Banana Diesel
Also known as: Banana Sour Diesel, Banana D
Banana Diesel Strain Overview
Banana Diesel is a well-balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Banana Kush with Super Sour Diesel (or Sour Diesel). This strain combines the tropical sweetness of its Banana Kush parent with the sharp, fuel-like characteristics of its Diesel lineage. The strain was reportedly developed by Holy Smoke Seeds and has gained recognition for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. Banana Diesel typically expresses itself as either indica-dominant or sativa-dominant depending on the specific phenotype, with most sources reporting it as a relatively balanced hybrid with slight indica leanings. The buds are characterized by light green coloration with orange pistils and a heavy coating of resinous trichomes, giving them a frosty, sparkling appearance. The strain has gained particular popularity in California dispensaries and is noted for its distinctive aromatic profile that immediately announces its presence with sweet tropical banana notes followed by pungent diesel undertones.

Banana Diesel Strain Growing Information
Banana Diesel is considered moderately easy to grow, making it suitable for intermediate growers. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days) indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by early to mid-October. Indoor yields range from 450-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Plants grow to medium-tall heights (3-4 feet indoors, taller outdoors) and require adequate vertical space. The strain thrives in warm, sunny, semi-humid conditions similar to a California summer climate (68-77°F, 40-50% humidity during flowering). It responds well to LST (Low Stress Training) techniques and shows good resistance to common pests and molds. Plants prefer 18-20 hour light cycles during vegetative growth and benefit from heavy feeding with balanced NPK nutrients.
