Overview
Banana Cream Pie is a hybrid cannabis strain developed primarily by Old School Genetics as a cross between Georgia Pie 'Seed Junky Cut' and Banana Ripple #17, with a genetic composition of 70% indica to 25% sativa. The strain emerged from a prestigious lineage, combining the highly sought-after Georgia Pie strain, specifically the breeder's cut developed by Seed Junky Genetics, with an exceptional selection from the Banana Ripple reversal project, also known as the Banoffee Pie line. Alternative versions exist from NorStar Genetics and other breeders, known for its potent indica-dominant effects and uniquely balanced profile that has quickly risen in popularity thanks to its delectable taste, aromatic complexity, and consistent performance.
The genius behind this creation, Oldman Green, selected the Georgia Pie for its unique peach candy aroma and flavor, resulting in a strain that offers a rich and enveloping taste experience where sweet banana nuances perfectly intertwine with pastry hints and a creamy backdrop, featuring creamy cake and banana notes with vanilla hints. The offspring of this meticulous selection process radiates with complex hues, signifying the strain's rich genetic heritage and impressive yield potential, producing flowers that are fully resinous from the lower parts to the central bud. The strain has captured the attention of both connoisseurs and medicinal patients, offering a well-rounded experience that merges flavor, potency, and a visually appealing profile, serving as an exemplary case of how meticulous breeding and genetic selection can yield a product that excels in both recreational and medicinal applications.

Growing Information
Banana Cream Pie has an indoor flowering time of 55-60 days (8-8.5 weeks) and completes flowering outdoors in late September to October. The strain exhibits vigorous vertical growth with a stretch factor of x3, which growers need to manage effectively to optimize space, though this stretching provides an opportunity to employ training techniques to enhance production and light exposure. Indoor yields range from 450-500g per m², while outdoor yields are high at over 500g per plant, and cultivation is described as easy and can be grown by all cannabis lovers without problems, presenting a moderate stretch that makes it very easy to control. During the growing stage, it presents a compact structure with good ramification, featuring very intense dark green leaves that can turn dark blue. The flowering stage is completed very quickly and the leaves, full of trichomes, make it an ideal candidate for top quality extractions.
