Sweet Banana
Also known as: Banana OG, Sweet Banana OG
Sweet Banana Strain Overview
Sweet Banana is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that has gained popularity for its distinctive tropical aroma and relaxing effects. The strain was developed by crossing Banana Kush with an unknown indica strain, though some sources suggest it may have OG Kush genetics in its lineage. First appearing in the early 2010s, Sweet Banana has become a favorite among connoisseurs who appreciate its unique flavor profile and potent effects.
The strain is characterized by dense, medium-sized buds that display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, often covered in a generous coating of trichomes that give the flowers a frosty appearance. Orange pistils weave through the buds, creating a visually striking contrast. The name 'Sweet Banana' accurately describes the strain's most notable feature: a pronounced sweet, tropical banana aroma with subtle earthy undertones.
Sweet Banana is known for its balanced effects that begin with a cerebral uplift before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has gained particular attention in the cannabis community for its consistent quality and reliable effects, making it a staple in many dispensaries. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Sweet Banana has developed a dedicated following among users who seek its specific combination of flavor and effects.

Sweet Banana Strain Growing Information
Sweet Banana is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready by late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The plant tends to grow to a medium height, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoor growers should be prepared for some height management, as the strain can stretch during the flowering phase.

The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields.
