Growing Information
Banana Cream OG is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. The flowering time ranges from 8-10 weeks (60-70 days) when grown indoors. Indoor yields typically produce around 300-400 grams per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can yield up to 550 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers warm, sunny climates with temperatures around 70-80°F and humidity levels maintained at 40-50% during vegetative growth, dropping to 40% during flowering to prevent mold and mildew. Plants tend to grow taller than average autoflowering varieties, so adequate vertical space is recommended. Training techniques like LST (Low Stress Training) and SCROG can help optimize yields and manage plant height. The strain shows good resistance to pests and diseases when grown in proper conditions, and harvest typically occurs in late September to early October for outdoor grows.
