Reserva privada strawberry - bananna

havent been here lately but im in the process of moving & getting my new room together & a big thanks to everyone contributing to this thread really appreciate the pics & info
 
I just finished a plant of this. One thing i will say is the one i had was super frosty. Very gummy. Not much smell, and kinda has a more kief flavor, but it is very potent. Not any strawberry or banana, but i could see they used a very good bubblegum variety!
 
Grown a few cycles now, more sativa like traits, virtually no stretch at flip. Virtually no smell throughout grow either. Gets nice and fat at 10 weeks bloom, 8 weeks veg. Slight green banana smell in cure, fruity otherwise. Bubblegum taste with earthy aftertaste with 4 week cure (Boveda 62). Easy to grow, nice body/heady buzz

No pictures as I am on my iPad, I will try and upload some after I harvest, but I have 3 SB's on about day 55 of flower.

Pheno 1 stretched like a mother fucker, something like 300%, it took fim'ing and super cropping well but the buds are slim and don't look dense - I am hoping it fattens up over the next couple of weeks.

Pheno 2 didn't stretch as much (200%) and didn't take fim'ing (at least this go) so well and has produced one main cola and a few smaller heads which have already gotten quite swollen and dense and look like it will yield quite well.

Pheno 3 is slightly like a cross between the first two. It stretched the same as #2 (200%), but took fim'ing really well and produced lots of heads.... However these are thin and airy like #1.

The difference in bud structure between #2 and #1 + #3 is huge, none of them look close to being finished though so hopefully I will see a late swell in #1 and #3 or their yield will be poor. None of them produced any smell whatsoever - sterile almost! - until week 5 and #3 not until week 6/7. It was very strange for a strain I bought mostly on the premise of an interesting flavour, I was starting to get worried! I wouldn't say I can smell much banana in them, but there are sometimes elements of strawberry in there somewhere. I am assuming that since the smell came to them so late it still has a way to develop as they all smell roughly the same, maybe the difference will come out in the jars.
 
How long did everyone else take them? I see Hlusaf took them to 10, that is how long I was going to take mine - maybe give them longer in the next run if they need it - trying to decide which ones to keep for the next cycle though (I have mothers of everything) and the small looking yield of #1 and #3 is making me think I might just stick with #2.

Has anyone had phenos that fatten up right at the end? I'd like to take my new clones now instead of waiting until mine have finished to find out haha.
 
I have 6 seedlings on their 25th day. Will be posting updates here when things get more interesting. So far, they have been vigorous and not fussy at all. They started out with really fat, rounded leaves, so much so that I was starting to think these weren't even cannabis plants...but in the last few days those leaves have elongated and gotten their sharp edges. Going into flower once they are mature enough to take a clone from each plant, pheno hunt is on. Bought a 2nd pack, cuz have a good feeling about this one already.

day 26 since putting seeds into water for 12 hour soak. 1st pic with flash, second pic without...I guess it makes no difference under MH.

I am really, really interested in anything you have to say about this plant (I've got a pack of 6). Please keep posting when you know more.

They are currently on day 52. They will be going into flower in about 2 weeks. Thus far they have been very, very easy to grow, not too fussy or sensitive at all, just did some training on em and after rubbing the stems they are starting to smell a bit fruity. Will post pics here at beginning of flower and then every few weeks most likely.
 
Sorry I forgot to report back here. I grew out 6 different plants. All pretty underwhelming. Maybe one pheno could be described as a green banana smell (at best). Strawberries no where to be found. Just didn't get the fruitiness I was hoping for. Also, the nugs were not dense at all, so the yields were pretty average. Potency was decent to good, but the smell and taste just wasn't what one would hope for from a strain named StrawberryBanana. Pretty big letdown on the whole, and I popped a whole pack so they had a fair chance.
