What to Know About Fat Banana Strain
Aroma
The Fat Banana aroma is of sour bananas and fresh, earthy fruits accented by a touch of sharp citrus.
Flavor
Fat Banana is known for having a sweet taste that contains hints of citrus. Of course, there is a notable banana overtone that’s accented by earthy and sour citrus flavors.
Appearance
Fat Banana plants grow bushy, with a large central cola. The top buds don’t grow as fat as some strains, but lower buds are thick, extremely dense, and heavily stacked.
It’s a very frosty plant with a great bud to leaf ratio – this saves a lot of time when trimming. Be careful of the stretch as the plant gets very tall but maintains tight node spacing.
The Fat Banana buds have oversized, chunky pepper-shaped pale green with orange hairs and sticky amber colored crystal trichomes.
THC Content – Highest Test
Fat Banana is an exceptionally potent strain with an already higher than average THC level of 25%. However, some tests have found the THC level to be as high as 28%, which is truly exceptional.
CBD Content – Highest Test
It shouldn’t be surprising to hear that Fat Banana contains only trace amounts of CBD, given that it has a much higher than average THC level. There are only a few strains out there that manage to contain high levels of both CBD and THC.
Medical Benefits of Fat Banana Strain
Thanks to its super high THC levels and high-powered effects, Fat Banana can be used to treat those who suffer from medical conditions such as chronic stress, depression, insomnia, muscle spasms, and appetite loss.
The high is powerful, so you may want to avoid this strain if you’re new to using cannabis. However, if you can handle the Fat Banana high, it’s an excellent appetite stimulant if you have an eating disorder.
Furthermore, it can ease you into a deep sleep if you suffer from insomnia.
The Fat Banana high is primarily felt in the body, which makes it great for relieving pain. Being an indica-dominant strain, the body high helps to numb mild to severe pain, which allows the mind and body to relax.
Because of the heavy indica base, don’t expect to be very active when using Fat Banana. But if a couch-locked effect and good sleep are what you are after, then you’re going to love it.
Possible Side Effects of Fat Banana Strain
Smoking high THC cannabis strains, like Fat Banana, may result in some undesirable effects. Red eyes and dry mouth are the most common physical side effects linked to THC.
Although these are only minor inconveniences, they can be very annoying. Be sure to drink lots of water and have eye drops nearby to minimize the problem.
High-THC strains could also cause more serious side effects, such as anxiety and paranoia. While cannabis can be helpful in treating anxiety in small doses, when taken in large doses, it can actually increase feelings of anxiety.
This is why it’s so important to dose appropriately. Consuming too much weed is more likely to result in undesirable side effects.
