Gorilla Bananas
Also known as: Gorilla Banana, Gorilla Banana Kush
Gorilla Bananas Strain Overview
Gorilla Bananas is a potent hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary parent strains: Gorilla Glue #4 and Banana Kush. This genetic combination brings together the powerful effects and resin production of Gorilla Glue #4 with the distinctive tropical flavor profile of Banana Kush. The strain was developed to create a high-THC cultivar with complex terpene expression and balanced hybrid effects that appeal to both recreational and medicinal users.
The strain typically produces dense, conical buds with a frosty appearance due to abundant trichome coverage. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. Gorilla Bananas is known for its sticky resinous texture, a characteristic inherited from its Gorilla Glue #4 parentage. The buds emit a complex aroma that combines earthy, diesel-like notes with sweet tropical fruit undertones, creating a distinctive sensory profile that has gained popularity among cannabis connoisseurs.
Gorilla Bananas has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has become a favorite among growers seeking high-yielding plants with exceptional resin production. The strain's balanced genetic profile makes it suitable for various consumption methods, though its high THC content means it should be approached with caution by novice users. Breeders continue to work with this genetic line to develop stabilized phenotypes with consistent characteristics.

Gorilla Bananas Strain Growing Information
Gorilla Bananas is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for intermediate to advanced growers. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant exhibits a bushy structure with strong lateral branching, requiring regular pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training to maximize light penetration and airflow. Gorilla Bananas thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Indoor growers should maintain temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) during the flowering phase and monitor humidity levels carefully to prevent mold in the dense buds.
Plants typically reach a medium height of 4-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Special considerations include providing strong support for the heavy, resinous buds during late flowering and maintaining proper nutrient balance, particularly during the flowering phase. The strain responds well to organic growing methods and benefits from a flush period before harvest to enhance flavor expression.
