Genetics and lineage
Banana Runtz F1 is a feminised photoperiod variety from Barney's Farm, classed as indica / sativa hybrid. The breeder lists its parentage as Runtz x Banana OG. Potency is rated very high THC (25%+), which places it at the top end of the current catalogue — not a strain for a first grow or a first smoke.
Planning a grow of Banana Runtz F1
Indoors, plan on roughly 13–15 weeks from seed to harvest: about 4 weeks of vegetative growth before switching to 12/12, then 9–11 weeks of flowering.
Outdoors in central Europe a 9–11 week flowering window means harvest lands in mid-to-late October — workable in a dry autumn, but a greenhouse or a sheltered south-facing spot takes the risk out. In southern France, Spain and Italy it is an easy outdoor plant.
What yield to expect
The breeder rates indoor yield as high yield (450-600gr/m2). Outdoors the rating is high yield (450-750gr/plant), which assumes a full season in good sun and a large container or open soil. Treat these as the ceiling under experienced hands; a first grow typically lands at half to two-thirds of the figure.
Aroma and effect
Growers describe the terpene profile as creamy and sweet. The effect is reported as uplifting.
