A lively, expansive experience with real character to it. Given the psychedelic edge, an unhurried setting suits it best. Engaging, thoughtful company for a slow and open afternoon.
Growing it
She wants a warm climate, with Ace recommending an indoor temperature of 24 to 27C throughout the cycle and low humidity of 30 to 40 percent with excellent ventilation. Feed her lightly for the first four weeks of vegetation, then build the strength through flowering. She takes 70 to 77 days to finish, or the second to third week of October outdoors. THC runs 18 to 21 percent, with CBD at 1 percent. The record gives no height or yield, so I will not invent them. A rewarding grow for someone who can meet her conditions.
