DNA Genetics New Recon 2.0 & More Strains

The Latest Strains from DNA Genetics: A Journey into Recon 2.0, The Stinking Rose, Gaz Money, and Bruised Banana

DNA Genetics has long been considered as elite breeders. They have operated their business in the Cannabis Mecca of Amsterdam since the early 2000s. They have produced countless heaters, winning many awards for cultivars such as Kosher Kush, Skywalker Kush, and 24K Gold. Their genetics took the world by storm time and time again; they've since moved back to California, another Cannabis Mecca, and their genetic prowess shows no sign of slowing down, with several killer new hybrids hitting the market. Their older flagship genetics have withstood the test of time, too.

Their latest releases result from Recon 2.0, The Stinking Rose, Gaz Money, and Bruised Banana, which stand true as the latest editions of their vast breeding skills while bringing something new to the community. Throughout this article, we will explore the genetics of the four latest hybrids that have entered the DNA Genetics universe and what sets them apart in the cannabis genetic world.

 Recon 2.0: A Modern Take on a Classic Strain

The Original Recon

For a long time, Recon was an absolute staple cornerstone of the DNA Genetics library and was extremely popular, leading it to be sought-after by many collectors. It was still super desired once the strain left the catalogue, leading to this 2.0 iteration. Recon is a crazy high yielder made by crossing the LA Confidential, an award-winning strain known for its 80% dominant Indica lineage with powerful traits, with Cannadential. This hybrid blends Cannalope Haze and LA Confidential. This genetic cross gave birth to a strain rich in flavour and effects, with the earthy pine notes of LA Confidential making a unique medley with the fruitier, more tropical notes of Cannadential.

The original Recon was celebrated for its powerful, relaxing traits. It was also considered a complete knockout strain, which makes it useful for countless occasions and different types of consumers.

Recon 2.0: Evolving a Fan Favorite

Thankfully, DNA Genetics recognised the need for a revival of the Recon strain, and they stayed true to the original genetics by keeping it as a cross of L.A Confidential and Cannadential. The Recon 2.0 has far more deeply defined earth, pine and sensational floral notes balanced by the intensity of relaxing traits. Recon 2.0 is a seriously heavy hitter, with a heavy indica forward array of effects and therapeutic benefits. Despite these defined effects, she's a true flavour chasers' delight with layers of spicy sweetness and delectable pinene-fuelled aromas that get more complex as you hit her. Recon 2.0 is stacked to the ceiling with mindbending potency that helps you to relax after a long day, so be sure not to miss out on the chance to grab the new and improved Recon 2.0.

The Stinking Rose: A Garlic and Strawberry Banana Fusion

DNA Genetics is no stranger to combining unlikely flavours and creating magic, and The Stinking Rose is no exception. This strain combines the best flavour profiles by crossing the famed Strawberry Banana (from Crockett Family Farms) with Sour Garlic. The result is a unique, flavorful, sweet, sour, and savoury hybrid.

Crockett Family Farms bred Strawberry Banana and quickly reached infamy for its exotic, sweet, fruity flavour. It is one of the most popular strains in the modern cannabis landscape. Its parentage includes Banana Kush and the Strawberry phenotype of Bubble Gum, creating a strain that offers uplifting effects and a rich, tropical flavour profile. On the other side of the genetic spectrum, Sour Garlic brings a more intense, savoury flavour with its garlic-like aroma and strong Indica effects. Sour Garlic is undoubtedly based on the GMO lineage, which is known for being an ultra-potent strain with devastating effects that help to enhance one's ability to tackle stress and anxiety.

The Stinking Rose strain merges these two opposite ends of the flavour spectrum, creating a complex, multi-layered strain that appeals to a far-reaching array of cannabis users. When consumed, the Stinking Rose gets seriously complex. The inhale begins with sweet, fruity notes stemming from the Strawberry Banana lineage, but quickly, this deepens into intense savoury, garlic-infused flavours from the Sour Garlic. The combination is surprising yet delicious, offering a unique experience for those who enjoy fruity and earthy flavours or want a unique smoking experience.

The Stinking Rose has an array of potential effects depending on how the phenotype leans; both ends of the spectrum are possible, but there is a higher percentage of relaxing traits to be found. Regardless, it is an exceptional choice for those looking to socialise, create, or unwind after a long day.

Gaz Money: Runtz Meets DNA Genetics' RP 43'

Gaz Money is a strain that combines two powerhouse genetics: the much-hyped Runtz and DNA Genetics' own RP 43'. This cross results in a rich flavour strain that is potent in effects and highly sought after for its ability to deliver cerebral and physical relaxation.

Runtz has taken the cannabis world by storm in recent years thanks to its lovely, candy-like flavour and solid and euphoric effects. Runtz is supposedly a hybrid of Zkittlez and Gelato #33, although some claim other origins, such as a Gelato #33 bag seed or Sunset Sherb. One thing is for sure: Runtz is known for its sugary sweetness, balanced high, and beautiful buds that come in a vast array of different hues, from deep purple to bright green. Many consumers see the appeal of Runtz and report that its allure comes from its unique candy flavour and ability to offer a relaxing and uplifting high; Runtz is an excellent choice for all-day use.

RP 43', on the other hand, adds the signature DNA Genetics twist, with its genetics being unique and unknown. RP 43' is best known for its resin production and ability to produce dense, sticky buds ideal for concentrate production. It is also available as an S1.

Gaz Money 

Gaz Money combines these two elite hybrids, with the net result being a hybrid that provides the best of both worlds. The sweetness of Runtz is still present in Gaz Money, but it's tempered by the more earthy, skunky tones of RP 43 ', resulting in a flavour profile that's both sweet and complex. Gaz Money's effects are similarly balanced, offering a heady, euphoric high that eventually mellows into a relaxed, body-focused experience.

Bruised Banana: A Fusion of Purple Chocolope and Honey Banana

The final strain in DNA Genetics' new drop is Bruised Banana, a cross between Purple Chocolope and Honey Banana. This strain combines two beloved strains to create something truly unusual in todays market both in terms of flavour and effects.

Purple Chocolope is a striking strain that combines the visual appeal of purple-tinged buds with the uplifting, energising effects of Chocolope, a Sativa-dominant hybrid known for its chocolate and coffee-like flavour profile. Purple Chocolope adds some grape and berry notes while keeping the energising, cerebral effects that make Chocolope so popular.

On the other hand, Honey Banana is a sweet, tropical strain that delivers a more relaxing, Indica-like effect. Its rich honey and banana flavour makes it a fan favourite for those who enjoy a dessert-like strain with a potent relaxing high.

Bruised Banana combines these two flavour powerhouses, resulting in a fruity, sweet, slightly chocolatey strain with a hint of grape and berry from the Purple Chocolope parent. The effects are balanced, leaning towards relaxation but offering enough cerebral uplift to keep users engaged and alert. Bruised Banana will be a stellar option for consumers looking for an uplifting sativa-dominant hybrid for days out and more.
