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.

This was one of those rare grows where almost everything went smoothly from start to finish. I germed two seeds in rapid rooters and both popped in less than 36 hours. Grew them indoors in a 4×4 tent with LED under an 18/6 light cycle. These plants stayed fairly compact and responded well to early topping and LST. What really stood out was the resin production — it looked like sugar was poured on the buds during late flower. I noticed a deep, creamy-fruit smell by week 7, kind of like overripe banana with diesel underneath. Smoke hits heavy, definitely more evening-use friendly. Easy trim and a solid cure.

Planted directly in soil without soaking. All three seeds emerged by day four. Plants stayed short and filled out fast, so I quad-topped early. Dense buds formed quickly. I kept humidity low to avoid mold, especially near harvest. One pheno had a candy-banana smell with peppery notes. Yield came in just under 300 grams from all three. It was not the strongest high I’ve experienced, but very chill and flavorful. Good for winding down.

Stayed low and wide from the start. I didn’t need to train it at all. It formed a perfect dome on its own. Smelled like sour banana bread.
Z. Petrova (verified owner)
The grow was easy, though I had to support the branches towards the end. Yield was solid.

buds were fat and resinous, but I had to prune heavily to keep air circulation good.

This strain started a little slow, but once it got going, it grew strong and healthy.
Evelyn H (verified owner)
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.

I really loved the buds were trichome coated and thick.

This one didn’t look like much in veg. I left it untrained under blurples in coco. Surprisingly thick stems and bushy form. Trimming was tedious but worth it. Terp profile was unusual—banana candy, bubblegum, and something skunky underneath. A pH slip in week four caused minor leaf spotting but no major stress. Pulled 112 grams. After a slow cure, it became one of the smoothest smokes I’ve had. Mellow high that creeps in and stays.

Buds were greasy and smelled like banana candy with a gym sock twist. Got some tip burn from overfeeding, but they powered through. Heavy and stony high.

Soaked in aloe water for a day and dropped into light mix. Germination was uneven. One popped quickly, the others followed after a couple more days. Growth was low and compact, almost like an autoflower. I ran this one under a homemade LED panel and had to raise the lights when the leaves started curling. Recovered quickly. Flower had a strong sour banana and pine aroma. Yielded 138 grams. Hits the chest first, then gives you brain fog.

These girls took their sweet time in veg, but once they hit flower, they exploded with thick, greasy buds. I started three in 3-gallon pots with coco and went with a light nutrient schedule early on. Two phenos grew low and bushy with fat leaves, while the third stretched a bit more and ended up being the frostiest. The terp profile leaned creamy-fruity with a strong backend of funk — definitely needed a carbon filter by week 6. Only issue I had was slight tip burn on one after feeding full strength too early, so go easy at first. End result was totally worth it.

I ran two outside late in the season just to see how they’d handle colder nights. They pushed through without stress. The banana funk kicked in around week seven and made the whole yard smell like candy. I didn’t train them at all. Some leaf yellowing happened late flower, but it seemed like a natural fade. Ended up with 168 grams of dry flower. Smoke is calming and thick. This one’s a solid outdoor option in mild climates.

Good for a quick, easy grow, but not my first choice if I want something potent.
Oriondragonsage (verified owner)
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
BudhaBluntz (verified owner)
Easily the frostiest thing I’ve ever pulled from my tent. Heavy indica vibes — deep body relaxation without completely knocking me out. Ran it under 18/6 from start to finish and still harvested some really solid colas. Smelled like tropical funk and left a sweet aftertaste.
autoauxx (verified owner)
Tested one seed in a corner of my tent. Turned out to be the best solo plant I’ve run. Pulled 95 grams. Strong couch-lock effect.

low-maintenance. Great for beginner growers.

I grew this indoors, but the plants needed a lot of room.

Shipping was a little slow, it took a week. From there only 1 out of my 3 seeds sprouted. waiting for customer service to respond to my email

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