Growing Tips for Apples and Bananas Seeds
Apples and Bananas is a medium-sized, hybrid strain known for its resilience toward fluctuating temperatures. Like many cannabis strains, it performs best in a closely-controlled environment, but because it can endure minor dips and spikes concerning heat and moisture, it serves as a practical choice for beginning growers. Below, we’ve provided effective ways to simplify and streamline the growing process.
Establish consistent conditions
Daytime temperatures of approximately 70-80 degrees Fahrenheit or approximately 21-27 degrees Celsius are ideal for Apples and Bananas plants. Humidity levels should fall between 40-50% during the vegetative stage, and drop to 40% during the flowering phase. A reduction in moisture helps eliminate the risk of mold while encouraging a more potent terpene profile.
Recommended Training Techniques
Low-stress Training, Topping, and Screen of Green (ScrOG) training techniques are best suited for this particular strain. These techniques require the grower to trim the non-producing parts of the plant while reinforcing the heavier branches and buds with screens or nets so the weight of the buds doesn’t compromise the integrity of the entire plant.
Fine-tune nutrient levels
All cannabis plants benefit from nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium (NPK). During vegetative growth, Apples and Bananas prefers greater amounts of nitrogen, as it promotes leaf and stem production. However, because nitrogen encourages leaf growth, it’s important to reduce levels during the flowering stage. This will allow your plants to channel their efforts towards resin-rich bud development instead. To lower nitrogen levels, try using a bloom formula or simply dilute your existing feed.

Yields, Flowering Times, and Harvest
The Apples and Bananas strain has a flowering period of approximately 55–65 days, with outdoor harvests typically occurring in early October. Indoor growers will produce up to 500 grams of trichome-rich buds under proper care, while outdoor growers may see yields of up to 700 grams per plant, so long as environmental conditions remain stable.
Dominant Terpenes in Apples and Bananas
Apples and Bananas’ spicy and gassy scent and diverse, fruity taste are due, in part, to dominant terpenes caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene. Caryophyllene is known for its peppery scent and taste with noticeable notes of spice. Myrcene contributes an earthy scent and taste and a physically relaxing vibe. Limonene is known for having a citrusy scent and flavor, and is most often found in the rinds of citrus fruits.
Dominant Cannabinoids in Apples and Bananas
Apples and Bananas THC content of 30% has helped grow its popularity since its inception in the early 2020s. A California-grown bud, Apples and Bananas is aptly named for its sweet apple and banana-esque flavor profile. Its gassy diesel scent is reminiscent of old-school bud, and its effects on the user are perfect for folks looking to expand their mind and weedheads that love a relaxing, chill buzz. Being a 50/50 hybrid, Apples and Bananas really offers the best of both worlds.
