Banana OG

# Banana OG ## Quick Take Banana OG is a West Coast hybrid credited to breeder OrgnKid, built by crossing a banana-scented male with an OG Kush female. The defining trait is an unusually literal overripe-banana aroma sitting on earth, pine, and OG funk. Its other defining trait is timing: consumers very commonly describe a creeper that arrives later and heavier than the first few minutes suggest. ## History and Background OrgnKid is a genuine figure in West Coast breeding history — a name that surfaced on 1990s cannabis forums like Overgrow and stayed relevant across a roughly 30-year run that also produced Ghost OG and Blackberry Kush. The Banana OG origin story he is credited with is specific enough to be checkable. He won a bag of seeds at auction on Seed Bay, grew them out, and found short, stocky plants with very thin branches and a strong banana smell. He kept that population, selected a male from it, and crossed it to an OG Kush female. That cross became Banana OG. ## Breeder, Brand, and Genetics This is where the record needs care, because more than one Banana OG exists and the accounts do not agree. The version tied to OrgnKid is described in two different ways. The most widely repeated lineage is Banana Kush crossed with OG Kush. But The Cannigma reports that OrgnKid himself described the banana-smelling parent as an old-school Skunk #1 x Haze rather than Banana Kush — later crossed to OG Kush. Those are materially different claims, and no breeder documentation settles it. Separately, California seed bank Apothecary Genetics released its own Banana OG, documented by SeedFinder as an OG Kush male crossed to a Banana Kush female, mostly indica, with a flowering time around 53 days. Same name, different house, similar sensory direction. That is consistent with the origin story — banana-scented male, OG Kush female — and it has the advantage of not overstating what the banana parent actually was. ## Aroma, Flavor, and Flower The most consistent description is overripe banana, not bright candy banana. Reports describe candied banana over the real fruit, with tropical sweetness on top and earthy kush, wood, pine, and citrus underneath. Some batches lean creamy; others open up more fuel and soil as the flower breaks. Published terpene data from The Cannigma puts limonene first, followed by myrcene, caryophyllene, and pinene — figures that belong to the samples tested, not to every jar. Cure and storage decide whether the delicate fruit note survives to you at all. OrgnKid's original plants were described as short and stocky with thin branches. Commercial flower is typically compact and frosty with orange-to-copper pistils, though structure varies with selection and environment. ## Reported Effects and Best Fit Relaxation, euphoria, and happiness dominate consumer reports, with dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness as the common tradeoffs. The Apothecary version carries an explicit creeper reputation, with generous doses described as leaving people deeply sedated, then hungry and sleepy. The delayed arc is not guaranteed, but it is reported often enough to be worth planning around: wait before reaching for more. That pattern makes Banana OG a more natural fit for an unhurried evening than a deadline. One honest note on the chemistry: limonene-dominant profiles are usually associated with brighter effects, which sits oddly against the heavy reports here. The Cannigma flags that mismatch rather than explaining it away, and neither will we. ## Final Take Banana OG is OrgnKid's banana-male x OG Kush cross — real overripe fruit over earth, pine, and fuel, with a widely reported slow build. Check which Banana OG you have, OrgnKid's or Apothecary's, before assuming the lineage on the label.
