The Cross
Two plants selected on flavor rather than on anything else, crossed.
The Parents
Banana Kush is OrgnKid‘s work. He is the breeder who tracked down the original OG Kush clone in California and paid five thousand dollars plus five pounds for it, then recouped it selling S1 seeds and clones. Ghost OG came out of one of those sales.
Purple Punch is Larry OG crossed to Granddaddy Purple.
What’s In The Pack
Six feminized photoperiod seeds. Large, fluffy flowers with amber trichome coverage and pumpkin colored pistils. No restocks planned.
In The Garden
70-80 days. Indica dominant.

Banana Punch
2022 Outdoor grow
Hardiness Zone 6b
As usual with any new seeds …. I rarely wish to devote precious indoor space towards unknown genetics, so I ran some outdoors (late in the season to keep it small) and not really expecting much as neither my climate nor location is ideal.
This turned out to be quite the sleeper! Vigorous growth requiring daily tying down to keep it low and inconspicuous resulting in the ideal multi cola bush ….. Even though seeds started late in the season trying to avoid growing a massive plant.
Early finisher too! By second week in October senescence was in full force and plant undeniably mature via scoping trichomes.
Sticky, sticky, sticky! And a pretty heavy hitter! After drying and curing in jars ….. The buds stick to the sides of the jars and the entire insides of the glass are coated with stickiness (ven though care was taken to not rough handle the jar or the buds inside)
Smell/taste definitely leans heavy towards its Banana lineage, but it does retain just a slight fruity/grape back end to it making it tough to describe…… rotting banana grapey fruit are the best words I can come up with and the taste is similar.
Really impressed with this one especially since it was grown in a subpar outdoor environment with little attempt to maximize efforts. Buds were fairly dense considering the plant only received direct sun for partial hours a day..
Grown in organic “no-till” 7 gal cloth pot that I’ve been growing in for almost 12 yrs amending soil yearly.
Yield was nearly 3 oz which was also impressive considering the late start, size of pot and the growing conditions.
For my tastes its definitely a nighttime option and heavy smoke that tend to decimate any plans for activity afterwards.
Clones taken to run indoors to see what it can do under optimal conditions – I have no doubt it will be impressive.
Easy grower – zero issues or complications. I have a few more packs of these and this one plant definitely initiated plans shortly for a pheno hunt grow ….. I highly doubt I got lucky enough to find the best phenotype with one seed ……. I have high hopes and expectations for the differing phenos I’ll find within this cross going forwards.
Grab a few packs of these! You will NOT be disappointed!
Sorry about the shitty jar pic ….. unfortunately I didn’t take any plant pictures, because I honestly wasn’t expecting much to come from this outdoor, late start, single plant grow…… Boy was I mistaken!
This was a very resilient strain that produced giant buds. I germinated 3 seeds and they all popped with no problem. They seemed to grow better in low humidity. Would highly recommend.
Did a quick grow all organic with composed tea and promix BX the plants loved it I definitely have a ripe banana smell with a candy grape buds are nice and dense with lots of frost. All seeds popped within 2 days and grew flawlessly very good strain for beginners and pros A++++
Great everytime!
Strong good solid smoke…not as dense as I would like but temps may have played a part…no hermies and all phenos were actually pretty good..bought more packs…says it all
Popped 2 from the pack have one still vegging and getting big, rushed the other into flower now coming into week five with nice dense nugs forming and a great smell leaning more towards the Banana side can’t wait for her to fully develop!! Easy grow with pH around 6.3 she’s loving the 0-50-30 I been feeding her. Definitely a must have!!
Banana Punch grown in Fox Farm, given cal-mag and blue planet nutrients. She vegged for 8 weeks. These pics are at the end of week 8 of flower. This strain is definately a grower! Tallest ones in the tent.
My plant turned out to be beautiful, healthy and great bud. It’s got a taste similar to the name and it’s parents with a skunky undertone. I’ve grown 7 different strains now and I’m happy with the way they all turned out.
First time with her, but she was a Great date. 100% satisfaction . She is in week 6 and doing Amazing . Hope you like the pics. N.E.Ohio sends its love.
