Banana OG weed strain

Hybrid

Banana OG

4.8 (247 reviews)

Banana OG’s exact breeding history has a bit of debate baked into it, but most sources trace it to Crockett Family Farms, the same California breeders behind Tangie and several other terpene-forward lines. It’s a cross of OG Kush and a Banana phenotype closely related to Banana Kush.

About Banana OG Strain

Here’s a quick snapshot of the Banana OG strain:

  • Type: Hybrid (roughly 70% indica, 30% sativa)

  • THC Range: 23%–27%

  • Dominant Terpenes: Myrcene, Caryophyllene, and Limonene

  • Aroma: Overripe banana and tropical sweetness, with pine and earthy undertones

OG Kush supplies the strain’s structural backbone with dense, resinous flower, high THC output, and the earthy, fuel-like notes that run underneath. The Banana parent contributes the tropical, fruit-forward sweetness that sets it apart from a standard Kush. The smell leans distinctly toward ripe banana, with a faint spiced-cinnamon undertone, backed by a pine-and-earth base from its OG Kush lineage.

THC typically runs between 23% and 27%, with some cultivars testing higher. Looks-wise, Banana OG tends to produce light green, compact buds with brown pistils and a solid coating of trichomes, with flowers that grow into tight, resin-heavy colas typical of its Kush ancestry.

Banana OG Cultivation Notes

  • Genetics: A cross between Banana Kush and OG Kush, indica-dominant, moderately challenging to grow — best suited to growers with some experience given its dense, resin-heavy structure. Hytiva
  • Climate: Prefers a warm, dry climate outdoors (70-80°F / 21-27°C) with low humidity through flowering, in line with its OG Kush lineage. Indoors, sensitive to humidity swings late in flowering given the dense colas.
  • Growth pattern: Tends to express compact flowering architecture and resin density typical of Kush-leaning genetics, with dense, trichome-packed colas. Data from seed banks shows the genetics have maintained good stability across generations, and most Banana OG plants display vigorous vegetative growth. Strainpedia + 2
  • Flowering time: Around 8-9 weeks indoors, consistent with its OG Kush parentage; outdoor harvest typically early-to-mid October.
  • Yield: Moderate yields — comparable to other OG-lineage strains like GG4 and Chemdawg, with growers generally prioritizing potency and terpene expression over sheer volume.
  • Susceptibility: Dense, resin-coated buds are prone to mold/bud rot in humid conditions, so airflow management matters. Otherwise fairly resilient with attentive care.
  • Nutrients: Responds well to standard feeding schedules; some growers add extra phosphorus/potassium in flowering to support heavy resin production.
  • Training techniques: LST and topping help manage its compact, resin-heavy structure and improve light penetration; SCROG works well to even out the canopy.
