Banana Mango is a fantastic choice for people looking for relief from stress, and its sativa dominance means that you’re in for a fantastic, cerebral high that’s both uplifting and fuzzy in all of the right ways.

Banana Mango Basics
Banana Mango is a sativa-dominant hybrid, with 75% sativa / 25% indica in its genetic makeup. Its parents are three absolutely classic cultivars – Mango Trees, Banana OG, and Blueberry Muffin, which, if you’re familiar, explain Banana Mango’s ability to satisfy so many partakers. It yields about 18-23% THC, although more recent buds in circulation gravitate toward the higher end of that spectrum, so keep that in mind when it comes to your personal tolerance.
Bud Characteristics
Banana Mango’s buds are extra-large and shaped like spades. The neon green hue grabs attention, with minty-green waves. It’s covered in long, fine orange hairs, with white-gold crystals coating each bud, showing off the beautiful trichome count of each nug.
Growing Banana Mango Seeds
Having an average growing difficulty rating, Banana Mango can be cultivated either indoors or outdoors as long as its in a warm climate condition.
- Indoors: Expect average height to be with a yield of moderate in about 8-10 weeks.
- Outdoors: Should harvest around October you can expect average height and moderate yield.
Flavor & Aroma
Banana Mango certainly follows through with its namesake in terms of the flavor and aroma, and of course, that’s not a surprise considering its parents. Its aroma has a juicy tropical fruit taste with notes of citrus, banana, and mango, instantly making the mouth water with its lush sweetness and exotic tang. The flavor is the same, with citrus being a bit more pronounced, and a dreamy creaminess underneath.
Banana Mango Uses and Effects
Banana Mango is a great strain on the medicinal market because it has terpene profiles that can really deliver profound relief. It’s one of the most commonly recommended strains for people with mood disorders, because its effects on neurotransmitters are super potent compared to many other strains.

People with OCD are also commonly surprised by how much this strain puts them at ease.

The moderate-high THC level is great for intermediate users, and its effects are surprisingly balanced, making it a versatile strain that can benefit you at both day and night. If taken at night, its calming effects may make you feel sleepy to the point that you’ll want to take a nap, but at the same time, it’s not a super sedating strain, which means that you can still function on it and remain relatively alert.
