Banana Sherbert
Also known as: Banana Sherbet, Banana Sherb
Banana Sherbert Strain Overview
Banana Sherbert is a hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s from the California cannabis scene. The strain was developed by crossing Banana OG with Sunset Sherbert, combining two popular West Coast genetics. While its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, most sources attribute its development to breeders working in the Bay Area who sought to create a flavorful, potent strain with balanced effects. The strain gained popularity through the California medical cannabis market before spreading to recreational markets as legalization expanded.
Banana Sherbert plants typically produce medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure. The flowers display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by bright orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The strain's name accurately reflects its most prominent characteristics - a distinct banana aroma with sweet, creamy undertones reminiscent of sherbet dessert. The terpene profile creates a complex sensory experience that has made it popular among connoisseurs.
Notable features include its relatively fast flowering time and adaptability to various growing conditions. The strain has become a parent to several other popular hybrids and has maintained consistent popularity due to its reliable effects and distinctive flavor profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Banana Sherbert remains sought after in markets where it's cultivated, particularly in California and other West Coast regions.

Banana Sherbert Strain Growing Information
Banana Sherbert is considered a moderate difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-9 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well both indoors and outdoors, preferring a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to grow to medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds can be susceptible in humid conditions. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and produce abundant resin, making them suitable for extraction purposes.
