Growing Tips for Banana Kush Auto
Banana Kush Auto seeds are not the ideal cultivation option for beginner growers, but because they are autoflowering, they tend to be easier to grow than the original Banana Kush strain. While this hybrid, which is resistant to common diseases, pests, and mold, can thrive indoors and out, experienced cultivators recommend growing it inside where possible to control its growing environment and ensure that it gets plenty of light via artificial grow lamps. However, if you prefer to grow your Banana Kush Auto plants outside, then know that they require a warm and sunny environment where they’re able to get plenty of exposure to the light. No matter where you cultivate the near-evenly-balanced Indica-dominant strain, you will need to trim it regularly in order for its longer-growing branches to get all the light and air circulation they require. Maintaining the correct temperature and lighting is incredibly important for these plants to reach their peak potential. If you want to reap the rewards of large yields of high THC buds, then you are going to need to follow a few simple rules. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Humidity levels of approximately 50% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 40% during the flowering stage, will ensure a healthy grow. Low-Stress Training (LST), pruning, and trimming are the best methods of training for these plants. Because these plants grow bushy, they will require maintenance to ensure that they don’t grow out of control. Banana Kush Auto plants require an 18-20 hour light cycle. These plants do not require a change in the light cycle to induce the flowering stage of growth. They will change to flowering all on their own.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Banana Kush Auto strain to harvest after a flowering period of 50-60 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 600 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. Banana Kush Auto tends to grow better indoors than it does outdoors. However, both yields are fantastic, and Banana Kush Auto is a little easier to grow than the original Banana Kush marijuana strain.
- Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the end of September, depending on when you planted your seeds.
Banana Kush Auto: Earthy, Sweet & Tropical
The Banana Kush Auto terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells and tastes, and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while myrcene and limonene are the secondary terpenes.
- Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – The “spicy and peppery” terpene. Found in cinnamon, cloves, black pepper, and cannabis.
- Myrcene: Secondary Terpene – Myrcene can be found in a number of cannabis strains and provides the herb with an earthy and woody flavor and aroma.
- Limonene: Citrus Fruits – Limonene can be found in abundance in the rinds of citrus fruits and in cannabis plants. This terpene helps decrease anxiety and improve lung function.
The feedback I’m getting from friends about my harvest is incredible! They can’t believe how good it is!
This strain provides a beautifully relaxing high that softly relaxes both the body and mind.
These seeds produced plants that were resilient and hardy, with strong stems and healthy foliage. They definitely lived up to their reputation.
These flowers are more powerful than the others. The strong high from the THC makes the experience stronger. The pharmacy works well and can be relied on.
This was my first time trying autoflowering seeds and OMG, they are so worth it. I always heard they were easy to grow, but I was still a little skeptical. However, they were perfect. They automatically transitioned from the vegetative to the flowering stage without having to switch the light cycles. It isn’t a photoperiod strain, so it doesn’t need a certain amount of hours of light. Plus, it was ready for harvest in about 9 weeks and the yield was mighty. Banana Kush exceeded everything!
I recently tried Banana Kush Autoflowering Seeds and I must say, the distinct aroma of bananas was a pleasant surprise. Not only did it uplift my mood and boost my creativity, but it also provided a calming relaxation that helped me manage stress.
The taste and smell of this strain are amazing, with sweet and tropical notes. The high is euphoric and relaxing, perfect for winding down after a long day. I had no issues with germination and the plants grew easily. Overall, a great purchase from Pacific Seed Bank with fast shipping and helpful customer service.
Such good weed for the money! I’ve been growing my own for the last year and I’m still delighted as the first time when I get a whole lot of bud for a small investment of a few seeds. Banana Kush is easy to grow and I really REALLY like the high. I’m a stone sculptor, and this stuff gets me in the creative zone like nothing else. After smoking this weed I can work for hours. Love it!
Easy to grow and very satisfying yield! You get a lot of weed for your money which is how I like it. Ever seed I ordered germinated so fast and flowered in only 51 days. Textbook grow with no problems. Lots of fantastic weed that was heavy, potent and one of my favorites to smoke. Really good flavor, too. Definitely ordering again.
