Bruised Bananas Feminized Seeds – DNA Genetics’ Banana-Chocolate Hybrid

Bruised Bananas Feminized Seeds by DNA Genetics deliver a unique, dessert-inspired cannabis experience with high yields, easy growth, and a perfectly balanced high that’s both uplifting and relaxing.

Ever feel like your grow just lacks that wow factor—something truly special in flavor and effect that makes all the effort worth it?

You’re not alone. Many growers chase novelty but end up with finicky plants, weak yields, or flavors that don’t live up to the hype. The disappointment is real: you invest time, space, and nutrients only to harvest something forgettable.

Bruised Bananas solves that. Born from the legendary Purple Chocolope and Honey Banana, it’s a stable, vigorous hybrid that’s forgiving for beginners yet rewarding for experts. It’s not just another strain—it’s your ticket to growing a true sensory standout with minimal stress.

Why Bruised Bananas Stands Out in Flavor and Effect

This hybrid hits your senses like a gourmet dessert: ripe banana and creamy honey upfront, layered with rich chocolate, coffee, and a hint of citrus. The smoke is smooth, sweet, and complex—no harshness, just pure indulgence.

Effects are equally balanced: a quick cerebral spark of euphoria and creativity (thanks to its Chocolope sativa side) melts into a gentle, full-body calm (courtesy of Honey Banana’s indica influence). It’s social, functional, and perfect for daytime or evening—never couch-locking, always satisfying.

Stages and monitoring of Bruised Bananas

Quick overview: Photoperiod hybrid by DNA Genetics, 8–10 week flower, easy for beginners, ideal for indoor SOG or sunny outdoor spots.

• Germinate at 22–25°C with high humidity; transplant when radicle is ~1 cm.
• For strong roots from day one, try Raziel Lite (Liquid rooting).
• Use 11–20 L pots indoors; outdoors, go big (50 L+) or plant directly in rich soil.
• Train early with ScrOG or topping to maximize canopy and yield.
• Keep RH at 40–50% in flower to prevent mold on dense buds.

Flowering boost: In mid-flower, add a PK booster to swell those chocolate-dipped banana colas.

• Use Top Mass - Top Crop for denser, resinous buds.
• Prune large fan leaves to improve light penetration and airflow.
• Monitor trichomes from week 8—milky for energetic high, amber for relaxed.
• Flush 7–10 days before harvest for a smoother smoke.

Harvest & cure: Dry at 18–22°C and 50–60% RH for 7–10 days, then cure in jars for 2–4 weeks.

• Use Charbiel (Drying Optimiser) to preserve terpenes and speed drying.
• Burp jars daily during curing to prevent moisture buildup.
• Expect sticky, purple-tinged buds with intense banana-chocolate aroma.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Bruised Bananas good for beginners?

How strong is the smell during flowering?

It prefers warm, sunny conditions. In cooler zones, use a greenhouse or ensure full sun exposure and protection from wind and rain.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I’ve grown Bruised Bananas twice now—once indoors under LED and once outdoors in late summer. Indoors, I used ScrOG in 15L pots and hit 550 g/m² with insane purple hues. Outdoors, it shot past 1.8 m and gave me nearly 850 g of frosty, sticky buds by early October. The flavor? Exactly like a banana smoothie with honey and dark cocoa—unreal. My only rookie mistake early on was overwatering seedlings; once I eased up, it thrived. Now, I always start with Raziel Lite for roots and never skip the flush. This strain is a keeper—easy, productive, and unforgettable.
