Banana OG

The story of Banana OG

Banana OG pairs the OG Kush family with a banana-flavoured banana-kush lineage (creations commonly credited to breeder OrgnKid's Ghost OG work), and the result is one of the fruit-OG hybrids that defined California menus in the 2010s. The conceit is perfect: full OG depth and sedation with an unlikely ripe-banana sweetness on the nose that actually comes through on the smoke.

Terpene breakdown

• Caryophyllene (1.29%): peppery, fuel-adjacent spice underneath.
• Limonene (0.477%): bright citrus lift on top.
• Myrcene (0.443%): the relaxed, body-heavy base.

Banana Og's dominant terp is Caryophyllene, and it leads the flavour on every inhale.

Growing Banana OG

A 8 to 9 week flower with indica structure and moderate stretch. It is a reasonably forgiving OG-family grow with decent yields; the banana ester shows best with a slow cure. Watch humidity with the dense colas late.

How to consume Banana OG

An evening OG: mellow euphoric head, heavy body settle, serious appetite at 20 to 26 percent THC. Gentler than fire-OG heavies but thorough. After-dinner strain; one of the better 'watch a movie and raid the fridge' options on the menu.

Banana OG vs similar strains

Against OG Kush, it is sweeter and slightly more sedating. Versus Banana Kush, the other banana flagship, it runs deeper OG-style body. Fire OG, Tahoe OG and Platinum OG are the heavier OG comparisons, and El Chapo the knockout alternative. Banana OG is the fruit-forward pick in the lane.
