How to grow Banana Bomb
Taste
Seb's take
THC Bomb crossed with Banana Kush, indica-heavy and considerably more resilient than her explosive name implies — good resistance to cold, mould, and pests either way. Tropical fruit and sweet earth on the nose, with a relaxed, happy, euphoric high and yields to match her name.
Where it comes from
Bomb Seeds crossed THC Bomb with Banana Kush here, the record naming both, to produce an indica-heavy hybrid rather more resilient than the explosive name implies. THC Bomb lends the potency and the yield; Banana Kush the sweetness and the fruit. Good resistance to cold, mould and pests comes as part of the package. A sturdy, forgiving plant behind a loud label, and one the record rightly points newer growers towards.
Nose & flavour
Tropical fruit and sweetness at the front, with an earthy base beneath, the Banana Kush parent showing plainly in the ripe, fruity character. A rounded, approachable nose that leans dessert rather than diesel. Pleasant and full, with nothing sharp to catch out a newer palate. An easy aroma to like, and a welcoming one.
The high
Relaxed, happy and euphoric, a comfortable, good-humoured experience with the indica heaviness settling in behind the initial lift. At 20 to 22% THC there is real weight to it, so the cheerful fruit nose should not be mistaken for a lightweight. A pleasant, even slide towards the evening. Good company for winding down rather than stepping out.
Growing it
A robust, forgiving plant, the record praising her resistance to cold, mould and pests, which makes her suit indoors and out alike. She reaches 90 to 140cm, or up to 1.4m indoors and 1.8m outdoors, flowering in 49 to 63 days for 500 to 600 g/m², with outdoor growers bringing in upwards of 450g per plant. Heavy yields either way. A hardy, generous plant, forgiving of enthusiasm and productive with it.
