Banana Haze
Banana Haze
Also known as: Antenna Banana Haze, Old School Genetics Banana Haze
Overview
Banana Haze is a predominantly sativa cannabis strain that represents a masterful fusion of classic Haze genetics with tropical banana-forward aromatics. This strain emerged as a targeted breeding project to combine the candy-like banana notes and creamy tropical sweetness of Banana-family genetics with the bright, cerebral effects of traditional Haze varieties. The strain showcases the evolution of modern cannabis breeding, merging time-tested sativa characteristics with innovative flavor profiles. Banana Haze exhibits small, dense cone-shaped buds with bright neon green coloration, sparse orange hairs, and a thick coating of frosty white crystal trichomes. The strain's resin-rich appearance sparkles under light, contributing to its appeal on both aesthetic and functional levels. Its complex terpene architecture centers around limonene, myrcene, caryophyllene, and terpinolene, creating a multifaceted aroma profile that balances sweet banana essence with citrus, herbs, pepper, and floral high-notes. Because Banana Haze is not standardized by a single breeder, exact specifications can vary by phenotype and seed line, though its consistent reputation for potency and flavor remains across different expressions.

Growing Information
Banana Haze can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 9-11 weeks (63-77 days), with some Haze-leaning phenotypes requiring up to 12 weeks. Indoor yields typically range from 450-600 g/m² in soil and 500-700 g/m² in hydroponic setups with CO2 enrichment. Outdoor cultivation in warm, dry climates can produce 500-900 grams per plant, with larger trained plants potentially exceeding 1 kg in long-season regions. The strain shows vigorous vegetative growth with medium internodal spacing and significant stretch during the flowering transition. It performs well in controlled indoor environments where temperature, humidity, and light intensity can be optimized for maximum resin and terpene production. Preventive integrated pest management is recommended due to the longer flowering windows in some phenotypes.
