What is the Kiwano Kush strain?
Kiwano Kush is a hybrid cannabis strain, known for its relaxed effects and banana and citrus flavor profile.
Kiwano Kush is an indica-leaning hybrid strain created by Enlightened Genetics through breeding the Numbskull hybrid with the renowned Banana Split strain. The result is the impressive Kiwano Kush, which carries noticeable OG Kush undertones. Named after the exotic horned melon (Cucumis metuliferus), this boutique, fruit-forward cannabis cultivar takes its name from the spiky tropical fruit, which cues consumers to expect tropical melon aromatics and an eye-catching, spiky aesthetic in the flower's calyx structure.
The finished flower will be greasy to the touch with unbelievable oils and terpenes that taste of bananas and fresh cut limes with heavy OG Kush notes on the exhale. The nickname cues consumers to expect tropical melon aromatics and an eye-catching, spiky aesthetic in the flower's calyx structure. In dispensary menus and grower forums, it's typically listed simply as "Kiwano," though some entries add "Strain" for clarity. Extracts will be incredibly high in terpenes with percentages easily hitting double digits.

How do you grow Kiwano Kush?
Kiwano Kush can be cultivated indoors, outdoors and greenhouse with plants needing a flowering time of approximately 66 days. From a grower's standpoint, Kiwano behaves like a vigorous hybrid with medium internodal spacing, modest stretch at flip (1.5–2.0x), and dense colas that benefit from airflow and strategic defoliation. Phenohunters report a preference for plants that carry a sweeter nose in late flower rather than a fuel-dominant finish, correlating with larger limonene/ocimene proportions over beta-caryophyllene dominance. Growers who dry at approximately 60°F/60% RH for 10–14 days consistently report superior terpene expression compared to faster, warmer dries.
