What is the Banana Kush strain?
Banana Kush is an indica-leaning hybrid from Crockett Family Farms in California, made by crossing a Ghost OG cut of OG Kush with an old Skunk Haze line. It got its name from a faint banana smell, which growers still pick out over the earthy, peppery OG background. AllBud lists it at about 60% indica with 18–25% THC and little CBD, and feminized plants flower in roughly 8 to 9 weeks indoors.
Ratio from AllBud. Crockett Family Farms calls it a hybrid without giving a split.
Banana Kush was nicknamed for the sweet banana smell that stands out from the usual OG fuel and pine.
Banana Kush strain specs
Banana Kush's cannabinoid and effect figures come from AllBud, Leafly and Weedmaps, and its origin from the breeder's notes on SeedFinder. Crockett never released feminized seeds, so the height, yield and timing rows come from seed banks that sell feminized Banana Kush and vary between sellers.

Where does the Banana Kush strain come from?
Banana Kush comes from Crockett Family Farms in California, which crossed its Ghost OG cut with an older Skunk Haze line. The breeder's own description on SeedFinder calls it a cross of an OG cut and an old Skunk line, created about ten years before that listing, and says the nickname Banana stuck because of the plant's faint banana scent. Weedmaps adds that the cultivar was first called Banana and later renamed Private Reserve, though most people still know it as Banana Kush.
There is a second story. Weedmaps also records a claim from Cali Kush that its Banana Kush came from OG Kush crossed with a male called Banana, and AllBud simply lists OG Kush × Skunk Haze. Both accounts put an OG Kush plant on the mother's side, which explains why Banana Kush keeps the classic OG bud structure and earthy base under its fruit.
Did the original breeder sell feminized Banana Kush seeds?
No. SeedFinder notes that Crockett's Banana Kush was never available as feminized seeds. The feminized Banana Kush on the market today was made by seed companies working from Banana Kush plants, so expect small differences in vigor, smell and finishing time from one seed source to the next.
Banana Kush is also a popular parent. Strawberry Banana, for example, is commonly listed as Banana Kush crossed with Bubble Gum, and many newer banana-named strains trace back to it.
What does Banana Kush smell, taste and feel like?
Aroma and flavor
Banana Kush tastes sweet and fruity, with ripe banana and tropical notes up front and earthy, woody OG flavors behind them. Weedmaps users also mention a creamy edge and a peppery spice on the exhale.

Reported effects
People who smoke Banana Kush most often describe it as relaxing and happy, with a euphoric, creative start that settles into a heavy body feel. AllBud reviewers note that a little goes a long way, and many save it for evenings because larger amounts get sleepy.

- Euphoric

- Sleepy
Banana Kush's most common downsides are dry mouth and dry eyes, plus couch-lock if you overdo it.
Banana Kush effect reports here come from AllBud, Leafly and Weedmaps reviewers. Reactions vary from person to person, and nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Banana Kush seeds?
Banana Kush seeds grow into a medium-height OG-type plant that needs strong light, regular trimming and about 8 to 9 weeks of flowering on 12/12. It suits a tent or a warm outdoor spot, and training early keeps the colas even.
- Germinate3–7 days
Start Banana Kush seeds in damp paper towels or a small pot of light soil, then give the seedlings soft light for their first week.
- Vegetate4–6 weeks indoors
Top Banana Kush once and pull side branches outward with LST so the OG-style main cola does not take over.
- Flower8–9 weeks
Set lights to 12/12 when the canopy is about half its target height, since Banana Kush stretches in early bloom.
- HarvestDay 56–63 indoors · October outdoors
Harvest Banana Kush when most trichomes are cloudy with a few amber ones for the heavier body effect.
Grow tips for Banana Kush
- Give it plenty of light. Weedmaps notes Banana Kush does best indoors under strong lighting, which keeps the OG buds dense instead of airy.
- Trim the interior. Banana Kush grows a leafy OG canopy, so remove lower growth and inner fan leaves before and during early flower.
- Plan for smell control. The banana-and-fuel aroma gets loud in late bloom. A carbon filter keeps a Banana Kush tent discreet.
- Keep late-bloom humidity low. Dense OG-type colas can hold moisture, so aim for around 40–45% humidity in the last weeks of flowering.
- Don't expect a monster yield. The breeder describes its Ghost OG parent as a modest yielder, so judge Banana Kush on bud quality and smell, not weight.
- Feminized seeds keep every plant. These Banana Kush seeds grow female plants, so every seedling can go on to flower without sexing.

How much THC does Banana Kush have?

How tall does Banana Kush grow?

What is the difference between Banana Kush feminized and Banana Kush autoflower?
Feminized Banana Kush is a photoperiod plant: it grows until you set a 12/12 light schedule, then flowers for 8 to 9 weeks, and it gets bigger. The autoflower version adds ruderalis genetics, flowers on its own and stays shorter, trading size for speed.
