Strawberry Banana
Also known as: Strawnana, Strawberry Banana OG
Overview
Strawberry Banana, also known as Strawnana, is an indica-dominant hybrid (70% indica/30% sativa) created by DNA Genetics in collaboration with Serious Seeds through crossing Crockett's Banana Kush with a Strawberry phenotype of Bubble Gum. This award-winning strain has garnered multiple Cannabis Cup victories, including 1st Place Sativa Flower at the 2015 High Times Cannabis Cup and 1st Judges Choice at Cannabis Cup Brazil in 2016. The strain is renowned for its exceptional resin production and high THC content, making it particularly valuable for concentrate production. Visually, Strawberry Banana displays bright green buds with orange hairs and a thick coating of white trichomes, with some phenotypes showing purple flecks when grown in cooler temperatures. The strain's most distinctive characteristic is its dessert-like aroma and flavor profile that genuinely resembles a strawberry-banana smoothie, with sweet fruity notes complemented by earthy undertones. This combination of exceptional flavor, potent effects, and heavy resin production has made it a cornerstone strain in many breeding programs and a favorite among both recreational and medical cannabis users.

Growing Information
Strawberry Banana is considered beginner-friendly and forgiving for novice growers. It can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with indoor flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (56-63 days). The strain responds well to topping and SCROG techniques due to its predictable canopy and uniform cola development. Indoor yields typically range from 450-600 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Plants grow to medium height with compact internodes and vigorous lateral growth during vegetative phase. The strain prefers humid daytime conditions with temperatures around 70°F (21°C) for outdoor cultivation. It's sensitive to overwatering and overfeeding, so careful nutrient management is recommended. Due to its heavy resin production, it's particularly well-suited for concentrate and hash production.
