Banana Hammock Rbx is a showpiece. Ethos Genetics crossed Grape God with Mandarin Sunset and produced a feminized photoperiod that grows massive purple flowers on thick vertical stalks, wrapped in heavy honey, grape and tropical terpenes with a skunky edge. It looks as good as it smells, and that makes it a welcome addition to any garden.
It is also practical: flowering takes about 56-60 days, it thrives indoors, in greenhouses and outdoors, and the effect is classic indica-hybrid. Ethos lists the TAC at 22-25%.
Lineage and Breeding
Grape God supplies the purple color, the grape terpenes and the dense, heavy flowers. Mandarin Sunset, one of the foundations of the Ethos Mandarin line, adds citrus brightness, tropical sweetness and vigor. Banana Hammock also became a parent in its own right, since Ethos used Banana Hammock R1 to breed Banana Daddy R1.
The Rbx code stands for reversed backcross. A reversed female is used to cross the line back toward its own genetics, which helps lock in the traits the breeder selected for. The seeds are feminized, and the backcross makes this one of the more focused Ethos seeds for color and terpene hunters.
Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The aroma is thick and sweet: wildflower honey poured over grapes, with a heavy tropical layer underneath. A musky, skunky note sits underneath and keeps the profile from turning too sugary. On the palate it stays smooth and fruity, with a faint orange and grapefruit lift on the exhale.
Ethos describes the effect as classic indica-hybrid. It starts with a gentle mental lift and then settles comfortably into the body. It suits relaxed evenings and slow weekends, and the striking purple buds make every session look good too.
Growing Banana Hammock Rbx Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, Banana Hammock Rbx grows medium to tall with medium internode spacing. Thick vertical stalks are built to support big colas, but topping and some LST still help even out the canopy and keep the taller plants within reach of the lights. A trellis net adds support once the purple flowers start to swell.
Color usually deepens in the second half of bloom, and a slight drop in night temperatures near the end can push the purple further. Keep humidity in check and airflow strong to protect those large, dense flowers.
It is fast to flower and functional in any garden. Outdoors and in greenhouses, the 56-60 day bloom helps it finish before late-season rain. Ethos rates it for intermediate to pro growers and lists the yield as average, with color and aroma as the main rewards.
