Banana Melt
Banana Melt
Overview
Banana Melt is an emerging cannabis strain developed by Humboldt Seed Company, representing a modern approach to fruit-forward hybrid cannabis breeding. This strain is created by crossing Banana Melt Bx3, Blue Dream, and Squirt, resulting in a balanced genetic heritage with approximately a 50/50 split between indica and sativa traits. The strain is an emerging, dessert-leaning hybrid name appearing on dispensary menus across multiple legal markets in 2024–2025, gaining recognition for its distinctive profile and potency.
Visually, Banana Melt produces compact and dense buds boasting an array of vibrant hues that include deep forest greens with hints of lime and occasional flashes of purple. Some phenotypes even display hints of purple on the buds, with dense, resin-soaked colas that sparkle like they're dusted with sugar. The strain is known for its high resin production, making it ideal for rosin, hash, live resin, and other concentrates. Indoor growers can expect a flowering time of around 63 days, while outdoors, plants are typically ready for harvest between October 1st and 10th.

Growing Information
Banana Melt is beginner-friendly with strong resistance to pests and diseases. The strain has a fast flowering time of 8-9 weeks and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing. Plants tend to grow tall, so topping is recommended. The strain is ideal for novice growers as it quickly recovers from stress. Indoors, it can reach yields of up to 500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoors very generous harvests can be obtained with adequate space. While preferring warm, sunny weather, Banana Melt can handle cooler temperatures during late flowering and is versatile enough for various climates as long as there's no extreme frost.
