Banana Daddy

Banana Daddy is a hybrid cannabis strain from Colorado that descends from one of California's biggest indica superstars (hint: her name has the word "purple" in it). Keep reading to learn all there is to know about Banana Daddy, including its genetic background, origins, effects, and growth traits. History of the Banana Daddy Strain Banana Daddy is a hybrid strain created by Ethos Genetics. Founded in 2017 in Littleton, Colorado, Ethos Genetics is the brainchild of its founder Colin Gordon. Colin has been breeding cannabis since 1993 and started running his own dispensary in 2008. By 2009, Colin was running a 1,300,000 sq ft commercial cannabis grow. Today, he is a highly respected breeder and his genetics have won over 30 different cannabis cups. Banana Daddy is one of Ethos Genetics' lesser-known strains, with varieties like Citradelic Sunset, Citral Flo, Colin OG, Lilac Diesel, and Mandarin Sunset attracting plenty of attention from both growers and smokers. In 2022, Ethos Genetics was named Best Seed Company of Denver by the city's leading independent news company, Westword. Genetic Lineage of Banana Daddy Banana Daddy descends from the almighty Granddaddy Purple (GDP) and Banana Hammock R1. While Ethos hasn't revealed the strain's genetic split, its appearance and growth traits suggest that it is slightly indica-dominant hybrid. Granddaddy Purple is, without a doubt, one of the most iconic indica cannabis strains of all time. Discovered and commercialized by Ken Estes, GDP is said to have been bred and preserved for over 20 years by a Native American community living in Humboldt County, California. While the exact origins of the strain are shrouded in mystery, Ken Estes claims that his original GDP cut is a Skunk offspring bred from landrace strains that were brought to the US by Vietnam War veterans. Eventually, these strains got crossed with the Acapulco Gold, Colombian Gold, and Panama Red varieties popular in the US to birth Skunk, and later GDP. Boasting d
