Banana Kush Seeds

Genetics & effects

Banana Kush is a feminised, indica-dominant cultivar created from Ghost OG × Skunk Haze genetics, with an approximate balance of 60% indica and 40% sativa. THC is commonly listed at 18–22%, while CBD sits around 0.1–0.3%. Its aromatic profile combines ripe banana, sweet tropical fruit and citrus with earthy, pungent and skunky undertones. Limonene, beta-caryophyllene and myrcene are among the prominent terpenes associated with this layered character.

Experiences are subjective, though some people describe Banana Kush as initially uplifting, happy or talkative before settling into a more relaxed mood. Others may notice euphoric or creative qualities. Aroma, flavour and perceived effects can differ with the growing environment, harvest timing and individual experience. Outback Seed Bank presents this variety as part of its feminised seed catalogue.

Growing in Australia

Banana Kush is considered an intermediate-level option that can suit temperate regions and hot, dry conditions. Australian outdoor planting generally aligns with spring, from September to November, once local temperatures are stable. Good airflow, measured watering and routine canopy checks are particularly useful where humidity rises or seasonal rain is common.

This cultivar may reach up to 160 cm indoors and up to 200 cm outdoors, although final size depends on root space, light, climate and cultivation choices. Branch support can be useful as flowers gain weight. A balanced feeding approach and close observation are preferable to sudden changes, especially during the transition into flowering.

Indoor

Indoors, Banana Kush generally flowers for around 7–9 weeks. Its moderate stretch can be managed with early training, pruning and an even canopy. Strong air exchange around dense growth may help reduce the risk of mould. Carbon filtration may also be worth considering because flowering plants can develop a pronounced sweet, fruity and skunky aroma.

• Indoor height: up to 160 cm
• Indicative yield: up to 550 g/m²
• Flowering period: approximately 7–9 weeks

Outdoor

Outdoor plants may perform well in a sunny, sheltered position with free-draining soil. In hot, dry areas, mulch and consistent irrigation can help keep root-zone conditions steady. In temperate areas, selecting a site with morning sun and good breeze exposure may limit lingering moisture. Inspect flowers after rain and support heavily laden branches where needed.

• Outdoor height: up to 200 cm
• Indicative yield: up to 710 g per plant
• Preferred conditions: hot, dry or temperate climates

Harvest

In Australia, the usual outdoor harvest window falls between March and May. Flower maturity may be assessed through pistil colour, trichome appearance and the plant’s overall pace of growth. Indoor timing usually follows the 7–9 week flowering range. Reported yield figures are reference points rather than assured outcomes, as weather, lighting, plant care and experience all influence the final harvest.
