🍌⛽ Banana Diesel THCA Seeds – East Coast Sour Diesel (ECSD) x Banana Spliff by Shoreline Genetics
Banana Diesel is a Shoreline Genetics release created by combining the legendary East Coast Sour Diesel (ECSD) and the incredibly tasty Banana Spliff.
Sold in 10 packs of regular seeds and classified as a Type 1 high-THCA variety, the genetics contained and expressions to-be-found are certainly some for the books. Let's dive deeper into the lineage and breeders behind the powerhouse-parents.
🗽 East Coast Sour Diesel (ECSD): the diesel side of Banana Diesel
East Coast Sour Diesel, as well as the rest of the Sour Diesels, are legendary in their own right, whose lineages are discussed even more thoroughly in this article about East Coast Sour Diesel BX - a Shoreline Genetics cultivar. In short, ECSD is Sour Diesel V3, an inbred and backcrossed version of Sour Diesel. When you finish this article, it's worth diving into that one if you haven't.
For Banana Diesel, this is where that Diesel dank comes from.
🍌 Banana Spliff: the banana in Banana Diesel
Bred by Bodhi Seeds, Banana Spliff is a cross between Banana OG x Wookie 15.
Let's go even further into the Banana OG and Wookie 15.
🍌👻Banana OG: where the banana in Banana Diesel actually starts
Bred by OrgnKid, Banana OG is a famous cross involving his OG Kush (Ghost OG) female and a Sagarmatha 60/40 Banana Phenotype as the male.
Thought to have been found in a bag of seeds OrgnKid purchased at auction on Seed Bay (from Gypsy Nirvana?), the heavy banana phenotype of Sagarmatha 60/40 more than likely refers to a bulk batch of seeds sold by Sagarmatha Seeds that was 60% indica and 40% sativa, and unnamed.
about 7 or 8 years ago I asked Tony of Sagarmatha seeds if he had anything I could buy in bulk to give away as 'freebies'.......since he was selling quite a few seedlines at the time that had particular names and were going for certain prices, he said that he would sell me about half a kilo of various seeds that were only named as to their indica/sativa hybrid percentages and not as to what actual Sagarmatha varieties they were since this could upset other vendors who were selling Sagarmatha seeds......the 60/40 was one of the 'un-named' varieties that Tony sold me........and mostly they were given away.....
A later Sagarmatha 60/40 discussion repeats the same origin story more specifically, recalling that OrgnKid used a Ghost OG cut and a Sagarmatha 60/40 male to make Banana OG.
As far as whether it was a Ghost OG or OG Kush female, the answer seems to be phenotypic in nature. While some growers debate the physical differences between each cut, one user on OverGrow.com who goes by "sober" posted this screenshot from Josh D (OG Kush Story) explaining they are in fact, the same.
🐻 Wookie 15: a Bodhi Seeds cross
As for the second half of Banana Spliff, enter Wookie 15.
As noted by SeedFinder, Wookie is a mostly-indica cross from Bodhi Seeds, made from Big Buddy’s Lavender and Appalachia.
Packed with lavender and grapefruit expressions, the #15 Wookie is thought to be the male version of the #7 selection, according to this post on OverGrow.
🌄 What about Appalachia?
Appalachia is widely identified in history as Green Crack x Tres Dawg, made by breeder High and Lonesome.
You can imagine the heavy chem from Tres Dawg mixed with the sweet overripe mangos from the Green Crack, blended ever-so perfectly.
Now take that and add in some Lavender (Big Buddy's cut) and we're back to Wookie 15. Add that to Banana OG and we have Banana Spliff. Cross that some Sour Diesel from the East Coast (ECSD) and we're...
🍌⛽ Back to Banana Diesel - a History of Hitters
Once the tree is followed all the way down, it's easy to see what you can expect from Banana Diesel by Shoreline Genetics.
Heavy sour diesel from the ECSD, paired expertly with the candy banana creaminess from the Banana Spliff, powered by Banana OG gas and chemical fruits from the Chemdawg Green Crack families. Smoothed out with hints of lavender from the Wookie 15, finding unique terpene-rich profiles should be easy work.
Banana Diesel is sold as a 10-seed regular pack Type 1 high-THCA release, and can be purchased here at TexanHemp.com.
