Banana Sherbert Autoflower Seeds

Banana Sherbert Autoflower is an indica-dominant feminized autoflower, 70% indica and 30% sativa, with banana, citrus and spice taste notes. It is an autoflowering take on Banana Sherbet (Banana Sherbert is the other common spelling), the banana-scented hybrid from Banana Kush and Sunset Sherbet. THC is listed at 22–26%, and it flowers on its own clock instead of waiting for shorter days.

History & lineage

Banana Sherbet is credited to Crockett Family Farms. Leafly lists it as a cross of Banana Kush and Sunset Sherbet bred by Crockett Seeds, and SeedFinder files it under Crockett Family Farms with that lineage marked as probable, noting that Crockett’s own version was never sold as feminized seeds. Banana Kush, one of those parents, won the Indica Cup at the 2011 High Times Denver Medical Cannabis Cup (Mile High Green Cross’s entry).

This autoflower’s listing gives its parents as Banana and Sunset Sherbet. As an autoflower it also carries ruderalis genetics, so it flowers by age rather than by day length.

Aroma & flavour

Expect banana, citrus and spice, the taste notes this autoflower is listed with. Leafly has no flavour reports for the autoflower itself. For Banana Sherbet, Leafly says the strain smells and tastes like ripe bananas, and the small number of Leafly users who have rated its flavour most often report sweet and berry, followed by earthy and flowery. Leafly’s lab data lists limonene as its most abundant terpene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene; our guide to cannabis terpenes explains what those add to a smell.

Effects, as users report them

Leafly has no user reports for this autoflower, so these are reports for Banana Sherbet, the photoperiod strain it is built on, most common first, and they come from only a small number of Leafly users. A couple report dry mouth, and single users report feeling anxious, dry eyes or a headache. An autoflower won’t always feel like the photoperiod strain. Leafly advises people with less THC experience to stick to small quantities, and THC here is listed at 22–26%, so if you are new to cannabis, start low; effects vary with the person and the dose.

Growing Banana Sherbert Autoflower

Banana Sherbert Autoflower starts flowering by itself a few weeks after it sprouts, so one light schedule can run from seed to harvest; many growers give autos 18 to 20 hours of light a day, and our autoflower light schedule guide compares the options.

Its listing gives 8 to 9 weeks without saying whether that counts from seed or from the first flowers. An autoflowering Sunset Sherbet, an auto version of one of its parents, is sold as taking 8 to 9 weeks from seed to harvest, so plan on about that and give it longer if the trichomes aren’t ready. The listing gives 400–450 g/m² (about 1.3–1.5 oz/ft²) indoors. No height is published for this autoflower, and its listing’s outdoor figure looks borrowed from the photoperiod strain, so the grid’s figures are estimated from autoflowering versions of its parents: around 80–110 cm (2.6–3.6 ft) tall and 50–200 g (about 1.8–7.1 oz) per plant outdoors. Our autoflower height guide helps you plan the space. An auto has little time to recover from heavy cuts, so shape it while it is young with low-stress training. Good airflow and steady humidity matter in late flower, and the trichomes, not the calendar, tell you when to harvest.
