Sour Banana
Also known as: Sour Banana Sherbet, Sour Bananas
Overview
Sour Banana is a hybrid cannabis strain that exists in multiple variations from different breeders. The most prominent versions include Sour Banana Sherbet by Crockett Family Farms and Sour Banana by The Plug Seedbank. The Crockett Family Farms version is created by crossing AJ's Sour Diesel with Banana Sherbet, while The Plug Seedbank version crosses AJ's Sour Diesel with Strawberry Banana Cream from Karma Genetics. This strain typically exhibits a 60-70% sativa dominance with 30-40% indica genetics, though some sources report it as a balanced 50/50 hybrid. The strain is characterized by dense, olive green buds with bright orange pistils and a generous coating of white crystal trichomes. The aromatic profile combines sharp, fuel-like diesel notes from its Sour Diesel parentage with sweet, tropical banana and fruity undertones, creating a distinctive sour fruit and fuel flavor profile that appeals to both recreational and medicinal users.

Growing Information
Sour Banana is considered moderately easy to grow and can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors. The strain has a flowering time of 8-10 weeks (56-70 days) with indoor yields ranging from 500-600g/m². Plants exhibit significant stretch during the first 3 weeks of flowering and can grow quite tall, requiring some form of size control or training techniques like LST (Low Stress Training). The strain is known for producing dense, resin-heavy buds that are excellent for hash making. Growers should maintain stable humidity levels and ensure good air circulation to prevent mold, especially given the dense bud structure. Outdoor harvests typically occur in mid-October. The plant develops a solid, dense structure with tight cola buds, making cultivation relatively straightforward for experienced growers.
