Fat Banana

Just picturing an oversized banana in your mind is enough to make you laugh, but smoking Fat Banana is said to bring more than just smiles to your face. Created by Royal Queen Seeds, this indica-dominant gal is a cross between OG Kush and Chiquita Banana, resulting in a mixture of flavors, aromas, and effects that won’t soon be forgotten.

Ideal for more experienced tokers, Fat Banana averages at a 25% THC potency and makes your mouth water from the moment you see her. Each nug is oversized with bright orange hairs that stand out against a pale green background. Amber crystals are sticky and plentiful, letting users know that they’re in for a treat. While you’d expect robust banana flavor from a strain named as such, what most are surprised to find are the notes of citrus and earth that also make themselves known in the mix.

Fat Banana might seem like a calm strain at first, as many users note that euphoria sets in right away but doesn’t feel too terribly overwhelming. Just when you think you’ve reached your limits of joy, it’s likely that your experience will shift to one that’s very body heavy in nature. Tingles are said to be common and you’ll probably feel strongly sedated from head to toe. It’s at this point that one of two things tends to happen: you’ll either grab everything in your kitchen and eat to your heart’s content or you’ll go to bed. Some smokers end up doing both, but we’re not judging.

Since your overall experience with Fat Banana will probably be one that’s positive and relaxing, why not try her out for medicinal purposes when symptoms are extra intense? Many turn to this strain for help with anxiety and depression as it can work to clear away worries with ease. Physical ailments are often no match for this bud too, earning Fat Banana a reputation for being great for pain, insomnia, or even nausea and a loss of appetite.

Home growers often find Royal Queen Seeds to be one of their favorite breeders as they not only make seeds readily available for purchase but they also provide information regarding each strain’s unique preferences. Fat Banana thrives inside and outdoors, but cultivators should keep in mind that buds can become quite large, requiring extra support for each individual plant. After 7 to 8 weeks of indoor growth, you’ll be gifted with what many claim is a sizable harvest.

If you don’t like banana flavors then this bud isn’t for you, but those who are looking to take a walk on the tropical side of things should certainly give Fat Banana a try. It’s advised that this strain is reserved for night or weekend use only, as her effects have a tendency to get rather intense. Before you smoke, make sure to stock your kitchen and fluff your pillows, because it’s anyone’s guess which direction the night will take you in.
