Banana OG
Also known as: Nana OG, Nana
Breeder: OrgnKid
Banana OG is an indica-dominant hybrid created by OrgnKid by crossing Ghost OG with a Banana phenotype of Sagarmatha Seeds' 60/40. Famous for its overripe banana aroma and delayed-onset potency, it has become one of the most prolific parent strains in modern cannabis with 175 direct descendants on SeedFinder, including Strawberry Banana and Banana Punch.
Lineage & Genetics
Cross: Ghost OG x Sagarmatha 60/40 (Banana pheno)
Ghost OG is a clone-only OG Kush phenotype known for extreme potency and fuel/pine aromatics. The Sagarmatha 60/40 father was a competition prize (won on Seed Bay) that produced short, stocky plants with ultra-thin branches and a pronounced banana terpene expression that OrgnKid selected for the cross.
Terpene Profile
Myrcene — Drives the overripe banana and tropical musk aroma; contributes heavy body sedation
Limonene — Adds citrus peel brightness that lifts the initial onset before the indica body takes over
Caryophyllene — Provides peppery spice and anti-inflammatory depth
Bisabolol — Contributes creamy, floral sweetness and gentle calming effects
Aroma: Overripe banana and candied banana dominate with cinnamon, diesel fuel, earthy pine, and creamy gas undertones
Flavor: Banana cream and fuel on inhale with pepper, citrus peel, and herbal earth on exhale
Effects & Experience
Onset: Delayed 'creeper' onset — euphoric cerebral lift appears 5–10 minutes after consumption
Initial euphoria gives way to deeply relaxing full-body sedation. Strong appetite stimulation. Known as a 'creeper' that fools users into overconsumption before the heavy indica effects lock in.
Duration: 3–4 hours; sedative comedown often leads to sleep
Commonly Reported Uses
Growing Characteristics
Grow Tips: Lanky in veg but packs on significant weight in the final 3 weeks of flower. Dense buds need strong airflow to prevent mold. Heavy resin producer favored by concentrate makers.
History & Origin
OrgnKid won a bag of Sagarmatha Seeds' 60/40 in an auction on Seed Bay. He found short, stocky plants with ultra-thin branches and a strong banana smell, then crossed a male Banana pheno to his Ghost OG female. The result became a clone-only legend in California that spawned an entire family of banana-flavored strains. Banana OG won 2nd Place Best Indica Concentrate at the 2015 High Times NorCal Medical Cannabis Cup (entered by Crockett Family Farms).
