Seedsman continues to expand its library of exciting new genetics. Hot on the heels of two high-THC photoperiod releases, the all-new Alaskan Bananaberry Auto adds a different component to the menu. We’ll take a closer look at this tasty new variety, what it offers, and how it grows.
As the first seed band to introduce autoflowering cannabis varieties for commercial sale, Seedsman has a solid reputation as pioneers of autoflowering weed. It makes sense, then, that their latest variety would be a superb addition to their already-remarkable range of autoflowering genetics.
Parentage
Alaskan Bananaberry Auto is a fast-cycle hybrid strain and features a skillful marriage of Alaskan Purple Strawberry Banana Punch Auto. Alaskan Purple is one of Seedsman’s best-yielding strains, known for its vigorous growth and high potency. Strawberry Banana provides the ruderalis genetics to add the autoflowering properties, but also bolsters the THC content and adds unbelievable fruitiness to the flavor profile.
Growing Information
As an autoflowering variety, Alaskan Bananaberry Auto is naturally a piece of cake to grow. Great genetics allow this strain to flourish in any environment, so whether you’re looking to make the most of great outdoor conditions, maximize gains under indoor lights, or potter away in your greenhouse, Alaskan Bananaberry Auto will see you enjoy great results after a trouble-free growing experience. If you’re an indoor grower, you may want to make a point of tightening up your odor control game – the incredible terps on this strain pretty much guarantee intense aromatic punch!
You’ll find Alaskan Bananaberry Auto has a quick turnaround, racing from seed to harvest in a mere 8 weeks, and you can expect relatively smooth sailing thanks to its ability to fend off some common grower’s nightmares - mold and diseases. Naturally, this is a common feature of autoflowering strains, but ABA seems to have a little bit extra, offering great tolerance through humidity and drought into the bargain.
Appearance
Plants tend to exhibit a tall central cola flanked by shorter lateral branching that hints at a sativa-like structure. As Alaskan Bananaberry Auto matures, cooler temperatures will force out a stunning light purple tone on the stems and amid the lush greens of the foliage, lending a spectacular ornamental beauty to the overall appearance later in flowering. Come harvest time, Alaskan Bananaberry Auto’s juicy buds are of a medium density and covered with a generous blanket of trichomes that provide sensational high bag appeal.
THC Content
There’s so much more to a cannabis strain than potency, but to many consumers, it’s still the be-all and end-all. Good news, then, if you’re all about that magic number – Alaskan Bananaberry Auto doesn’t disappoint. THC content is between 16-24%, so it falls on the medium to higher end of the potency scale. It’s a good number for an autoflowering cannabis strain, and the combination of indica/sativa qualities sees it lean towards the ‘heavier stone’ side of things from an effects standpoint. Already touted for its dreamy qualities, Alaskan Bananaberry Auto offers a restful experience for both body and mind, but one that is well balanced enough to avoid straying beyond comfortably numb.
Plant Height
Autoflowering plants are often a favorite of cultivators looking to produce in confined spaces. There are other advantages that make them a popular choice, of course, but their shorter stature is a huge advantage for many. Alaskan Bananaberry Auto may measure up anywhere between 100-200cm, as its long central cola stretches for glory, so it has the potential for a loftier final height than some auto strains.
Plant Yield
Initially overlooked by many for their tendency to yield significantly lower at harvest time, today’s autoflowering strains have come a long way from their earlier counterparts. Excellence in breeding know-how means the gap continues to narrow between autoflowering and photoperiod cannabis strains, and Alaskan Bananaberry Auto delights with its generous yield potential.
Indoor growers can prepare jars for a bustling 450gm/m2 of fabulous sticky buds, while outdoor cultivation can produce equally respectable turnovers of around 450gm/plant. Outdoor growers planting later in the season can expect returns nearer 200gm/plant, so if you want to maximize yield potential, get to work early!
Aroma and Taste
We previously touched on Alaskan Bananaberry Auto’s massively muscular aromatic profile, but what does it actually smell like? The scent is certainly a powerful one, offering a pleasant mix of earthy, floral, and fruity notes. Going further, it’s like the smell of fresh soil after rain, with hints of wildflowers and sweet juicy ripe berries. It’s a potent blend, for sure, but it’s a welcome and intriguing mixture of scents that demands further investigation. The taste of Alaskan Bananaberry doesn’t disappoint, keeping the promises made by the scent, and delivering abundant ripe fruit notes that make for a sweet and highly juicy flavor profile.
Conclusion
With its ease of growing, great vigor, and killer taste profile, Alaskan Bananaberry Auto makes a solid new additional to Seedsman’s exceptional line of autoflowering varieties. Cultivators will love its simplicity, its ability to resist mold, and the high bag appeal of the finished product. Alaskan Bananaberry Auto holds its own in any climate, producing great yields of killer bud.
You can buy Alaskan Bananaberry Auto from Seedsman in packs of 1, 3, 5, or 10 seeds.
