Uses
The therapeutic combination of terpenes in Banana Hammock can be utilised in a variety of conditions.
Firstly, the strain can be a soothing balm for those battling mood disorders. The uplifting limonene and calming myrcene work together to temporarily relieve symptoms of anxiety and depression, allowing the mind to break free from the clutches of stress and negativity.
Moreover, its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties, supported by caryophyllene, can provide relief from physical discomforts such as chronic pain, inflammation, muscle spasms and migraines. It is also a good strain of choice for dealing with nausea – Banana Hammock will likely stimulate the appetite and make food more digestible.
Side effects
Banana Hammock has vastly varying THC content, so you can never be sure what you will get. Therefore, it can be easy to overconsume. Then, the strain may give you headaches and contribute to feelings of paranoia and anxiety, especially if you are prone to mental health conditions. You can also expect the common sensations of dry eyes and cottonmouth. To minimise the risk of these adverse effects occurring, practise responsible consumption.
Keep this strain to weekends and evenings when you have little to do. Otherwise, it may make you sluggish.
Taste & Smell
Fruity
Earthy
SweetBanana Hammock is a sensory spectacle, starting with the sheer beauty of its buds. These large, pepper-shaped nuggets are intertwined with vivid orange pistils and covered in a thick coating of trichomes, with many phenotypes exhibiting striking hues of purple. The strain’s aroma is an alluring mix of sweet tropical fruitiness, rich honey notes and subtle earthy undertones, transporting your mind to a sunny day at the beach. Interestingly, you will not taste many banana notes despite a strong fruity taste. Instead, you can expect a rich blend of ripe grapes, berries and invigorating fresh citrus, with a bit of a honey drizzle and a dash of vanilla – a flavour hard to resist.

Origins
When a strain is developed by the master breeders at Ethos Genetics, you know you are in for a good time. Yet again, they brought about some happiness and delightful memories of a day at the beach with the creation of Banana Hammock. This summery hybrid came about from the cross of two fruity strains, Grape God and Mandarin Sunset, inheriting their tropical paradise vibes.
Growing conditions
Banana Hammock will thrive best under the careful, attentive eye of an experienced grower. The plant is susceptible to mould and fungus, so the heat and humidity levels must be constantly monitored. It needs a lot of space to develop its long, thick branches fully. Topping the plant midway through the growing season will ensure the best yields.
Expect the buds to pop up around 8 to 9 weeks after vegetative phase. Under ideal conditions, the harvest is abundant – between 600 to 800 grams per square metre indoors and around 600 grams per plant outdoors.
