Banana Kush Feminized is 70 % indica and 30 % sativa. It combines genes from some of the greatest strains in cannabis breeding - Haze, Skunk, Kush and Diesel. This balanced four-way hybrid produces robust plants with a fast, productive flowering phase. White Label Banana Kush Feminized cannabis seeds allow even inexperienced growers to produce an impressive harvest of sparkling, fragrant buds. The plants have a high THC content and produce a strong, relaxing effect.
The growth of Banana Kush
Banana Kush exhibits the typical indica growth pattern. The sativa influence of this strain is particularly evident in the flower structure and the resulting high.
Vegetative growth is vigorous and reliable. Most plants develop a thick, productive main stem and strong branches with short internodal distances. During the flowering phase, the vegetative height of Banana Kush Feminized typically increases by 100 % to 150 %. Banana Kush slows its upward growth in the first few weeks of flowering, when the first calyxes develop at its many bud sites. Before the middle of its seven- to nine-week flowering period, this strain produces several small, solid, resinous calyxes at each node. These quickly grow into thick flower clusters.
The flower clusters often take on a conical or pyramidal shape, with an extra wide base that tapers to a blunt tip. Due to the particularly vigorous bud formation, the terminal buds at the top of the main stem and branches of Banana Kush often merge with the flower clusters below, forming large colas. This occurs despite the calyxes' tendency to cluster at nodes rather than "run" between them.
During the flowering stage, White Label Banana Kush is remarkably low maintenance, and the plants can be left mostly to their own devices until harvest time. Humidity should be kept low in the second half of the flowering period due to the size and dense formation of the buds. Like many heavy indica strains, Banana Kush requires ample nutrients to achieve optimal results. With the right amount of care, the plants tend to produce bumper harvests.
After harvest, the flowers usually dry quickly, retaining much of their size. For larger harvests, a dehumidifier or good air circulation in the drying area is recommended, as Banana Kush flowers can release a large amount of water into the air. Manicuring is also an easy task, as the plants produce very little foliage during the flowering phase. Even from the large flower clusters, relatively few single-leaf leaves grow.
The effect of Banana Kush
The effects are mostly indica, but there is enough sativa to enhance the strong physical high and set this strain apart from other Kush strains. The warm, relaxing and euphoric effect of Banana Kush is almost immediately noticeable. The Haze part of its cannabinoid profile kicks in shortly afterwards, boosting the high and encouraging talkativeness, laughter and creativity.
Smell and taste of Banana Kush
White Label Banana Kush is indica-dominant. The flowers are fat, fruity-smelling and sticky with resin glands. They are also easy to crumble due to their comparatively small calyxes. Breaking up the buds releases the full, complex aroma of this strain. You can expect to smell and taste sweet, ripe banana, brown sugar, citrus and rich, spicy hash. As it grows, the smell is not overpowering. However, growers should note that it is likely to increase with the upcoming harvest.
