More About Our Fat Banana Seeds And How To Grow Them

Fat Banana is one of those strains that tells you exactly how it tastes in the name. One of the fruitiest flavor profiles in the cannabis community, folks have created a high demand for this particular strain of herb. The sweet taste boasts notes of citrus that you can taste upon exhaling the smooth smoke of Fat Banana. The aroma is simple, it smells like ripe bananas once you take the peel off of them. It is a one-of-a-kind scent that is potent and pungent, and delightful on the senses. If you are looking for a tropical vibe in your next marijuana strain, then you have come to the right place. Cannabis doesn’t get more fruity and tropical than Fat Banana.

Dominant Terpenes in Fat Banana

Fat Banana’s fruity and tropical flavor and banana-esque aroma are created by its dominant terpenes. Its terpene profile is what gives the strain its specific flavors and scents. The science behind this strain is familiar, and a better understanding of the genetics of the strain can help you choose the right flavor and aroma profiles for your tastes. This strain features Myrcene, which has an earthy flavor and aroma and can be found in abundance in different strains of cannabis. Caryophyllene, which is commonly found in cinnamon and black pepper, gives off a spicy and peppery flavor and aroma. There is also Limonene in the complex terpene profile of this strain, and it is actually the most dominant terpene in Fat Banana. You can find Limonene in the rinds of citrus fruits and cannabis. Limonene is known for having an effect on anxiety and can help improve lung function.

Calming Effects

Even though the Fat Banana strain is more Indica than Sativa, it is the Sativa effects that are at the forefront of this buzz. The cerebral effects are mildly euphoric before slowing your racing mind and helping you by calming your overthinking. Once those Sativa effects start to die down, you will feel your body go into power-saving mode, making it increasingly easy to relax and fall asleep. If you suffer from insomnia, then you should give Fat Banana a try. It will, without a doubt, help you get to sleep faster and will lead to a deep sleep, making you feel well-rested the following day. Because of this, Fat Banana is best used in the evening as you are unwinding for bed.

Tall Plants, Big Yields

Fat Banana’s tall stature means it can grow taller than your average cannabis variety. When grown correctly, the strain can produce hefty yields of delicious buds. If you are growing your cannabis indoors, you can expect to harvest around 300 grams per square meter. If you grow your bud outdoors, then you can anticipate harvesting up to 550 grams per plant. It has a longer-than-average flowering time, taking 60-70 days to complete flowering if you grow your plants indoors. If you were to plant your seeds in late Spring, you should be ready to harvest around the end of October. Dialing in the proper conditions indoors will help you grow flavorful buds that are coated in dusty, resinous trichomes. Growing this strain outdoors requires a bit more time and effort, but if under the correct conditions, you should be able to harvest dank and dense buds.

Ideal Conditions For Growing Fat Banana Seeds

Fat Banana cannabis plants are tricky to grow and can be brought to harvest by intermediate and above cultivators. This strain grows notoriously tall plants and reaches heights of well over 6 feet, which means it requires a ton of space to grow. Fat Banana performs better indoors than outdoors, similar to most cannabis strains, and will grow like most indoor plants if you have access to an outdoor greenhouse. While some cultivators prefer to grow in natural sunlight and fresh air similar to that of the Mediterranean, others prefer the more predictable, controlled environment of growing indoors. Ideally, the temperature should be between 78 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit, with relative humidity between 50-60%. If you are going to grow this strain indoors, you will need to replicate the warm and humid climate to make these plants hit their highest potential yields. If your local weather is similar to these conditions, your crop will perform exceptionally outdoors. However, setting up your grow inside will help you keep the right lighting, humidity, and temperature throughout the grow. You can use Low-stress training (LST) and topping to help increase your yields come harvest time. The Screen of Green (SCroG) method is also a solid choice for this tall strain. These methods help shape and prune the canopy so that it doesn’t grow too tall. You will also need to use screens to help reinforce the heavy buds so that they don’t break the branches of this plant.

    I choose Fat Banana since it helps me to relax and ideal for decompressing after work. Though slow-building, the high makes you completely relaxed. Though I had to monitor humidity levels, growing was easy. Not having any problems with germination.

    This strain grew taller than I expected, which became a challenge in my indoor tent. I had to top it early to keep it manageable. The buds were heavy and aromatic

    The resin output was INSANE; dense and sticky. Strong and long-lasting. Would most certainly expand once more.
