Banana Butter Pie
Also known as: Banana Buttercup Pie
Banana Butter Pie Strain Overview
Banana Butter Pie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Banana OG with Peanut Butter Breath. This strain emerged in the late 2010s as breeders sought to combine the tropical fruit characteristics of Banana OG with the rich, nutty undertones of Peanut Butter Breath. The resulting cultivar has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical patients for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, indica-dominant structure. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes that give the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The buds are known for their sticky resin production and emit a strong aroma even before grinding.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that delivers both sweet and savory notes, making it stand out among dessert-themed strains. The name accurately reflects its sensory characteristics, with clear banana and buttery pastry notes that distinguish it from other banana-flavored varieties. The strain's balanced genetic heritage provides effects that combine physical relaxation with mental clarity, making it suitable for various times of day.

Banana Butter Pie Strain Growing Information
Banana Butter Pie is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by early to mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 14-16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 3-4 feet indoors and 4-6 feet outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure and implementing training techniques like topping or LST (low-stress training) to maximize light penetration and yield. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual flush before harvest to enhance flavor expression.
