Banana Soul
Also known as: Banana Soul OG
Banana Soul Strain Overview
Banana Soul is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community. The strain is believed to have been developed by crossing Banana Kush with an undisclosed OG Kush phenotype, though some sources suggest Soul Assassin genetics may also be involved. This genetic combination has resulted in a balanced hybrid that exhibits characteristics from both its indica and sativa heritage.
The strain's appearance is notable for its dense, chunky buds that often display a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. The flowers are typically coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and feature bright orange pistils that contrast sharply against the green background. Banana Soul's name derives from its distinctive aroma profile, which prominently features sweet, tropical banana notes complemented by earthy undertones.
Banana Soul has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded effects and appealing flavor profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities, particularly in regions where boutique and craft cannabis cultivation is prevalent. The strain's balanced nature makes it suitable for various times of day, though individual experiences may vary based on phenotype and cultivation methods.

Banana Soul Strain Growing Information
Banana Soul is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, making it more suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid to late October when grown outdoors. Indoor yields average 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, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (100-150 cm indoors, 150-200 cm outdoors) and benefit from training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yield. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold and providing adequate support for the dense buds.
