Banana Cake
Banana Cake
Also known as: Banana Cream Cake
Overview
Banana Cake is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain bred by In House Genetics, created through a cross between Banana OG (OG Kush x Banana) and Wedding Cake (Cherry Pie x Girl Scout Cookies). This strain features a 70% indica and 30% sativa genetic profile, making it predominantly relaxing with mild uplifting qualities. The strain was developed to combine the tropical banana flavors of Banana OG with the sweet, creamy potency of Wedding Cake, resulting in a dessert-like cannabis experience that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users. Banana Cake exhibits dense, popcorn-shaped buds with vibrant lime green coloration often accented with deep purple hues when exposed to cooler temperatures. The flowers are heavily coated in a thick layer of glistening white trichomes and adorned with bright orange pistils. The strain's visual appeal matches its reputation for producing high-quality, resinous buds that are as attractive as they are potent. Known for its beginner-friendly cultivation characteristics, Banana Cake has gained popularity among both novice and experienced growers for its resilience, generous yields, and exceptional terpene profile.

Growing Information
Banana Cake is considered a beginner-friendly strain with low maintenance requirements and good resilience to pests and diseases. Indoor flowering time is 8-9 weeks (56-63 days), while outdoor harvest typically occurs in mid-October. The strain produces medium-high to high yields, with indoor growers expecting around 400 grams per square meter and outdoor cultivators potentially harvesting over 500 grams per plant. Plants grow to medium height (3-4 feet indoors, 5-8 feet outdoors) and respond well to training techniques like SCROG, SOG, topping, and fimming. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring warm, sunny conditions outdoors and high-intensity lighting indoors. It shows good resistance to powdery mildew and spider mites but may be susceptible to bud rot in high humidity conditions. Banana Cake requires moderate nutrients and can be slightly sensitive to nitrogen during late flowering.
