Double Banana Split
Also known as: Double Banana, Banana Split
What is the Double Banana Split strain?
Double Banana Split is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and banana and creamy flavor profile.
Double Banana Split is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Banana Split with itself through selective breeding techniques. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation about its initial development, though it appears to have emerged in the early 2010s within the North American cannabis breeding community. Breeders focused on stabilizing and enhancing the desirable characteristics of the original Banana Split strain, resulting in a more consistent genetic expression of its signature traits.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, chunky structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers display a vibrant color palette ranging from deep forest green to occasional purple hues, complemented by a generous coating of amber trichomes that give the buds a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave throughout the dense flower structure, creating visual contrast. The plant's foliage tends to be broad and dark green, with some phenotypes exhibiting subtle purple coloration in cooler growing conditions.
Double Banana Split is particularly noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones. The strain's name accurately reflects its dominant scent characteristics, which many users describe as reminiscent of ripe bananas with creamy, dessert-like qualities. This aromatic complexity translates directly to the flavor experience when consumed, making it a popular choice among connoisseurs who appreciate nuanced terpene profiles. The strain's effects typically manifest as a balanced combination of cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, though individual experiences may vary based on phenotype and cultivation methods.

How do you grow Double Banana Split?
Double Banana Split is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower within 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-700 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, though it thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to remain medium in height, usually reaching 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Double Banana Split responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining consistent humidity levels during flowering (ideally 40-50%) to prevent mold development in the dense buds. The plants benefit from regular nutrient feeding with particular attention to potassium and phosphorus during the flowering phase. Some phenotypes may exhibit nutrient sensitivity, so careful monitoring and adjustment of feeding schedules is recommended. The strain shows good resistance to common pests and molds when grown in proper conditions.
