Banana Puddintain strain guide
Banana Puddintain is a very strong, indica-leaning cross of Banana OG and GMO genetics, credited to Swamp Boys Seeds. People know it for a sweet, creamy banana smell with a gassy, funky edge and a relaxed, tingly feel.
Where does Banana Puddintain come from?
Every source agrees on one parent: Banana OG. The other side comes from the GMO line, but the exact plant differs by source. Some list GMO Cookies on its own, while others give a GMO and TK Skunk cross, which would make it a three-way mix. The breeder most often named is Swamp Boys Seeds.
It's usually listed as about 80% indica. The name is a play on banana pudding, which suits the smell, but it's a different strain from Banana Pudding.
What does Banana Puddintain smell and taste like?
The banana comes through first: sweet, sugary and a little creamy, sometimes described as overripe banana or plantain. Underneath sits the GMO side, with gas, diesel and a sharp, funky note some people liken to ammonia. Citrus and lemon show up in some batches.
Its published terpene results put limonene on top, then pinene and caryophyllene. Limonene fits the citrus lift, pinene the fresh edge and caryophyllene the peppery spice. Several people mention a heavy pull on the inhale.
Banana Puddintain effects: what people report
People most often describe Banana Puddintain as relaxed, tingly and uplifted. Some reviewers say the start is happy and euphoric, even a little energizing and focused, before it settles into the body. Larger amounts tend to tip it toward sleepy, and hunger comes up too.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the most common complaints, and some people mention feeling anxious.
How strong is Banana Puddintain?
Banana Puddintain is a very high-THC strain. Listings put it at about 26% to 30% THC, with very little CBD.
That's a lot, even for regular users. Start with a small amount and give it time before having more, and check the THC on your label, since it can vary a lot from batch to batch.
Buying Banana Puddintain in Canada
Since sources disagree on the exact GMO parent, different producers may be selling slightly different plants. The THC number and any terpenes on the label are your best guide to what's in the package.
You might find it as dried flower, pre-rolls or concentrates. Check the packaging date as well, since fresher flower keeps more of that banana smell.
Banana Puddintain vs Banana OG
Banana OG is the parent that gives Banana Puddintain its banana smell. Banana OG is sweeter and more tropical, with an earthy Kush base and a heavy, relaxed reputation. Banana Puddintain keeps the banana but adds GMO's gas and funk, and it's usually listed several points higher in THC. If you want a straightforward sweet banana strain, start with Banana OG. If you like a savoury, gassy edge, try Banana Puddintain.
