Ambrosia Protocol: AI Bred Strain Review
Strain Review: Ambrosia Protocol (Series B: The Sensory Group)
What happens when you breed Banana OG x Papaya? We had to know! Our AI-simulated cannabis breeding AKA The Neural Nursery was built to answer these types of questions!
🧬 Genetic Profile
Designation: Neural-B11
Strain Name: Ambrosia Protocol
Type: Indica Dominant Hybrid (70/30)
THC Content: 22% – 25%
Flowering Time: 58 – 63 Days
Yield Potential: Moderate (450g/m²)
🤖 The Origin Story (Architectural Intent)
Ambrosia Protocol was designed with one specific outcome in mind: Solventless Extraction (Hash Rosin). The Neural Engine analyzed the lipid content and trichome head size of the entire genetic library. It identified that Papaya possesses a unique "grease" trait (high lipid stability) and Banana OG possesses a massive trichome head size (micron size 120u–150u).
By fusing these two, the algorithm aimed to create a strain that doesn't just smell like fruit, but "dumps" resin in an ice water wash. The target was a "Fruit Salad" terpene profile that mimics the smell of over-ripe, fermenting tropical fruit—a profile that translates perfectly into Rosin without losing flavor during the heat press.
🚜 Grower's Field Notes
Difficulty: Easy / Intermediate Structure: This is a squat, wide plant. It grows more like a bush than a tree. The internodal spacing is tight, meaning you get long, continuous "spears" of bud rather than separate golf balls.
Defoliation: Heavy defoliation is required. The fan leaves are massive (Indica traits) and will shade out the lower bud sites if not stripped at Day 1 and Day 21 of flower.
The "Grease" Warning: By Week 6, the plants will look wet. If you touch a bud, your fingers will be instantly coated in a sticky, oily resin that requires alcohol to remove. This is a good sign for hash makers, but it makes trimming by hand a nightmare. Scissors gum up after 3 buds.
Harvest Timing: Harvest earlier than usual for washing (Day 56–58). You want the trichome heads to be milky and firm, not amber and degrading, to ensure the lightest color Rosin.
👁️ Bag Appeal (Visuals)
Ambrosia Protocol is a "Blonde" strain. The buds are a very pale, pastel green, covered in peach-colored pistils. The trichome coverage is so heavy that the buds look almost dusty or velvety. It doesn't have the dark purples of Void Berry; it looks like golden sand.
👃 The Palette (Terpenes)
Dominant Terpenes: Limonene, Myrcene, Beta-Caryophyllene.
The Nose: It smells like a Smoothie Shop next to a dumpster. It has that distinct, heavy sweetness of fruit that is just starting to rot. Notes of brown banana, fermented mango, and funky papaya dominate. It is thick, heavy, and humid.
The Inhale: Incredible smoothness. It tastes exactly like a Banana Runt candy mixed with fresh melon.
The Exhale: Creamy and sweet, leaving a coating on the roof of the mouth that feels oily.
⚡ The Effect (The High)
Ambrosia Protocol is "Vacation Mode."
Onset: Gentle and euphoric. It starts with a smile.
The Peak: This is a heavy relaxation strain, but it isn't narcotic like Vapor-Lock. It feels like laying in a hammock. You are physically relaxed, mentally happy, and generally content with the world. It is excellent for stress relief.
The Utility: The perfect strain for a Sunday afternoon BBQ, a beach day, or winding down after work without falling asleep immediately.
🏆 The Verdict
Ambrosia Protocol is the Hash Maker's Dream. If you smoke flower, it is delicious. But if you own a freeze dryer and a rosin press, this is the most valuable seed in your collection. It offers returns of 5–6% in the wash, and the resulting Rosin captures that elusive "Rotten Fruit" terpene profile that connoisseurs pay top dollar for.
