The majestic Banana Punch Auto joins the “most potent autoflower” club. This marvelous variety contains up to 26% THC and offers one of the best terpene profiles out there in 56 days. You can expect a candy-like terpene profile with an overwhelming ripe banana taste, deliciously complemented by a fruity background that leaves your mouth tasting as if you’ve just eaten a bag of delicious gummy bears. This Indica-dominant strain grows around 120cm and yields up to 550gr/m2, making it the perfect choice for beginners and those looking for the highest-yielding strains that can deliver strong sedative effects that can be felt from head-to-toe.
Perfection in bud form. Banana Purple Punch buds boast bright-orange hairs and a beautiful mix of purple, pink, and magenta hues that get completely covered in trichomes by harvest time. The medium-sized buds grow extremely dense and stacked on top of each other, making the main cola and side branches look like the tallest purple skyscraper you’ve ever seen. The mouth-watering tropical fruit smell will mesmerize your nostrils before you can even break them open, a truly exceptional strain for those looking to make the tastiest hash and extracts.
This strain is not for the faint of heart. At first, you’ll experience a joyful high that allows you to focus and clears your mind, but don’t rush. Banana Purple Punch Auto is a creeper strain and the full-on effect may creep up on you all at once when you least expect it.
After a couple of hits, the pleasant head high slowly turns into a powerful long-lasting sedative effect that feels like it's melting your whole body, relieving pain, stress, and symptoms associated with appetite loss while leaving you happy and relaxed. This nightcap strain definitely puts you to sleep, so take it easy.
This variety is very easy to grow and without much effort will reveal its Indica lineage and show you what it’s capable of. Banana Purple Punch Auto can reach up to 120cm but grows thick and stout, developing a thick main cola with multiple short side branches that grow as thick as the main stem and can support the large-sized buds with ease.
Due to the Indica heritage, this plant has short internodal spacing which gives the impression that each individual branch is growing one massive bud. The beautiful dark lilac flowers contrast perfectly with the wide fan leaves that fade into a beautiful light green hue by the end of flowering.
Banana Purple Punch Auto grows extremely dense buds so remember to tie down the branches to improve airflow between the buds and increase light penetration, allowing buds to reach their maximum density while preventing mold and other pests.
Due to the bushy foliage, it’s recommended to defoliate gradually throughout the grow cycle, making your trimming session as easy and fast as possible. This plant doesn’t need much food to yield big so make sure to use good-quality nutrients, cover the basics, and it will reward you with big juicy buds.
Banana Purple Punch Auto offers a fruity overload. On the inhale, expect a light earthy background that comes with touches of citrus and intense fresh strawberry and ripe banana flavors. And as you exhale, the fruity and citrusy flavors get even deeper, resulting in a strong sweet pineapple taste with that typical touch of fuel that makes the almost gummy-like flavor stand out even more.

Strain FAQ
How do breeders boost cannabis' banana aroma?
Breeders develop and cross-breed cultivars with specific terpene profiles to enhance banana flavour and aroma. Banana Kush and Strawberry Banana possess a strong banana aroma and taste due to careful genetic selection.
Can plant structure affect insect resistance?
Yes, leaf density and structure can affect a cannabis plant's pest resistance. Compact plants with dense foliage may provide a pest-free microclimate in the canopy, increasing their resilience.
What distinguishes auto-flowering cannabis strains genetically?
Their cannabis ruderalis heritage makes auto-flowering strains distinctive. Their capacity to flower without a light schedule is due to this rare cannabis cousin. Their clever method distinguishes them from Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica strains that wait for light cues to flower.
How long do indica-dominant strains flower compared to sativas?
The fastest flowering strains are indica-dominant, finishing in 45–60 days. This fast flowering phase helps legal growers get their plants to maturity quickly, reducing the time from seed to harvest.
What evolutionary benefit does Ruderalis' auto-flowering provide?
Ruderalis' auto-flowering trait evolved to adapt to its native regions' varied lighting patterns, allowing it to finish its lifecycle and reproduce without light.
