Banangie
Banangie
Also known as: Sour Banangie, Banana Tangie
Overview
Banangie is a modern hybrid cannabis strain that emerged during the 2010s and early 2020s, representing the era's focus on dessert-meets-citrus cultivars. Created through crossing Banana Kush and Tangie, this strain combines two of cannabis's most beloved flavor profiles - creamy banana and zesty orange citrus. The strain name is a clear portmanteau suggesting its intentional banana-citrus genetic mashup. While not a standardized, breeder-stamped release, Banangie has gained popularity through grassroots cultivation and distribution, resulting in some variation between sources and phenotypes.
Physically, Banangie produces fluffy, rounded forest green nugs with rich amber-gold undertones, long thin orange hairs, and a frosty coating of amber-tinted crystal trichomes. The strain is renowned for its exceptional aroma, which many users report as seductive and distinctive. The scent profile blends tropical fruit notes with earthy undertones and citrus accents, creating a complex bouquet that combines creamy sweetness with tangerine-forward citrus rather than harsh lemon cleaner notes. This terpene-rich profile has made Banangie particularly appealing to both cannabis enthusiasts and newer consumers seeking flavorful experiences.

Growing Information
Banangie is considered very easy to grow and tolerates various mediums and nutrient levels. The strain tends to ripen quickly with a flowering time of approximately 60 days (8-9 weeks). Plants typically reach medium height and benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yields. Indoor cultivation produces generous yields of dense, trichome-coated buds, while outdoor cultivation thrives in warm, sunny climates. Growers appreciate the strain's resin output and market appeal, though proper humidity management, training, and careful post-harvest curing are essential to capture its full aromatic potential. Regular feeding and proper ventilation are recommended for optimal growth.
