Also known as: Sticky Bananas
What is the Sticky Banana strain?
Sticky Banana is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and banana and earthy flavor profile.
Sticky Banana is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing Banana Kush with an undisclosed OG Kush variant, though some sources suggest it may involve OG #18 or other OG phenotypes. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s from breeders seeking to combine Banana Kush's tropical characteristics with the potency and structure of OG genetics. It gained popularity in California's medical and recreational markets before spreading to other regions, though it remains less common than its parent strains.
The strain's name derives from its distinctive physical characteristics. Buds are typically dense, conical, and covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a sticky, resinous texture. The coloration ranges from lime green to forest green with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils. The dense trichome coverage contributes to the strain's high THC content and sticky handling experience, which many users note requires careful grinding and handling.
Notable features include its pronounced aroma profile and balanced effects. The strain exhibits a complex terpene profile that combines sweet, fruity notes with earthy, kush undertones. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Sticky Banana has developed a following among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor combination and reliable hybrid effects. Its genetic stability makes it relatively consistent across different growers and batches.

How do you grow Sticky Banana?
Sticky Banana is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate. Flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. The plants tend to be medium in height, reaching 3-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. Yields are moderate to high, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter and outdoor growers achieving 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate with consistent temperatures. It responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to manage height and improve light penetration. Growers should monitor humidity levels carefully during flowering, as the dense buds are susceptible to mold in high humidity conditions. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding. The plants produce a strong aroma during flowering that requires adequate ventilation and odor control measures.
