Old Dirty Banana
Also known as: ODB
Old Dirty Banana Strain Overview
Old Dirty Banana is a relatively rare hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the late 2010s, though its exact origins remain somewhat obscure within the cannabis community. The strain is believed to have been developed by boutique breeders seeking to combine unique flavor profiles with balanced effects. Its name references both its distinctive banana-like aroma and the gritty, complex character that users associate with its experience.
The strain typically produces medium to large buds with a dense, chunky structure characteristic of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, often covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and orange pistils. The visual appeal is enhanced by the contrast between the dark green leaves and the bright orange hairs, creating an aesthetically pleasing appearance that experienced growers recognize.
Notable features include its complex terpene profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy undertones, creating a distinctive aroma that sets it apart from more common banana-flavored strains. The effects are typically described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. While not as widely available as commercial strains, Old Dirty Banana has developed a cult following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique characteristics.

Old Dirty Banana Strain Growing Information
Old Dirty Banana is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors when given proper space. Yield is moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions. The strain responds well to both soil and hydroponic setups, though it prefers stable temperatures between 68-80°F (20-27°C) and moderate humidity levels. Special considerations include providing adequate support for the dense buds during late flowering and monitoring for common pests, as the sweet aroma can attract insects. The strain can be grown successfully both indoors and outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates.
