Banana Kush by Crockett
6 other breeders' versions of Banana Kush — compare flowering times side by side →
Man, if you were hanging around the boards back in the day, you know the arguments over Banana Kush were endless. There's this massive split on who actually birthed it. Cali Kush claims they hit an OG Kush with a male Banana plant, but the real heads and old-school breeders swear by Crockett Family Farms. The Crockett cut is said to be a killer cross of Ghost OG and a Skunk/Haze hybrid. That Ghost OG lineage is what gives it that undeniable gas and density, while the Skunk/Haze brought out the wild tropical terps. Since there was never a single, undisputed clone-only cut that cornered the market, everybody and their brother started dropping their own IBLs and variations. But if you get your hands on Crockett's original gear, you know exactly what you're holding.
Growing this one isn't just a plug-and-play operation. Guys over on THCFarmer and Rollitup always warned about the stretch. When you flip the lights to 12/12, Banana Kush wants to climb, and if your canopy management isn't dialed in, it'll take over your tent. She feeds heavy and really thrives in a dialed-in warm, humid environment. You'll usually see two main phenotypes: one that stays a bit tighter and finishes with dense, golf-ball buds, and another that leans into the Haze genetics with a more spear-like structure. Trimming her can be a bit of a chore compared to modern cookies crosses, but the resin production is absolute madness.
When you crack a jar of proper Banana Kush, it straight up smells like a bag of overripe bananas left in a pine forest. You get this intense, sweet tropical fruit funk up front, immediately followed by classic OG earth and citrus. The smoke is incredibly smooth. And the high? It hits you right between the eyes with a buzzy, euphoric rush before melting down into your limbs. It's an indica-dominant sledgehammer masking itself as a fruit salad. Most guys ran this specifically for their nighttime headstash, knocking out stress and sleep issues without completely putting you in a coma on the first hit.

Growing Banana Kush: what to expect
As an indica-leaning plant, expect a modest stretch after the flip (roughly 50–100%) and dense bud structure — which makes late-flower humidity discipline the main risk: keep RH in the 40s once buds fatten to stay ahead of mold. Growers familiar with Skunk or Ghost OG will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
