Banana Bomb
Banana Bomb
Overview
Banana Bomb is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (80% indica, 20% sativa) developed by Bomb Seeds through a cross between their award-winning THC Bomb and Banana Kush genetics. This strain was created through a three-year breeding program specifically designed to achieve what Bomb Seeds calls the "holy trinity" of cannabis cultivation: exceptional yield, potent effects, and outstanding flavor. The strain is notable for its impressive resin production, with massive buds that develop dense crystalline trichome coverage throughout the flowering period.
The plant exhibits typical indica growth patterns with a compact, bushy structure when grown indoors, typically reaching heights of 90-140cm. However, when cultivated outdoors under optimal conditions, plants can stretch significantly and reach heights of up to 300cm, making training techniques essential for managing growth. The buds are characterized by their oversized, fluffy, grape-shaped appearance with olive green coloration, bright purple undertones, thick red hairs, and chunky purple-tinted white crystal trichomes that give them exceptional bag appeal.
Banana Bomb's most distinctive feature is its aromatic profile, which begins with an intense sweet tropical banana scent that emerges from the very first stage of flowering. As the plant matures, this fruity sweetness evolves to incorporate more complex spicy "classic Kush" aromatics while maintaining the unique sweet fruitiness that defines the strain. The combination of high potency (consistently over 20% THC), generous yields, and exceptional flavor profile makes this strain particularly appealing to both recreational users and commercial cultivators seeking a well-rounded, high-quality cannabis variety.

Growing Information
Banana Bomb is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for both beginner and experienced growers. The strain has a relatively fast flowering time of 7-9 weeks (49-63 days) and can be grown successfully indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouse environments. Indoor cultivation yields typically range from 500-600 grams per square meter, with plants reaching heights of 90-140cm. Outdoor plants can yield significantly more but require careful height management as they can reach up to 300cm tall. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST to control height and maximize yield. Plants prefer warm, humid environments and are relatively resilient, performing well even in basic setups with normal soil and minimal feeding. Outdoor harvest time is typically late September to early October. The strain produces dense, resinous buds with heavy crystal coverage and maintains consistent THC levels above 20% even under suboptimal growing conditions.
