Banana OG S1
Also known as: Banana OG, Banana OG Selfed
Banana OG S1 Strain Overview
Banana OG S1 is a stabilized self-fertilized version of the popular Banana OG strain, developed to preserve the original's desirable characteristics while increasing genetic consistency. The strain traces its origins to the original Banana OG, which itself is believed to be a cross between Ghost OG and a mysterious Banana Kush phenotype. The 'S1' designation indicates this is a first-generation selfed version, created by breeding a female Banana OG plant with itself through chemical reversal techniques, resulting in feminized seeds that closely resemble the parent plant.
The strain is characterized by its distinctive banana-like aroma with undertones of tropical fruit and earthy diesel notes. Banana OG S1 plants typically produce dense, resinous buds with a frosty trichome coverage that gives them a shimmering appearance. The nugs often display various shades of green with occasional purple hues and vibrant orange pistils. The strain's terpene profile is complex, featuring myrcene as the dominant terpene followed by limonene and caryophyllene, which contribute to its unique flavor and effects.
Banana OG S1 has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients for its balanced effects and reliable performance. The strain is known for producing consistent results across different phenotypes, making it a favorite among growers seeking predictable outcomes. While the exact genetic lineage beyond the original Banana OG cross remains somewhat uncertain due to the secretive nature of cannabis breeding in its early development, Banana OG S1 has established itself as a stable and reliable cultivar in the modern cannabis market.

Banana OG S1 Strain Growing Information
Banana OG S1 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants have a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest in late September to early October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Banana OG S1 responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and careful nutrient management as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. The strain prefers a stable environment with temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. During the flowering phase, the plants develop a strong aroma that requires adequate carbon filtration in indoor grows.
