Banana Jealousy
Banana Jealousy
Also known as: Banana Cream Jealousy, Banana Jealousy Cake, Jealous Banana
Overview
Banana Jealousy is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Seed Junky Genetics, resulting from crossing Banana Cream Cake with the 2022 Leafly Strain of the Year, Jealousy. This sophisticated strain represents a deliberate effort to combine the dessert-forward qualities of its parent strains while maintaining the high potency and resin production that Jealousy is known for. The strain displays dense, round flowers with purple hues, vibrant orange pistils, and a heavy coating of trichomes that reflects its premium genetics. Banana Jealousy has gained recognition for its complex terpene profile that balances tropical banana notes with the gassy, dessert-like aromatics inherited from its Jealousy lineage. The strain's development represents the modern cannabis breeding trend toward dessert-forward, high-THC hybrids that appeal to both recreational and medical users. With its robust genetic foundation combining Gelato 41 and Sherbert genetics through Jealousy, crossed with the Wedding Cake lineage present in Banana Cream Cake, this strain offers a sophisticated balance of effects and flavors that has made it increasingly popular among cannabis enthusiasts and cultivators alike.

Growing Information
Banana Jealousy is considered a moderately challenging strain to cultivate, favoring controlled indoor environments due to its dense bud structure and susceptibility to humidity-related issues. The strain typically flowers in 8-9 weeks and produces medium to high yields when grown properly. Plants tend to be short to medium height with indica-dominant growth characteristics. For outdoor cultivation, the strain performs best in greenhouse environments with dehumidification or requires aggressive pruning and morning sun exposure. Harvest timing is crucial - aiming for 10-20% amber trichomes produces the characteristic relaxed profile. The strain requires careful attention to environmental controls and benefits from living soil biology while avoiding over-fertilization in late flowering. Proper drying (18-20°C, 55-60% RH for 10-14 days) and curing (58-62% RH for 3-6 weeks) are essential to preserve the complex terpene profile and aromatic intensity.
