Super Fly
GMO Cookies × Banana OG
Super Fly is a modern indica hybrid recognized for its potent effects and complex aroma profile. It is celebrated for dense, resinous flowers and a notable THC content, making it a popular choice in both adult-use and medical markets.
Appearance
Super Fly typically yields dense, compact buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. The flowers often display shades of lime green to deep olive, sometimes with violet undertones, and are covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes. Its appearance is further enhanced by vibrant orange pistils.
The resin glands are notably abundant and long-stalked, a characteristic sought after for extraction purposes. Well-cultivated examples exhibit tight bud structure and minimal foxtailing, contributing to their premium visual appeal.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Super Fly is a complex interplay of savory and sweet notes. Initial scents often include pungent garlic and diesel, characteristic of its GMO lineage, layered with sweet banana, vanilla, and hints of lemon from its Banana OG influence. Nuanced undertones of earthiness and subtle floral notes can also be detected.
Upon consumption, the flavor profile mirrors the aroma, often starting with creamy banana and citrus notes, followed by a more pronounced garlic, pepper, and diesel taste. The exhale frequently brings back a lingering sweetness reminiscent of banana pudding or warm spices.
Effects
Super Fly is primarily known for its potent body relaxation and sedating effects. Consumers often report a deeply calming experience that can alleviate stress and promote tranquility.
The strain's indica dominance suggests it is best suited for evening use or for individuals seeking significant physical relaxation. Its effects are generally considered potent and long-lasting.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Super Fly typically tests between 20–28% THC and less than 1% CBD. Its terpene profile is complex, frequently featuring Myrcene, Limonene, and Caryophyllene as dominant compounds. Humulene and Linalool are also commonly present, contributing to the strain's unique aroma and effects.
Total terpene content generally ranges from 1.5–3.5%. The high resin production, indicated by dense trichome coverage, makes it a favored strain for concentrate and extract production.
Origins & Lineage
Super Fly is widely considered a contemporary hybrid resulting from a cross between GMO (also known as Garlic Cookies) and Banana OG. This genetic combination aims to merge the savory, pungent characteristics of GMO with the sweet, creamy profile of Banana OG.
GMO itself is a hybrid of Chemdog and GSC (Cookies), known for its potent aroma and high resin production. The Super Fly lineage leverages these traits to create a strain with a distinctive flavor and robust cannabinoid and terpene content.
Growing
Cultivating Super Fly typically results in a hybrid morphology that leans indica, though it can exhibit vigorous stretch inherited from its OG lineage. The strain is known for producing dense flowers with abundant trichomes, making it attractive for growers focused on resin production.
Flowering time is generally moderate, with some phenos finishing around 63–67 days. Managing cultivation conditions is important to optimize bud density and prevent issues like foxtailing, especially under high-intensity lighting.
