Tropicanna Banana — Barney's Farm

Seb's take

Seb Silverback

Tropicanna crossed with Banana Kush, and the fruit comes through exactly as billed — tropical, sweet, unmistakably banana. Sativa-dominant, the high leans uplifting and happy, with enough relaxation underneath to keep you pleasantly anchored rather than adrift. A holiday in plant form, minus the sunburn.

Growing Tropicanna Banana: what to expect

Feminized photoperiod seed: every plant a female, and flowering starts when you change the lights — which puts the calendar in your hands. The photoperiod lesson covers using that control well.

Flowering runs the standard 10 weeks — no surprises, which in this business is a compliment. The flowering stage guide covers what each of those weeks should look like.

A middling 110 cm or so at maturity — tall enough to yield, short enough to manage. Standard tent territory; the light planner sorts the hanging height.

The yield is, in plain terms, heavy — 700 g/m² when she's looked after. Branches will need support before they need sympathy; see supporting heavy colas.

THC of 25% by the breeder's numbers — the top shelf of the scale. Approach as you would a staircase in the dark.

The nose is fruit-led, and generous about it.

The dominant note in the reviews is uplifting; daytime company, by most accounts.
