Havana Bandana

Havana Bandana – James Loud Seeds

Havana Bandana Regular by James Loud is a mostly sativa strain, a cross between the varieties GMO and Banana Z, combining intense banana aromas with the unusually spicy and powerful scent notes of GMO genetics. The mother line, GMO, brings its characteristic Chem D aromas, a robust plant structure and distinctive notes of garlic, funk and burnt rubber to this combination. With Banana Z, a second parent line is introduced, enriching the aroma profile with pronounced tropical sweetness. Depending on the phenotype, the banana aroma ranges from sweet banana candy and dried banana chips to green plantains. Fresh citrus accents complement the unusual combination of fruity sweetness, spicy garlic and powerful, slightly rubbery scent notes.

Havana Bandana typically develops tall, vigorous plants with a robust growth structure. The strain inherits its pronounced vigor from the GMO line, while Banana Z contributes to a partially more open structure. According to James Loud, the flowering time is approximately 70 days. Due to its considerable height, sufficient space should be planned. James Loud particularly recommends this strain for advanced growers who already have some experience caring for larger cannabis plants. Particularly characteristic is the interplay of banana, banana chips, sweet banana candy and spicy GMO aromas, complemented by garlic, citrus fruits, funk and notes of burnt rubber.
