Shake Back

Shake Back is a flavour-led Compound Genetics cross of Apples & Bananas and Black Amber, offered here as feminised seeds. It takes the crisp apple and soft banana sweetness of Apples & Bananas and layers it with Black Amber’s diesel, peppery spice and faint earthy garlic note. It’s a modern gassy-fruit profile rather than a simple sweet strain.

The headline cannabinoid figures are 26% THC and 0.1% CBD, with THC potential described as reaching the mid-20s and up to around 30% in standout phenotypes. The effect is reported as focused and euphoric at first, then more physically settled, with a relaxed body feel that shouldn’t be heavy couchlock for most seasoned tasters.

In the grow room, Shake Back shows vigorous, apical-dominant growth with medium-to-high stretch. Indoor flowering is given at 60–70 days, and yields are described as medium to high when nutrition and airflow are well managed. The flowers build dense and calyx-stacked, with lime-to-dark colouring, burnt-orange pistils and a heavy trichome coat.

Aroma-wise, expect a fruity opening and a gassy finish, with caryophyllene, myrcene and limonene noted as the dominant terpenes. Buds cure firm and sticky, with strong indoor density and resin coverage that Compound Genetics notes as favourable for solventless work. It’s a good fit for collectors drawn to loud jars, polished bag appeal and that orchard-meets-fuel style of modern cannabis breeding.
