Bannana OG
OG Kush × Banana Kush
Bannana OG, often misspelled, is a hybrid cultivar celebrated for its distinct creamy banana aroma layered with classic OG fuel notes. This strain is prized for a potent, creeping high and a terpene profile frequently dominated by limonene.
Appearance
Bannana OG typically develops dense, spear-shaped buds and golf-ball-sized colas, characteristic of OG Kush varieties. The flowers exhibit lime to olive green hues, often interspersed with amber or honey-orange pistils. Under optimal lighting, bracts may display subtle lime-gold tones, all covered in a thick, glassy layer of trichomes that gives the buds a frosted appearance.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Bannana OG is a complex blend of ripe banana and vanilla cream, complemented by subtle baking spices, all grounded by an OG Kush base of petrol and earthy spice. Consumers often detect notes reminiscent of banana pudding or bread. Upon inhalation, flavors of creamy banana custard and vanilla wafer are prominent, followed by an exhale that carries OG fuel, pine, and black pepper notes.
Effects
Bannana OG is known for delivering a potent and creeping high that can vary from relaxing to deeply sedating, depending on the dosage. Users often report feelings of calmness and giggliness. Its sedating qualities make it a popular choice for evening use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
This cultivar typically tests as a high-THC strain, with THC levels frequently ranging from 20-27%. CBD content is generally below 1%, though minor cannabinoids like CBG may be present in small amounts. The terpene profile is often limonene-dominant, with other notable terpenes including myrcene and caryophyllene, contributing to its unique aroma and effects.
Origins & Lineage
Emerging from the West Coast cannabis scene in the mid-to-late 2000s, Bannana OG is widely believed to be a cross between OG Kush and a banana-scented selection, often referred to as Banana or Banana Kush. It has become a popular breeding parent, contributing its distinctive aroma and potency to numerous hybrids.
