Banana Bread
Also known as: Banana Bread strain
Overview
Banana Bread is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created through crossing Purple Kush and Vietnamese Black, developed by Holy Smoke Seeds. This distinctive cultivar emerged during the 2010s wave of dessert-forward genetics that prioritized terpene richness alongside potency. The strain is renowned for its remarkably authentic banana bread aroma and flavor profile, featuring sweet banana notes complemented by nutty, toasted undertones that truly evoke fresh-baked banana bread. The buds showcase striking visual characteristics, ranging in color from vibrant green to deep purple, sometimes almost black, and are densely covered in trichomes that reflect the strain's high-quality genetics. The strain's balanced 50/50 indica-to-sativa ratio delivers a well-rounded experience that combines the relaxing properties of Purple Kush with the uplifting qualities of Vietnamese Black, making it suitable for both recreational and medicinal users seeking a flavorful cannabis experience.

Growing Information
Banana Bread is praised for its ease of cultivation, exhibiting performance that thrives in most environments with balanced genetics making it resilient for cultivation. The strain flowers in approximately 8-10 weeks and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should maintain optimal temperature and humidity levels with good air circulation to prevent mold and mildew, requiring ample light, regular pruning, and nutrient-rich soil. Outdoor cultivation performs best in warm, sunny climates like the Mediterranean, requiring well-draining soil and plenty of direct sunlight. With proper care, the strain produces dense, trichome-coated buds that reflect its high-quality genetics. The strain requires careful attention to drying and curing protocols to preserve its distinctive banana bread aroma, as rapid drying or high heat can volatilize the monoterpenes that define its dessert character.
