Also known as: Monkey Banana
Overview
Banana Monkey is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain developed by Bulk Seed Bank, resulting from crossing Banana OG and Purple Punch genetics. This 70% indica/30% sativa hybrid showcases the best characteristics of both parent strains, combining the tropical banana aromatics of Banana OG with the potent relaxing effects of Purple Punch. The strain was bred to produce dense, trichome-laden buds with exceptional resin production, making it particularly valued by hash makers and concentrate enthusiasts. Banana Monkey typically flowers within 8-9 weeks (approximately 60 days) and is known for producing moderate to high yields both indoors and outdoors. The strain exhibits robust growth characteristics with a manageable, flattened structure that responds well to SOG (Sea of Green) cultivation methods. Its buds are described as having beautiful tropical-looking nugs with multiple colors and a heavy coating of trichomes, giving them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The strain has gained recognition for its excellent calyx-to-leaf ratio and exceptional trichome production, making it highly sought after for extraction purposes.
