 About 

Bossa Nova expresses a balanced hybrid morphology combining the dense, resin-rich inflorescences of Gastropop #5 with the aromatic complexity and tropical volatile production of Banana Z. The plants exhibit medium height with strong apical dominance, uniform lateral branching, and closely spaced internodes that promote compact cola development. Floral clusters are calyx-heavy and densely glandular, with frequent lavender to amber pigmentation during late anthesis, a sign of active anthocyanin and carotenoid biosynthesis.

 Growing Information 

The terpene composition is multifaceted, anchored by limonene, β-caryophyllene, and linalool, supported by myrcene, ocimene, and farnesene. This chemical matrix produces a volatile balance between fruit-ester brightness and resinous structural depth, characteristic of Z and Banana lineage hybrids. Minor contributions from humulene and nerolidol lend a faintly herbal or woody dimension, rounding the aromatic spectrum. 
 
The cannabinoid profile reflects a Type I chemotype, dominated by Δ⁹-tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) with measurable cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) and trace cannabichromenic acid (CBCA) fractions. The cultivar exhibits robust capitate-stalked trichome formation, suggesting high secretory activity in the glandular heads, and stable enzymatic function through the THCAS biosynthetic cascade.

 Notes & Experience 

Bossa Nova opens with bright banana-cream and sugared berry volatiles carried by dominant limonene and linalool, evolving into candied tropical fruit and soft resin on aeration. Beneath the fruit-forward top line, β-caryophyllene and humulene establish a woody-spice foundation, while farnesene and myrcene introduce subtle grape-banana esters and floral musk. The overall bouquet is lush, layered, and confectionary, with an aromatic persistence that reflects its Banana Z and Gastropop parentage.
