Applez & Bananaz has built a huge buzz among growers and connoisseurs, and several seed companies now sell their own take on it. Growers Choice’s version starts from the source: through a collaboration with a fellow breeder, the team obtained original clones of the Blue Power x Gelatti cross, raised a mother plant from them, and bred new generations from that selection.
The outcome is a 60% Indica / 40% Sativa feminized strain with THC listed at 30%+, putting it in the very top tier of modern potency. Light-green buds grow tall and voluminous, finishing in about 9 weeks indoors with a solid, heavy feel in the hand.
Production is impressive. Expect 650-750 g/m² (2.13-2.46 oz/ft²) indoors and 600-750 g (21.2-26.5 oz) per plant outdoors, with an outdoor harvest in the first week of October. High mold resistance adds a welcome safety margin for big, dense flowers.
Indoors this is a tall grower, regularly passing 150 cm (59 in), so it rewards growers who plan for vertical space from day one.
Flavor and Effects: Big Aroma, Big Potency
Growers Choice highlights an outstanding aroma and flavor without listing specific notes, but the jar does the talking. Expect a sweet, fruit-forward bouquet with a rich, creamy depth from the Gelatti side and a darker, berry-tinged undertone from Blue Power. The smoke is full and aromatic, and the scent clings to fingers and grinders long after a session.
It is like walking past a fruit stand at night with a gelato shop open next door: sweet, rich, and impossible to ignore.
At 30%+ THC, the effect is unmistakably strong. A quick lift in mood comes first, then the 60% indica side spreads a heavy, warm relaxation through the body while the mind drifts in a thick, pleasant haze.
This is a strain for experienced consumers and evening sessions. Small amounts are more than enough to feel its weight, and larger ones will clear your schedule for the rest of the night.
Growing Applez & Bananaz
Height is the main thing to manage indoors. Top the plant once or twice in veg, train the branches outward with LST, and run a SCROG net to keep the canopy flat before flipping to 12/12. That spreads the light over many tops and stops a few dominant colas from racing toward the lamp.
During the 9-week bloom, buds swell into large, solid light-green flowers. Keep humidity moderate and airflow steady; high mold resistance helps, but dense, voluminous colas always benefit from a little extra care. Support heavy branches with a trellis or stakes in the final weeks.
Outdoors, give Applez & Bananaz a sunny spot, a large container or open ground, and room to stretch. Harvest arrives in the first week of October, early enough to beat most autumn rain in temperate regions.
