Rotten Bananas
Also known as: Rotten Banana, Rotten Banana OG
Rotten Bananas Strain Overview
Rotten Bananas is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Banana Kush with an unknown OG Kush variant, though some sources suggest it may involve Banana OG or other banana-related genetics. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s from California's competitive cannabis breeding scene, where breeders sought to combine the tropical flavors of banana strains with the potent effects of OG Kush varieties. Its name derives from its distinctive aroma profile that combines sweet banana notes with a pungent, slightly fermented undertone reminiscent of overripe fruit.
The strain produces dense, resinous buds that typically display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues and a generous coating of amber trichomes. The nugs are often chunky and rounded with orange pistils weaving through the flower structure. Rotten Bananas is noted for its complex terpene profile that creates a unique sensory experience, balancing sweet tropical fruit aromas with earthy, diesel-like undertones characteristic of OG Kush genetics.
While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Rotten Bananas has gained a following among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain represents a successful fusion of dessert-like aromatics with classic Kush potency, though specific breeding details remain somewhat obscure due to the proprietary nature of many modern cannabis genetics.

Rotten Bananas is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for outdoor harvest in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant in optimal conditions. The strain prefers a warm, Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic setups indoors.
