Banana Kush

Description

**Banana Kush** is a renowned hybrid strain that has earned its place among cannabis connoisseurs for its exceptional flavor profile and potent, balanced effects. A cross between the indica-dominant **Ghost OG** and the sativa-leaning **Skunk Haze**, this strain typically exhibits a 60/40 indica-to-sativa ratio. **Appearance & Cultivation:** The buds are dense and chunky, often displaying a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues, all covered in a thick layer of frosty trichomes and fiery orange pistils. It has a moderate flowering time of approximately 8 weeks and is best suited for growers with some experience, as it can be sensitive to environmental stressors. Plants tend to grow to an average height and offer a medium yield. **Aroma & Flavor:** True to its name, Banana Kush delivers a dominant, ripe banana aroma with sweet, tropical undertones. Upon consumption, the flavor is a complex blend of sweet, fruity banana, earthy Kush notes, and a hint of spicy diesel on the exhale, courtesy of its rich terpene profile. **Effects & Medicinal Use:** The high begins with a cerebral rush of euphoria and happiness, characteristic of its sativa heritage, which gently melts into a deep, full-body relaxation and sedation from its indica side. This makes it highly effective for evening or nighttime use. Medicinally, it is prized for its ability to alleviate **stress, anxiety, chronic pain, and insomnia**, while also stimulating appetite. **Key Terpenes:** The effects and flavors are driven by a dominant presence of **myrcene** (sedative, earthy), supported by **limonene** (mood-elevating, citrus) and **caryophyllene** (anti-inflammatory, spicy).
