Blacknana
Also known as: Black Banana, Black Banana Kush
Blacknana Strain Overview
Blacknana is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, representing a cross between two well-established cultivars: Banana Kush and Blackberry Kush. This strain was developed by breeders seeking to combine the tropical fruit characteristics of Banana Kush with the deep berry notes and potent effects of Blackberry Kush. While its exact origin remains somewhat obscure within the cannabis breeding community, Blacknana has gained recognition through various seed banks and clone providers, particularly in North American markets.
The strain is visually distinctive, typically producing dense, conical buds that display a striking color palette. The flowers often showcase deep purple and violet hues inherited from its Blackberry Kush lineage, contrasted by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The leaves may also exhibit dark purple pigmentation, especially when exposed to cooler temperatures during the flowering phase. The buds are usually resinous and sticky to the touch, with a complex aroma profile that blends fruity, earthy, and sweet notes.
Blacknana has developed a reputation among cannabis enthusiasts for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, it has maintained a consistent presence in certain cannabis circles, particularly among users who appreciate fruity, dessert-like strains with substantial potency. The strain's genetics combine indica and sativa characteristics in a roughly balanced ratio, though individual phenotypes may express more dominant traits from either parent.

Blacknana Strain Growing Information
Blacknana is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable environments.
The strain prefers a temperate climate with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity. It can be grown both indoors and outdoors, though indoor cultivation allows better control over environmental factors that influence the purple coloration. Plants tend to be medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures during flowering to encourage color development and proper nutrient management, as the plants can be sensitive to overfeeding. Pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training can help manage height and improve light penetration to lower bud sites.
