Bananas Foster
Also known as: Banana Foster
Bananas Foster Strain Overview
Bananas Foster is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing Banana OG with Cookies and Cream. The strain was developed by breeders seeking to combine the relaxing indica properties of Banana OG with the balanced hybrid characteristics of Cookies and Cream. Named after the classic dessert consisting of bananas cooked in butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and rum, then flambéed and served over ice cream, this strain aims to deliver a similarly rich and comforting experience.
The strain typically produces dense, medium-sized buds with a distinctive appearance featuring bright orange pistils weaving through forest green calyxes, often with purple hues that become more pronounced in cooler growing conditions. The buds are usually coated in a generous layer of trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance. The aroma profile is complex, combining sweet banana and tropical fruit notes with creamy undertones and hints of vanilla, often accompanied by subtle spicy or earthy accents.
Bananas Foster has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its balanced effects and appealing flavor profile. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, it has developed a dedicated following in certain cannabis communities. The strain's effects are typically described as beginning with cerebral stimulation that gradually transitions into full-body relaxation, making it suitable for evening use.

Bananas Foster Strain Growing Information
Bananas Foster is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 16-20 ounces 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, making them suitable for indoor cultivation with limited vertical space. Outdoor cultivation is possible in warm, Mediterranean-like climates with consistent sunlight. Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and some growers recommend using training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize yields. The plants respond well to organic nutrients and benefit from a gradual reduction in temperature during the final weeks of flowering to enhance coloration.
