Lineage
Banana Kush’s unique aroma and low-THC content come from its cannabis parents: Ghost OG and Skunk Haze. Ghost OG comes from a cut of OG Kush and passes on its citrus aroma and grassy undertones as well as its beefy bud size.
Skunk Haze gives Banana Kush its signature banana aroma and flavor. Skunk Haze has an earthy and musky smell that combines with Ghost OG’s terpenes to create a cornucopia of tropical fruity flavors. Skunk Haze’s balanced THC:CBD ratio makes Banana Kush a perfect strain for when you need a clear-headed buzz.

Looks
