Apple and Banana x Nicole by Candies Seed Co

Apple and Banana x Nicole is the fruit-candy pick of the Nicole family in the Candies Seed Co Collector Series VOL.1. Candies sums it up as an expressive fruit candy profile with a gassy, slightly spiced edge: sweet, loud, and built with real resin interest rather than bag appeal alone.

The first parent, listed by the breeder as Apples and Bananas, is a modern fruit-forward cut. Its exact pedigree is reported differently depending on the source, so we will not pin a lineage on it here. What is consistent is the character: apple, pear, banana, and tree-fruit sweetness, with a modern candy finish.

The second parent is Nicole, bred in Colombia by Gato of Marimberos and named after his daughter. She is logged as an indica-dominant plant from (MK Ultra x Blue Satellite) x (Shishkaberry x Blueberry). Inside this cross, Candies says Nicole adds structure, depth, and potency, giving the fruit side more backbone than a simple candy line.

Packs hold 5 feminized photoperiod seeds. The breeder’s quick stats: 8-10 weeks of flowering, Medium yield, High potency, High resin, and ideal for hash and rosin, with the note that resin expression may vary by phenotype and method.

Flavor, Effects, and Rosin Potential

The breeder’s terpene tag is fruit candy plus gas. Expect layers of crisp apple and ripe banana up front, a tropical sweetness in the middle, and then a fuel note with a touch of spice that keeps the whole thing from tasting like plain candy.

Opening a jar should feel like biting into a sugar-coated apple slice at a gas station on a hot afternoon: sweet and fruity first, with that sharp fuel smell drifting in right behind it. That contrast is exactly what makes fruit-and-gas profiles attractive in a rosin jar.

Candies does not publish effect notes for this cross. As a hedged guide, the Apples and Bananas parent is commonly described as happy, relaxed, and euphoric, while Nicole is described as calming and spacy. A cheerful start that settles into a calm, relaxed finish is a reasonable expectation, though individual phenotypes can vary.

For collectors, the appeal is simple: a fruit line that still keeps the Hash First mindset. You get loud, attractive terps on the plant and a resin-focused parent behind them, which is the combination solventless makers are usually chasing.
