Growing Tips & Our Take

Banana Ice Cream is the kind of strain that makes growing feel effortless, even if you’re not a seasoned cultivator.

It’s naturally resistant to pests and common plant diseases, which means less stress and fewer surprises along the way.

Cool climates suit it best, but it adapts well to controlled indoor environments with temperatures around 18-22°C (65-72°F).

To maximize its yield, we recommend using Low-Stress Training (LST) techniques, which help keep the plant manageable and improve bud production.

Good ventilation is key, especially indoors, to prevent humidity buildup and ensure those dense buds stay mold-free.

Its sturdy branches support its weight well, but a little extra support during flowering can help prevent breakage.

Watering should be moderate—letting the topsoil dry between sessions helps avoid root rot and keeps the plant thriving.

We love how Banana Ice Cream grows with a strong, bushy structure yet remains easy to train and shape for better light penetration.

Watching its deep green buds develop hints of orange and purple is a visual treat, and its frosty trichome coverage is a clear sign of its potency.
