Banana Pudding
Also known as: Banana Puddintain
Overview
Banana Pudding is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (70% indica/30% sativa) originally bred by Dying Breed Seeds from Mendocino, California. The strain is created through crossing Girl Scout Cookies and Banana OG, though some sources indicate a lineage of Banana OG × OG Eddy. This dessert-forward cultivar has gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its exceptional flavor profile and potent effects, with THC levels consistently reaching 30-31%. The strain belongs to the modern dessert-hybrid family and has become popular in mature cannabis markets since 2021, often positioned alongside other confectionary cultivars.
Banana Pudding is celebrated for its dense, resinous flowers that translate the nostalgic banana-vanilla profile into a premium cannabis experience. The strain exhibits small, grape-shaped nugs with a minty green coloration, accented by thin orange pistils and covered in a thick coating of frosty white crystal trichomes. Its appearance reflects both the quality of cultivation and the strain's notable potency, making it sought after by experienced users who appreciate both flavor and strong effects.

Growing Information
Banana Pudding can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with moderate difficulty. The strain typically requires a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days), with most phenotypes finishing optimally between day 60 and day 67. Outdoor harvest in the Northern Hemisphere usually occurs from late September to mid-October depending on local climate and phenotype maturity. The plants are compact and reach medium height (100-130 cm indoors, 130-200 cm outdoors), making them suitable for various cultivation methods including SOG (Sea of Green) and SCROG (Screen of Green). Expected yields are moderate to high with proper environmental management. The strain performs well in warm, dry climates when grown outdoors, though careful attention to humidity and mold prevention is essential. Indoor cultivation in controlled environments tends to produce the most consistent results.
