Apples and Banana Z
Also known as: Apples & Banana Z, Apples and Bananas Z
Apples and Banana Z Strain Overview
Apples and Banana Z is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by Compound Genetics, representing a more potent and refined version of the original Apples and Bananas strain. This cultivar was created through selective breeding to enhance specific characteristics, particularly its unique terpene profile and visual appeal. The strain's name reflects its distinctive aroma profile that combines fruity notes reminiscent of apples and bananas with a diesel-like undertone.
The strain is characterized by its striking visual appearance, featuring dense, resinous buds with deep purple and dark green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The trichome coverage is typically heavy, giving the buds a frosty, crystalline appearance. Apples and Banana Z has gained popularity in both recreational and medicinal cannabis markets for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
While specific historical documentation is limited, Apples and Banana Z emerged in the late 2010s as part of a trend toward high-THC, terpene-rich cultivars. It has become particularly notable in the premium cannabis market segments, often featured in cannabis competitions and exhibitions. The strain's development reflects contemporary breeding techniques focused on maximizing both cannabinoid content and terpene expression while maintaining genetic stability.

Apples and Banana Z Strain Growing Information
Apples and Banana Z is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience for optimal results. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors. Outdoor plants are usually ready for harvest in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under ideal conditions.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium in height, with indoor specimens reaching 100-150 cm and outdoor plants growing to 150-200 cm. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase to support bud development. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
