Apples and Bananas Seeds

Genetics & effects

Apples and Bananas is a feminised hybrid listed with a balanced 50% sativa and 50% indica profile. Its lineage brings together Platinum Cookies × Granddaddy Purple × Blue Power × Gelatti, creating a layered cultivar with sweet banana, ripe fruit and warm spice notes. Caryophyllene, limonene and myrcene are the principal listed terpenes.

THC is listed at 23–30%, with CBD at 0–1%. Individual experiences can vary, but some consumers describe the effects as initially euphoric, happy and uplifting, followed by a more relaxed feeling. Its contrasting fruit and spice character may appeal to growers searching for an expressive addition to their feminised seed selection.

Growing in New Zealand

Kiwi Seed Bank presents Apples and Bananas as an intermediate-level cultivar suited to hot, dry or temperate conditions. New Zealand growers should account for substantial regional variation: the upper North Island can offer a longer, warmer season, while southern and elevated locations may have cooler nights and a shorter finishing window.

For outdoor cultivation, spring planting generally falls between September and November. Choose a position with strong light, steady airflow and shelter from severe wind. In humid districts, sensible spacing and regular canopy checks can reduce the risk of mould. Local conditions, cultivation methods and seasonal weather will influence plant size, flowering speed and final output.

Indoor

Indoors, Apples and Bananas is listed to reach up to 130 cm. The stated flowering period is approximately 9–10 weeks, making height planning important before the flowering stage begins. A well-managed canopy can help distribute light across productive sites, while airflow above and below the foliage supports an even environment.

• Height: up to 130 cm
• Flowering: approximately 9–10 weeks
• Listed yield: up to 600 g/m²
• Difficulty: intermediate

Stable temperatures and humidity are preferable, especially as flowers gain density. Avoid overcrowding and inspect plants routinely so environmental issues can be addressed early. The sweet, fruity aroma may become pronounced late in flowering, so suitable odour management may be useful in enclosed spaces.

Outdoor

Outdoors, plants are listed to reach up to 200 cm and may produce up to 1,000 g per plant in favourable conditions. These figures are reference points rather than assured outcomes. A sunny, open site with free-draining soil is a practical match for the cultivar’s stated hot, dry and temperate climate preferences.

Support may be helpful as branches develop heavier flowers. Coastal humidity, prolonged autumn rain and cool overnight conditions can all affect performance, so site selection is particularly important.

Harvest

In New Zealand’s southern-hemisphere cycle, outdoor harvest commonly falls from March to May. Exact timing depends on planting date, latitude, phenotype and autumn weather. Monitor flower development closely rather than relying on the calendar alone, and plan for dry handling conditions to preserve the cultivar’s banana, fruity, spicy and sweet character.
