Growing Tips for Banana Kush
Banana Kush seeds are not the ideal cultivation option for beginner growers and are best reserved for intermediate-level to advanced growers. 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 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 plants require an 18-24-hour light cycle during the vegetative stage of growth. Changing the light cycle from 18-24 hours to 12/12 will induce the flowering stage and take your grow all the way to harvest.
Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest
- Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Banana Kush strain to harvest after a flowering period of 55-65 days.
- Yields: While Indoor yields are around 500 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 600 grams per plant. With hard work and determination, you can get to these massive yields. Hitting these numbers is well-deserved because Banana Kush is not an easy-to-grow strain of cannabis.
- Harvest: Outdoor grows should be ready to harvest around the end of September, depending on when you planted your seeds.
Banana Kush: Tropical Vibes
The Banana Kush 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.
I love the variety of strains available with these seeds! So many choices!
These seeds produced some of the most beautiful plants I have ever seen. The shipping was fast and the customer service was top-notch.
As the plants continued to grow, I couldn’t believe how healthy they looked. The leaves were vibrant and lush, and the buds were starting to form nicely.
The quality and strength are both top-notch. The dispensary has great goods and great customer service.
What a fantastic product! I’m loving the results from these seeds, great yield and taste!
This weed is fresh…like super fresh! I bought 10 seeds to start and was happy to see it ship out within days of ordering. It’s fast, like lightning fast. I usually am able to harvest around 400 G per 5 plants….and this stuff stays really fresh over the winter. Definitely a worthy buy, and good for beginners too, especially with that super addictive banana flavor!
Ready for a sweet, tropical taste? Banana Kush is the name that needs to be on your brain. It’s an indica-dominant hybrid that’s gonna make you euphoric and relaxed initially. Before long, you’ll feel that sleepiness creep up on you. That’s why I save this after a long day to help me unwind and get a good night’s rest.
I got real high off banana kush….the ultimate indica experience. This pot is great for smoking at night, it has a light banana flavor (similar to banana bread) and had a light indica energy that helps me wind down at the end of a long day.
Took me most of the summer to grow, and usually 1-2 waterings per week. Exceptional growth in month 2, a real growth spurt, then harvest was 1 week with lots of pruning and trimming. Great buy!
