Banana Stardawg
Banana Stardawg
Also known as: Banana Star Dawg
Overview
Banana Stardawg is a versatile hybrid cannabis strain celebrated for its exotic tropical banana aroma, powerful effects, and generous yields. Created by Dankonomics Genetics, this balanced hybrid (roughly 50% indica / 50% sativa) was developed by crossing a clone-only Banana Kush with Stardawg #2, resulting in a strain that delights the senses with a fruity, sweet flavor layered over classic diesel undertones. The strain features an amazing array of terpenes that produce aromas ranging from banana and candy through to very diesel/fuel influenced Chemdog/Headband characteristics, depending on the specific phenotype. Due to its mixed genetic background, growers may encounter several different phenotypes, with some plants leaning taller with more sativa-like traits while others stay shorter and bushier like an indica. The strain's Chemdog roots introduce some of the pungent diesel aroma that cuts through the sweetness, while the Banana Kush lineage contributes a euphoric, calming kush high. Banana Stardawg has earned recognition among both recreational users and growers for its balanced indica-sativa lineage, exceptionally high THC levels, and resilient growing traits that produce strong yields of top-quality, resinous buds. The strain's resin production is so high that growers often remark it's perfect for making concentrates like hash, rosin, or oils.

Growing Information
Banana Stardawg is rated as moderately easy to cultivate and can be grown indoors, outdoors, or in greenhouses with success. The strain shows good versatility and adaptability to different growing mediums including soil, coco coir, or hydroponic systems. Flowering time ranges from 8-12 weeks depending on phenotype, with most plants finishing around 9-10 weeks under 12/12 lighting. Outdoor harvest typically occurs in October, with some later-flowering phenotypes not ready until the very end of the month. Indoor plants typically reach 3-5 feet tall when trained, while outdoor plants can exceed 6 feet if unrestricted. The strain produces exceptional yields, with reports of 500+ grams per square meter (19+ ounces) indoors under expert care, making it a favorite among growers seeking high production. Plants develop large, weighty buds that may require support through trellising or staking. A warm continental or Mediterranean climate is ideal for outdoor cultivation, and the strain shows good resistance to various growing conditions when basic care requirements are met.
