Growing Characteristics

To ensure optimal growth, start in a 3–5 gallon pot, maintain consistent 18/6 light cycles, and keep temperatures between 70–80°F with humidity below 45% during bloom. Expect yields of 300–400 grams per square meter with proper care.

Strain Lineage and Genetics

This strain is believed to have origins in the cross between Ghost OG and Skunk Haze, with ruderalis genetics for its autoflowering traits. Developed by Dave Crockett, Banana Kush Autoflower combines the strength and flavor of its parent strains into a compact, high-yielding plant.
