Banana Daddy
Banana Daddy
Also known as: Banana Daddy R1
Overview
Banana Daddy is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by Ethos Genetics through crossing Granddaddy Purple with Banana Hammock R1. Ethos Genetics was founded in 2017 in Littleton, Colorado by Colin Gordon, who has been breeding cannabis since 1993 and whose genetics have won over 30 different cannabis cups. This strain can produce between 25-30% THC with a rich mix of skunky, fruity, and gassy aromas and flavors. Indicative of an indica-dominant hybrid, Banana Daddy is a medium-stature strain that produces vigorous plants with strong branches and relatively short internodes, dense stacks of tightly packed flowers that form heavy colas, and has a high tendency to turn purple, producing beautiful dark buds with a steely sheen of thick resin, red pistils, and a great calyx-to-leaf ratio.
The strain packs a sweet banana berry flavor that's accented by a touch of spicy bubblegum and diesel, while the aroma takes a heavier turn, with deep diesel and sweet fruity berries all wrapped up with a spicy overtone. According to dispensaries, Banana Daddy flowers are typically rich in myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, and valencene, giving the buds a strong aroma dominated by notes of tropical fruit and citric gas. The high hits almost as soon as you exhale, knocking away any negative or racing thoughts and leaving users giggly and lifted, unable to focus on much of anything but still able to carry on extended conversations with ease.

Growing Information
Banana Daddy is not especially difficult to cultivate, making it a good choice if you are a new or inexperienced grower. After 56-60 days of flowering, Banana Daddy plants are typically harvest-ready indoors, while outdoors, expect to harvest by mid-October. Yields are roughly 15-20 ounces per plant when grown outdoors or 1-2 ounces per square foot when grown indoors. The strain provides a medium to high yield, with plants having strong lateral branching and growing to a medium height. Banana Daddy is a good choice for shorter growing periods as it flowers more quickly than other strains. This versatile hybrid can be grown both indoors and outdoors, offering flexibility for growers with a moderate flowering time of 8-10 weeks.
