Banana Kush Strain Autoflower SeedsBanana Kush flavor on a short, self-timing ruderalis plant
4.75 out of 5 · 12 reviewsThe Banana Kush strain in autoflower form takes the banana-and-OG aroma of Crockett Family Farms' Ghost OG × Skunk Haze cross and adds ruderalis, so plants bloom by age rather than light schedule. Seed bank listings put outdoor plants at about 90–110 cm and allow roughly 8 to 10 weeks of flowering, making Banana Kush Auto a short-season option for balconies, small tents and northern gardens.

What is the Banana Kush strain as an autoflower?
Banana Kush Auto is the autoflowering form of Banana Kush, the banana-scented OG hybrid credited to Crockett Family Farms, crossed with ruderalis so it starts flowering on its own after a few weeks of growth. One seed bank listing describes it as roughly 20% ruderalis with outdoor plants around 90–110 cm and 120–200 g per plant. No breeder publishes a lab THC figure for the auto, so the 18–25% often quoted belongs to the photoperiod Banana Kush.
Banana Kush Auto keeps the fruit-and-fuel smell of the original but sets its own flowering clock.
Banana Kush strain specs
Autoflower Banana Kush is far less documented than the photoperiod strain. The size and yield rows come from seed bank listings for Banana Kush Auto; the THC, terpene and effect rows describe photoperiod Banana Kush from AllBud, Leafly and Weedmaps, which the auto inherits but may not match exactly.

|---|---|
| Genetics | Banana Kush (Ghost OG × Skunk Haze) × ruderalis; one listing adds White Widow |
| Bred by | Photoperiod Banana Kush by Crockett Family Farms, California; the auto line's breeder is not published |
| THC | Not published for the auto; photoperiod Banana Kush tests about 18–25% |

Where does the Banana Kush strain come from?
Banana Kush Auto starts with photoperiod Banana Kush, which Crockett Family Farms bred in California from its Ghost OG cut and an old Skunk Haze line, and adds a ruderalis plant for automatic flowering. SeedFinder's notes from the breeder say the name came from a faint banana smell, and Weedmaps records that the cultivar was first sold as Banana and then as Private Reserve.
The autoflower step was done later by seed companies, not by Crockett, and the exact recipe is not public. One seed bank describes its Banana Kush Auto as (OG Kush × Banana × White Widow) crossed with an undisclosed ruderalis, at about 20% ruderalis. Because the ruderalis donor and backcrossing are unknown, think of Banana Kush Auto as a close relative of the original rather than an identical copy.
How is Banana Kush Auto different from feminized Banana Kush?
The biggest difference is timing: Banana Kush Auto flowers by itself a few weeks after sprouting, while feminized Banana Kush waits for 12 hours of darkness each day. That makes the auto shorter, quicker and able to finish several harvests per outdoor season, while the photoperiod plant grows larger and lets you choose how long to vegetate.
Smaller plants, smaller harvests. Listings put Banana Kush Auto at about 120–200 g per plant outdoors, which is less than a well-vegged photoperiod Banana Kush, but it gets there in a fraction of the time.
How does Banana Kush Auto smell, and what effects are reported?
Aroma and flavor
Banana Kush Auto is grown for the same sweet banana and tropical fruit smell over earthy Kush that made the photoperiod strain popular. Expect a woody, peppery note on the exhale, with the fruit strength varying between autoflower plants.
- Ripe banana
- Tropical
- Sweet
- Earthy
- Pepper
Terpenes
- Limonene
- Citrus sweetness under the banana
- Myrcene
- Musky, ripe-fruit depth
- Caryophyllene
- Spicy, peppery finish
These Banana Kush terpenes are from photoperiod data; no published lab profile exists for the auto.
Reported effects
Reports for Banana Kush describe a calm, contented high that starts cheerful and creative and turns heavy in the body, and growers of the auto describe a similar evening-leaning effect. Autoflower versions of potent strains often test a little lower than the photoperiod original.
- Calm
- Happy
- Body-heavy
- Creative
- Drowsy
Banana Kush users mention cottonmouth, red eyes and getting stuck on the couch after a large dose.
Effect notes for Banana Kush Auto draw on AllBud and Weedmaps reviews of the photoperiod strain, since few reviews cover the auto. Your experience may differ, and nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Banana Kush seeds?
Banana Kush Auto seeds are grown in their final pot from the start, kept under one steady light schedule such as 18/6 or 20/4, and left to flower on their own; most plants are ready roughly 10 to 12 weeks after sprouting.
- GerminateDays 1–7
Plant the sprouted Banana Kush Auto seed directly in its final container, since autoflowers lose time recovering from transplants.
- Early growthWeeks 2–4
Bend the main stem gently with LST while Banana Kush Auto is still soft, and keep feeding light.
- FlowerWeeks 4–10
Pistils appear without any change of light. Banana Kush Auto stretches a little, then puts its energy into the colas.
- HarvestAbout weeks 10–12
Check the trichomes with a loupe and harvest once most are milky, with some amber for a heavier effect.
Grow tips for Banana Kush
- Skip transplanting. A 10–15 liter (3–4 gallon) final pot from day one gives Banana Kush Auto its full growing window.
- Train early, not late. Low-stress training in weeks 2 to 4 spreads the canopy; heavy topping or defoliation after flowering starts can stunt an auto.
- Use long light days indoors. Banana Kush Auto does not need a 12/12 period, so 18 to 20 hours of light keeps it growing and flowering at full speed.
- Feed lightly. Compact autoflowers need less nutrient than big photoperiod plants. Start at half strength and raise it only if the leaves pale.
- Stagger outdoor sowings. Because Banana Kush Auto finishes in about three months, outdoor growers can sow in late spring and again in early summer.
- Mind the smell. Even small Banana Kush Auto plants carry a strong fruity Kush aroma in late flower, so plan filtration or a private spot.

Banana Kush strain FAQ
How long does Banana Kush Auto take from seed to harvest?
Banana Kush Auto is usually ready roughly 10 to 12 weeks after germination. One seed bank lists 8 to 10 weeks of flowering, and the first two to four weeks are early growth. Light intensity, pot size and the individual plant shift the finish by a week or so.
Do Banana Kush autoflower seeds need 12/12 lighting?
No. Banana Kush Auto flowers by age thanks to its ruderalis genetics, so it blooms under the same 18/6 or 20/4 schedule it grew under. Feminized photoperiod Banana Kush is the version that needs 12 hours of darkness.
How tall does Banana Kush Auto get?
One seed bank listing gives Banana Kush Auto a height of about 90–110 cm (3 to 3.6 ft) outdoors. Indoor plants in moderate pots often stay smaller, which suits short tents and balconies.
How much does Banana Kush Auto yield?
A seed bank listing puts Banana Kush Auto at about 120–200 g (4–7 oz) per plant outdoors. Indoor results depend heavily on light strength and pot size, and no breeder publishes a per-square-meter figure for this auto.
How strong is Banana Kush Auto?
No lab THC figure is published for Banana Kush Auto. Photoperiod Banana Kush tests around 18–25% THC on AllBud, and autoflowering versions of a strain often land a little lower, so read that range as an upper guide.
What are the genetics of Banana Kush Auto?
Banana Kush Auto is photoperiod Banana Kush, the Ghost OG × Skunk Haze cross credited to Crockett Family Farms, bred with ruderalis for automatic flowering. One seed bank lists it as (OG Kush × Banana × White Widow) × undisclosed ruderalis at about 20% ruderalis.
Is Banana Kush Auto indica or sativa?
Banana Kush Auto leans indica like its photoperiod parent, which AllBud lists at about 60% indica. The added ruderalis share, about 20% per one seed bank, mainly changes timing and size rather than the relaxed effect.

I have an eating disorder, and nothing helps me feel good other than Banana Kush Auto. It’s strange. I used to think marijuana was just for stoners, but it has greatly aided my depression and nausea. It makes me smile and relieves my anxiety. My dad grew it for the most part, with a bit of support from me.

This Banana Kush really did set the bar high! from its deliciously sweet, fruity, tropical, and earthy taste to its uplifting and stimulating boost. I really couldn’t ask for more! She could also give me so much comfort that I was able to forget about my worries.
