Ban Ham OG
Also known as: Ban Ham, BanHam OG
Ban Ham OG Strain Overview
Ban Ham OG is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the West Coast cannabis scene, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure. The strain is believed to be a cross between Banana OG and an unknown OG Kush phenotype, resulting in a hybrid that leans slightly toward indica effects. Its name references both its banana lineage and the distinctive cured meat or savory notes that some users detect in its aroma profile, creating an unusual combination of sweet and savory terpenes.
The strain's appearance typically features dense, chunky buds with a forest green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are known for their sticky resin production and medium to large size, with a structure that reflects its OG Kush heritage. The aroma profile is complex, blending sweet tropical fruit notes from its Banana OG parent with the earthy, piney undertones characteristic of OG Kush varieties, along with a distinctive savory element that some describe as reminiscent of cured ham or spices.
Ban Ham OG has gained a cult following among cannabis connoisseurs who appreciate its unique terpene profile and balanced effects. While not as widely available as mainstream commercial strains, it has developed a reputation within certain cannabis communities for its distinctive characteristics. The strain's rarity means that information about it is primarily based on user reports and limited cultivation documentation rather than extensive scientific analysis or widespread commercial production.

Ban Ham OG Strain Growing Information
Ban Ham OG is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve 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. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures.
Indoor yields are moderate, averaging around 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant. The plants tend to be medium in height with a bushy structure, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation with proper training techniques. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible to moisture-related issues. Regular pruning and training (such as topping or LST) can help improve light penetration and air circulation throughout the canopy.
