Apples & Bananas Feminized Photoperiod Seeds

Apples and Bananas Strain: Type, Aroma and Flavor

Apples & Bananas is a feminized photoperiod and a balanced hybrid that leans slightly indica (about 60/40). It lives up to its name with a complex, mouth-watering aroma: crisp orchard fruit and baked apple with a spicy, gassy kick, plus a sophisticated tropical earthiness. Its terpene cocktail can smell like an overripe fruit salad left in a mechanic’s garage, and the flavor leans baked orchard fruit with diesel on the palate. The loudest terpenes are myrcene, pinene and beta-caryophyllene. The jar appeal is undeniable: buds that look dipped in sugar and smell like a fruit tart.

How to Grow Apples and Bananas Photoperiod Seeds in a Pot for Pot Kit

Plant one seed in our organic super soil and just add water. It’s a robust, adaptable photoperiod with good crop uniformity: one seed can be trained into a big bush, and you control the vegetative timeline, so you can build a big root system and a strong frame first. It grows with the sturdy structure of a classic indica but has a lust for light and stretches with real vigor when it starts to flower. Start on 18 hours of light and 6 of dark. Because it grows thick and bushy, top it early to break the main tip’s dominance; that encourages side branches and a candelabra shape. When you switch to 12/12, expect a big stretch, often doubling in size, so a trellis net (a “screen of green”) is your best friend: weave the branches through it so light hits every bud site, the lower canopy hardens off, and you avoid popcorn buds.

Apples and Bananas Flowering Time and Plant Size

It’s a photoperiod, so it starts flowering when daylight drops to about 12 hours. Outdoors, plants generally finish in early to mid-October; be patient, because the trichomes often swell and turn cloudy in the very last week. Indoors, you start flowering by switching your lights to 12 hours on, 12 off, and it needs a 9 to 10-week flowering period. Manage its height early with training; it stretches hard in the first weeks of flower and grows long, dense colas.

Growing Apples and Bananas Indoors vs Outdoors

Outdoors: it’s resilient and grows well across US hardiness zones; if you can grow a tomato outside, you can grow this. It loves heat and long summers and prefers a dry autumn to protect its dense structure. Our growers have run it from the humid, cool coast of California to the dry deserts of Oregon. Plant it where it gets the most sun. Because the colas get remarkably dense, airflow is critical: in humid climates, strip the lower third (lollipopping) and defoliate the center in mid-August so wind keeps mold away. It’s in our Cold, Warm and Hot zone collections; find your zone on the USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map.

Indoors: it grows well in a grow tent, even a low-cost DIY setup. In the final weeks, drop room humidity to 40-45% and let night temperatures dip to about 65°F; that brings out purples, preserves the “baked apple” terpenes and builds resin.
