Origins, Genetics, History

Banana Split is a 70 % Indica and 30 % Sativa weed hybrid with THC levels that come up to 25 %. It is the spawn of the fruity Tangie and the delicious Banana Sherbert. Some growers use other parents, for example including OG Kush to add even more THC. In any case, they breed this weed to smell and taste of bananas. This is caused by the terpenes in the plant that help augment the effect of marijuana, making its smoother and reducing side effects of THC.

Appearance and Smell

Banana Split has buds which are quite large, with colas covered in snowy trichomes. The plant can grow from 3 to 6 feet tall. The smell is where it really hits you. It’s like a strong banana flavored taffy or a banana that has aged just perfectly so that it is busting out with flavor. This Indica also smells like a bouquet of flowers. You smell the floral notes mixed in with the fruitiness. You get a mouthful of banana flavor, but there are even small hints of citrus from the Tangie parent. It’s like a fruit cornucopia or a banana dominant ambrosia.

How to Grow Banana Split Cannabis Seeds or Cuttings

Growing weed from Banana Split cannabis seeds or cuttings is said by growers to be fairly easy. This resilient plant flourishes indoors and outdoors.  If you grow it indoors, start growing it in a grow tent so you can better manipulate the environment. Now you have your microenvironment. Set your lamps so that they are gonna be blasting the leaves with light. The leaves drink it up and produce valuable phytonutrients. Put reflective lining around the inside of your tent so that the light is caught and thrown back to hit the leaves at every angle. To control the humidity, measure it with a humidity monitor. You can start with your humidity around 70 percent, then slowly lower it over the course of your growing period all the way down to 40 %. Once your leaves are big and hungry and those buds start popping out, you want the air crisp and dry to prevent mold. Make sure your soil is kept moist but not soggy. Make sure your soil ph is between 6.0 and 7.0. You can use five-gallon buckets filled with organic soil and with a fertilizer like Flower Power. Position your high discharge lamps to hit your leaves just right. In eight or nine weeks you can induce your photoperiodic plants to flower indoors by setting a lighting schedule of 12 hours light and 12 hours dark. Your buds will come out to see what’s going on. They will be large and covered in THC filled, sticky trichomes. Gather your bundles and hang them to dry. Once they are dry, you can store them in dark mason jars to protect them from moisture, mildew, and sunlight which could zap your cannabinoids and terpenoids. You can expect 16 ounces per square meter of space.

Outdoors, you need to make sure you have a sunny Mediterranean environment. Use some organic soil and you’re set. This plant is fairly easy to grow. Keep the ground moist but not soggy. In early October, your plants will flower. Expect a yield of 16 ounces of banana fruit weed per plant.
