Banana Glue was born when Growers Choice put its Strawberry Banana male together with a Gorilla Glue #4 mother. From the offspring, the breeders kept one standout plant that shows roughly half of each parent: the full fruit of Strawberry Banana and the famously sticky resin of the Gorilla.
After drying and curing, the bottoms of the breeder’s glass jars were coated with fallen trichomes, and opening a single jar was enough to make the whole office smell of weed within seconds. That is the kind of loud, resinous personality Banana Glue brings to the table.
This 70% Indica / 30% Sativa feminized strain carries 24-26% THC and medium CBD, according to Growers Choice. It flowers in just 8 weeks and yields 650-750 g/m² (2.13-2.46 oz/ft²) indoors. Unlike the original Gorilla Glue, it is stable and easy to grow.
Plants are medium tall with lots of side branches: 90-120 cm (35-47 in) indoors and 150-200 cm (59-79 in) outdoors, with harvest in the first week of October.
Flavor and Effects: Sticky Sweetness With Real Muscle
The taste is very sweet and fruity, with ripe banana and strawberry candy notes at the front. Behind that sugar comes a strong, thick smoke that carries the earthy, piney punch of Gorilla Glue. The aroma is intense enough to fill a room almost instantly.
It is like biting into a strawberry-banana smoothie poured over warm pine resin: sweet first, sticky and heavy right behind it.
Despite the indica lean, Banana Glue relaxes without knocking you out. Growers Choice describes it as a strain you can smoke during the day; the body loosens and the mood softens, but the mind stays present enough to enjoy a conversation or a good series.
It is a perfect partner for movie nights, music, or an easy-going afternoon. With 24-26% THC, though, it is still potent, so start with a modest amount.
Growing Banana Glue
Banana Glue grows medium tall with many side branches, which makes it very well suited to SCROG. Extend the 18-hour vegetative period to let the branches fill a screen, then flip to 12/12. The breeder does not recommend sea of green, as heavy manipulation such as topping could bring out the more temperamental Gorilla Glue traits.
Look after it well and it rewards you with sweet, smelly, sticky flowers. Feed moderately, keep humidity under control, and pay attention to airflow: mold resistance is average, and those resin-heavy buds are dense. A strong carbon filter is essential in late bloom.
Outdoors, Banana Glue prefers medium-warm climates. Plant in a sunny spot, expect a height of up to 200 cm (79 in), and plan your harvest for the first week of October.
