Motornana Weed
Motorbreath × Banana OG × Strawberry Banana
Motornana is a contemporary indica-dominant hybrid celebrated for its distinctive fusion of potent "gas" notes and sweet banana flavors. This strain is sought after for its robust aroma, dense resin production, and significant THC content, positioning it as a premium option in modern cannabis markets.
Appearance
Motornana typically yields dense, medium-sized buds that feel substantial. The flowers are characterized by tightly stacked calyxes and are coated in a thick layer of trichomes, giving them a frosted or sugared appearance. Bud colors can range from light green to deep forest green, sometimes displaying purple hues, with contrasting orange or amber pistils.
Properly trimmed, the buds showcase sharp, crystalline edges and a visually appealing, premium look. The abundant resin production makes them particularly attractive for extraction processes, and their visual appeal is further enhanced by the way the trichomes catch light and the intensity of their aroma.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Motornana is a complex blend, initially presenting strong diesel and solvent-like fuel notes, characteristic of its Motorbreath lineage. These are quickly followed by distinct notes of ripe banana candy and tropical cream. Underlying scents can include earthy pine and a subtle hint of vanilla or biscuit.
Upon breaking apart the bud, a more pronounced banana ester aroma emerges, reminiscent of banana bread batter or banana runts, while the fuel-like gas component persists. The flavor profile mirrors this complexity, with initial diesel notes on the palate, transitioning to a sweet banana-cream mid-palate, and finishing with peppery spice and OG earthiness. The mouthfeel is often described as medium-plus, with a resinous oil coating the tongue.
Effects
Motornana is generally reported to produce a calming and relaxing experience, often accompanied by a sense of focus. Its indica-dominant nature suggests a primarily sedating effect, which may be beneficial for unwinding and achieving a state of tranquility.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile of Motornana often implies the presence of Myrcene and Limonene, contributing to its fruity and broad aromatic qualities. Caryophyllene and Humulene may add spicy and dry undertones, while Pinene can introduce fresh pine and eucalyptus notes. This combination creates its signature banana-gas bouquet.
Cannabinoid analysis typically shows Motornana to be a high-THC strain, with THC levels frequently ranging from 20% to 28%, and some batches reaching even higher. CBD content is generally very low, usually below 1%, with trace amounts of CBG sometimes present. THCa is the dominant acidic cannabinoid, converting to active THC upon decarboxylation.
Origins & Lineage
Motornana is a modern craft strain developed by combining the dominant flavor families of motor-fuel OG/Chem funk and banana-driven sweetness. Its lineage typically involves crosses between strains like Motorbreath (itself from Chem D and SFV OG) and either Banana OG or Strawberry Banana (Strawnana).
The genetic intent is to merge the potency and distinct diesel aroma of Motorbreath with the sweet, tropical fruit esters found in banana-type parents. This hybridization aims to create a compelling sensory experience that broadens consumer appeal, offering both power and a novel dessert-like fragrance.
Growing
Motornana plants often exhibit hybrid vigor, with medium internodal spacing and broad leaflets during the vegetative stage. In bloom, they tend to develop dense, golf-ball to spear-shaped colas. Stretch after the light flip is typically moderate, around 1.5x to 2.0x. The flowering period averages between 8 to 10 weeks, with many growers selecting phenos that finish around 63-67 days.
Growers frequently favor phenotypes that produce heavy resin and minimal foxtailing under controlled conditions. While phenotypic variability can occur, especially in seed runs, breeder cuts or S1s can improve uniformity. The strain is noted for its dense, resin-heavy flowers that contribute to its bag appeal and suitability for extraction.
