Sour Banana Sherbet

Hybrid 50/50 — THC 18–24% — CBD 0–1%

Sour Banana Sherbet is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain created through crossing the tangy AJ's Sour Diesel with the sugary sweet Banana Sherbet. Thanks to the influx of Sour D, this beauty of a bud brings on the mouth-puckering banana flavor with a rich diesel exhale to balance it out.

The smell is pretty sour in itself, although it does have a heavy diesel pungency to it that can overpower the fruitiness at times.
