Banana Splitz

Cannabis Strain by Knock Out Genetics

Introduction
Banana Splitz arrives from Knock Out Genetics — a small organic regular seed company founded in 2019, based in the Canary Islands. The subtropical climate of the Canary Islands, sitting off the Northwest African coast, provides growing conditions distinct from the Pacific Northwest or Mediterranean European contexts where most cannabis breeding occurs: warm, relatively dry, and consistently sunny, which shapes both the practical genetics priorities and the aromatic profiles that Knock Out develops.

Lineage
The name references the banana split, the classic American ice cream dessert — banana, ice cream, and toppings — suggesting an aromatic target that is sweet, creamy, and layered rather than simply fruity. Knock Out Genetics works exclusively with regular, non-feminised seeds, reflecting a breeding philosophy that preserves genetic diversity and allows growers to select their own phenotypes. The company was founded in 2019, making it a relatively young operation still developing its public reputation. Banana Splitz is a mostly indica hybrid completing in approximately 65 days — a standard indica-dominant timeline that allows full terpene development before harvest. Specific genetic parentage is not publicly documented.

Terpenes
The terpene profile targets the banana split concept: myrcene-forward banana sweetness layered with the creamy, vanilla-adjacent notes that the dessert concept demands. Caryophyllene likely contributes the spice and depth that balances the sweetness. The Canary Islands' dry, sunny climate during outdoor cultivation may influence terpene concentration, with UV stress contributing to trichome density.

Growth
At 65 days, structure is typical mostly indica — compact, dense, heavy-yielding for the plant's footprint. The Canary Islands outdoor climate suits genetics with warm-season adaptations.

Effects
Reported effects are indica-dominant and relaxing — physically settling, with the sweet aromatic accompaniment creating an experience that is comforting rather than stimulating. Onset is moderate; effects extend through an evening.

Documentation
Limited grower reports available outside the Spanish-language cannabis community. Reported applications include relaxation and stress relief.
