THCa Flower Banana Kush

Description:
THCa Flower Banana Kush is as smooth as a creamy banana cream pie all the way to the last puff. Named one of the best-tasting strains, this highly coveted flower eases the mind with fruity, creamy inhales and relaxes the body with smooth, earthy exhales. These delicious forest green buds are packed with Limonene, Myrcene, and Beta-caryophyllene. This combination is known for its uplifting cerebral psychoactive effect that leaves many with the giggles.
Each dense bud breaks apart into a treat for the nose. There is a crisp fruity aroma coupled with faint gas and skunk. The Banana Kush strain is an Indica-dominant strain cultivated indoors for a very strong potency. This strain uplifts any part of the day or can help let go of the day’s stress before bed. It is known for helping relieve anxiety or reduce pain.
When heated to a high enough temperature, THCa flower decarboxylates into the euphoric Delta 9 THC. This is why smoking or vaping has become the preferred method for many enthusiasts. So, once the Banana Kush strain is lit, get ready to relax and enjoy dessert before bed.

What is THCa?
THCa (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is one of 120+ naturally occurring cannabinoids within the cannabis plant. This cannabinoid is garnering more attention because it is the precursor to THC. Multiple studies reveal when THCa is heated it decarboxylates into the psychoactive Delta 9 THC. This cannabinoid does differ from other cannabinoids, such as Delta 8 and Delta 10 because it does not create any euphoric effects when eaten raw. The temperature of the human body is hot enough to decarboxylate THCa. Higher temperatures must be reached using tools, such as a lighter, torch, or vaporizer. Once converted, Delta 9 bonds with the CB1 and CB2 receptors of the endocannabinoid system to produce psychoactive effects. Delta 9 THC is also known for its anxiolytic (anti-anxiety), antiemetic (anti-nausea), analgesic (pain relieving), orexigenic (appetite stimulant), and neuroprotective properties.
What is THCa flower?
THCa flower is cultivated specifically for unique mood states and terpene profiles. These strains can be Sativa, Indica, and hybrid strains. They thrive in both indoor and outdoor grown environments. Each THCa flower strain can create a different euphoric mood state for each person. These effects are based on the cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profiles. After trying multiple strains, some consumers enjoy a flower with a higher Linalool concentration because it creates a relaxing mood state. Others find Myrcene to be an uplifting and creative mood state. Some popular THCa strains include the Gelonade strain, Black Cherry Soda strain, Han Solo strain, and Granddaddy Purple strain.
Remember to decarboxylate or heat THCa flower to enjoy the psychoactive effects. If THCa flower is consumed raw, do not expect any feeling of euphoria. The temperature of the human body can not convert THCa into Delta 9.
THCa vs THC Flower?
Unlike THC in legal states, THCa flower is tested using liquid chromatography. THC flower, which is the term often used by recreational dispensaries to refer to marijuana, is normally tested using gas chromatography. This test requires the raw flower to be heated in order to determine the potency or overall percentage of Delta 9 THC. Liquid chromatography does not require heat but instead uses cold water. When this test is used, the potency of these flowers is determined by the amount of the cannabinoid THCa instead of Delta 9 THC.
CBG is one of the first cannabinoids to appear on a young cannabis plant. It quickly converts into six other cannabinoids, including THCa. As the plant matures, THCa is heated by the sun or other environmental factors. Small amounts do decarboxylate into Delta 9 THC. Usually, this accounts for 0.3%-0.5% of the entire plant. This happens in small amounts naturally, but this same conversion happens when THCa flower is heated with a lighter, torch, vape, or oven. Once converted into Delta 9 THC, it interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to produce relaxing psychoactive effects.
How is THCa flower made?
THCa flower is a naturally occurring cannabis flower. There is no process to manufacture or create THCa. Studies show this cannabinoid appears early on and grows in abundance. During maturation, the flower is heated by the surrounding area and the sun. This decarboxylates small amounts of THCa into Delta 9 THC. This process occurs on a larger scale when THCa flower is heated using a flame or other heat source. When cannabis flower is tested using a liquid chromatography test, it has been found that all strains have a higher THCa concentration than Delta 9.
What is Cannabis Indica flower?
A new species of cannabis called Indica was proposed in 1785 by French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck after receiving samples from India. Lamarck described in detail the differences between Indica and the European Sativa plant in his book. He noted that Indica plants grow shorter and bushier with wider leaves. They also grow well in colder climates because of their shorter growth cycle.
It is believed by many that Indica strains create an intense body and cerebral euphoria. This effect can be very relaxing and help reduce anxiety or improve sleep. Many Indica strains do have these effects, but it is not true for all of them. Experts agree that a plant’s genetics have little to do with the overall effects. The effects of cannabis are determined more by the cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids present. The other factor is someone’s own physiology. That is why two people can have two different experiences even though they both smoked the same strain. Some Indica strains can have a stronger concentration of THC while another has more CBD. Usually, there is a one-to-one ratio in Indica strains.
What is an Indica Dominant Hybrid Strain?
Many growers agree that there are very few pure Indica and pure Sativa strains. Mother Nature has been cross-breeding strains for generations. Growers have been combining the effects of strains to find bigger and better strains through cross-breeding for decades. These new strains cross-bred by growers can either be 50% Sativa and 50% Indica or a different ratio. Indica-dominant hybrids tend to have an Indica ratio of 60% or higher. Many say they feel strong psychoactive effects that can be very lethargic, but emotionally uplifting after consuming Indica strains. This isn’t the case for everyone. Personal physiology and each strain’s cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profile can create different effects in each person. This is the reason that not all Indica-dominant hybrid strains affect everyone the same.
What is the Difference Between Indica and Sativa Strains?
Many consumers believe that an Indica strain has a strong psychoactive effect that is very relaxing and sleepy. These same consumers will say that a Sativa strain has an uplifting euphoric effect that is energizing and creative. While these opinions can be true for a lot of people, it is not true for everyone. Indica strains, like Granddaddy Purple, can be very uplifting, and some Sativa strains, like the Mac 1 strain, keep some people on the couch for a long time. These effects depend more on the cannabinoid, terpene, and flavonoid profile of each strain than the plant’s genetics. A person’s size and tolerance are other factors in the effects. This is why each strain can affect people very differently.
Indica and Sativa strains do have one big difference. That is how and where they grow. Indica strains are shorter bushier plants with wide leaves. They grow better in colder climates due to a shorter growth cycle. Sativa strains are taller and have thinner stalks and leaves. They prefer warmer climates because of a longer growth cycle.
Which is Stronger Indica or Sativa?
The strength of the effects depends on four factors – cannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and a person’s own physiology. The potency levels of Indica and Sativa strains vary widely depending on the strain and how it was grown. Many people have started inquiring about the terpenes to gauge how a particular strain will affect them. Some people prefer higher terpene levels of Myrcene while others enjoy the feel of a stronger Limonene concentration. Deciding on whether an Indica or a Sativa strain is stronger is a personal opinion. Trying both is the only way for someone to decide.
What is the Banana Kush Strain?
The Banana Kush strain is made of the stuff of legend, literally. It is an Indica-dominant hybrid that was bred by crossing OG Kush and Skunk Haze. It is highly sought-after for its intense, clear-headed effects. It has a fairly high THCa potency of 20% – 25%. Many report this strain to be very uplifting and can reduce anxiety and depression. The dominant terpenes in the strain are Limonene, Myrcene, and Beta-Caryophyllene. The Banana Kush strain is said to have a long-lasting happy and energizing euphoric effect that many enjoy throughout the day or right before bed.
What are Terpenes?
Terpenes are organic compounds that give many organisms their aroma. This includes plants, some animals, and even a few insects. Cedar trees, roses, apples, and bananas all have multiple terpenes contributing to the smell. Studies have indicated that terpenes contribute to the body’s homeostasis. They work together to boost the benefits of the cannabis plant. There are a dozen prominent terpenes in cannabis, but the three most prevalent are Myrcene, Linalool, and Alpha-Pinene.
What is Limonene?
Limonene has a very strong citrus aroma. This lemony citrusy scent excites a lot of consumers, and it is said to be a favorite of many. Besides being in several strains of cannabis, this terpene is also found in mint, juniper, and citrus fruits. This delicious terpene is found in the Sex Panther strain, Banana Kush strain, and the Mac 1 strain.
What are the Benefits of Limonene?
Intense relaxation and lethargy are reported by many after consuming flower with Limonene. Others have said they felt an instant reduction in nausea. Research has shown limonene can help as an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
What is Myrcene?
Myrcene excites the nose with an earthy, fruity, and clove-like aroma. Myrcene is the most abundant monoterpene in cannabis, but it is also found in hops, mango, lemongrass, and thyme. This delicious terpene is found in the Gold Cash strain, Blue Dream strain, and Granddaddy Purple strain.
What are the Benefits of Myrcene?
Anecdotal evidence suggests that Myrcene is extremely relaxing. This has helped reduce stress and anxiety at the end of the day before going to bed. Research has shown Myrcene also helps reduce inflammation while enhancing sleep.
What is Beta-Caryophyllene?
Beta-caryophyllene enlivens the senses with a sweet clove and wood smell that has a hint of pepper. It is found in oregano, basil, and pepper. This amazing terpene is found in the Skywalker strain, Sex Panther strain, and Ice Cream Cookies strain.
What are the Benefits of Beta-Caryophyllene?
Many consumers report an uplifted and talkative mood state after enjoying beta-caryophyllene. This helps many engage in social settings where they usually wouldn’t. Studies have shown that beta-caryophyllene can also relieve pain while reducing cholesterol.
What are Flavonoids?
Flavonoids play an important role in the color and appearance of plants. The root word for flavonoids is flavus, which means “yellow.” Scientists chose flavonoids because yellow is the most abundant hue. These organic compounds contribute to the aroma and taste of plants. A difference in flavonoid profiles can be the reason why two strains have identical terpene profiles, but different aromas and effects.
Flavonoids are polyphenolic compounds that exist throughout the plant kingdom. There are 6,000 different flavonoids identified. They serve as secondary metabolites and are the most prevalent nutrients in the plant world. Researchers determined flavonoids play an important role in cell cycle progression, helping with seed development and growth processes. They also support defense mechanisms by boosting resistance to bacteria, fungi, insects, and UV rays.
