Pest-Bane: AI Simulated Strain
Strain Review: Pest-Bane (Series E: The Resilience Group)
What happens when you breed Great White Shark x Lemon G? We had to know! Our AI-simulated cannabis breeding AKA The Neural Nursery was built to answer these types of questions!

Strain Name: Pest-Bane
Lineage: Great White Shark (Greenhouse Seeds Legacy) x Lemon G (The Original Ohio Cut)
Type: Indica Dominant Hybrid (70/30)
THC Content: 20% – 23%
Flowering Time: 60 – 65 Days
Yield Potential: Moderate (450g/m²)
🤖 The Origin Story (Architectural Intent)
Pest-Bane was engineered to act as a Biological Fortress. The Neural Engine analyzed the feeding habits of the two most common cannabis pests: Spider Mites (which pierce cells) and Aphids (which suck sap). To counter them, the algorithm focused on two defensive traits: Mechanical Armor and Chemical Deterrence.
By crossing Great White Shark (known for its incredibly thick, leathery leaves) with Lemon G (which produces extremely high levels of Limonene, a natural insect repellent), the system created a plant that is physically difficult to eat and tastes repulsive to insects. It is the first strain designed to lower your IPM (Integrated Pest Management) costs.
🚜 Grower's Field Notes
Difficulty: Easy Structure: Pest-Bane grows with a "shield wall." The fan leaves are unusually thick, dark, and glossy. If you rub a leaf between your fingers, it feels like plastic or leather rather than soft plant tissue.
The "Bite" Test: This thickened cuticle layer makes it nearly impossible for Spider Mites to pierce the cell wall. They will often colonize a neighboring plant and leave Pest-Bane entirely alone.
Resin Production: It produces a "sap-like" resin early in veg. This sticky coating acts as a flypaper for smaller pests like Thrips, trapping them before they can damage the plant.
Feeding: It is a robust feeder. The thick cell walls require high levels of Silica. We recommend supplementing Silica with every watering to maximize the "armor plating" effect.
👁️ Bag Appeal (Visuals)
Pest-Bane is a "White" strain. The buds are covered in a blizzard of trichomes (from the Great White Shark lineage). The contrast of the neon-white resin against the dark, glossy green leaves is striking. The buds are round, dense, and difficult to squeeze.
👃 The Palette (Terpenes)
Dominant Terpenes: Limonene, Alpha-Pinene, Eucalyptol.
The Nose: It smells like cleaning fluid. A very sharp, aggressive lemon scent mixed with industrial chemicals and pine sol. It is not a "sweet candy" lemon; it is a "sterilizing" lemon.
The Inhale: sharp and astringent. It wakes up the palate.
The Exhale: A bitter, citrus rind flavor that lingers.
⚡ The Effect (The High)
Pest-Bane delivers a "Sturdy" high.
Onset: Fast and physical.
The Peak: It offers a strong, narcotic body stone with a clear head. It feels "medicinal." It lacks the psychedelic edge of Haze strains, providing instead a reliable, consistent relaxation.
The Utility: A workhorse strain. Great for pain relief or relaxing after a day of labor. It is dependable, just like the plant's growth habits.
🏆 The Verdict
Pest-Bane is the Organic Grower's Ally. If you refuse to spray pesticides, or if you have a grow room that is prone to infestations, this strain fights back. It is not invincible—no plant is—but it will be the last one standing when the bugs attack.
