Banana Kush is a feminised cultivar leaning towards the indica side, with a split of roughly seven parts indica to three parts sativa. Its family tree combines Silver Haze, Skunk Kush and NYC Diesel, with Afghan Kush heritage running through both lines and OG Kush serving as the maternal parent. Growers can expect sturdy, vigorous plants with a robust central stem and a flowering window of about seven to nine weeks. Flowers form compact, pyramid-shaped clusters that often merge into substantial top colas. The buds are plump, sticky with resin and crumble easily. Once broken up, they release a layered scent of ripe banana, brown sugar, citrus and warm, peppery hash. The experience opens with a comforting, easygoing euphoria, after which the Haze heritage adds a brighter, sociable lift that suits talking, laughing and creative pursuits. Heavy feeding suits this variety, and keeping humidity down in late flowering helps protect the dense buds from problems.
