At least two genetically distinct lines circulate under the name Blue Banana, and neither can be traced to a breeder with a publication date. The oldest identifiable trace leads to Southern California: an experience report from 2012 described a cross of Blueberry and Banana OG Private Reserve there, marketed as Blue Banana OG. Widely circulated strain descriptions, by contrast, trace the name back to Blue Dream and Banana OG.
Genetics and Origin:
Several strain descriptions consistently name Blue Dream and Banana OG as parents and classify the result as a balanced hybrid with 50 % indica and 50 % sativa. Captain Seeds lists Blueberry and a Banana line for its own version and classifies it as indica-dominant. The Italian breeding by Terpethic shares neither: there, Blue Banana was created from a female Blue Cheese by Big Buddha Seeds and a female Ice Cream Banana by Sin City Seeds, combining the cheese-and-berry side with a banana line.
Aroma and Flavor:
The aroma profile remains consistent across sources: ripe banana, fresh blueberry, plus a spicy note reminiscent of tree fruit. In flavor, the berry comes forward, underlaid by banana and earthy spice. Some reports reverse the order and describe sweet, creamy banana as dominant. Caryophyllene is named as the dominant terpene, followed by terpinolene and myrcene; one producer ranks myrcene ahead of terpinolene.
Effects:
Experience reports describe a fairly quick onset that unfolds in waves: uplifted mood and creative drive first, followed by physical relaxation without pronounced heaviness. Several reports note that activities remain possible throughout. Dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness are named as side effects. The 2012 report classifies the strength as medium, with a medium to longer duration.
THC and CBD Content:
Strain descriptions list 21 % THC and 1 % CBG, while another gives 23 to 31 % THC without disclosing the origin of these figures. Providers state their own versions independently: Crop King Seeds names 21 % THC and 1 % CBD, Captain Seeds 18 to 24 % THC at under 1 % CBD.
Cultivation:
Terpethic states around 63 days of flowering for its own version and describes it as fast-flowering, suited for indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation. The stretch is notable: the breeder states a tripling of height after the onset of flowering and an additional nitrogen application at that point. According to this description, bud mass concentrates on one large central main bud.
Versions from Different Breeders:
Crop King Seeds lists its own version, described as Blue Dream x Banana OG, with 8 to 10 weeks of flowering, 16 ounces per square meter indoors, 18 to 21 ounces per plant outdoors, a growth height of up to 4 feet, harvest in early October, and a temperate climate. Captain Seeds names 8 to 10 weeks for the indica-dominant version as well, along with 400 to 500 g/m² indoors, 400 to 800 g per plant outdoors, a growth height of 80 to 140 cm, a warm, temperate, or Mediterranean climate, and a medium difficulty level. All three versions are listed exclusively as feminized seeds.
