Auto Banana Blaze Cannabis Seeds by Dutch Passion
Auto Banana Blaze is an autoflowering feminised cannabis seed that delivers old-school banana indica flavour in a compact, fast-finishing plant. Bred by Dutch Passion from '90s Banana Afghani genetics, she keeps everything that made the original Banana Blaze a favourite — the sweet fruit aroma, the heavy indica stone, the easy feeding schedule — and wraps it in an autoflowering package that's done in 12 weeks flat. If you're short on space or patience, this is the banana seed to grow.
Pack Sizes
| Pack | Seeds | SKU |
|---|---|---|
| 3-pack | 3 feminised seeds | CSDP0105 |
| 7-pack | 7 feminised seeds | CSDP0163 |
The 3-pack is enough for a single small tent run or a balcony grow. Go for the 7-pack if you want to pheno-hunt a bit or run a full 80x80 canopy — you'll get better odds of finding that one plant that absolutely reeks of banana.
Why Auto Banana Blaze Seeds Deserve Your Tent Space
We've carried Dutch Passion seeds since the early days of the shop, and their autoflower breeding has come a long way. Auto Banana Blaze is one of those strains that genuinely surprised us — autoflowers with real flavour used to be the exception, not the rule. This one actually smells like ripe bananas when you crack the jar open. Not "vaguely fruity if you squint." Proper banana. The kind of terp profile that makes you double-check you didn't leave fruit on the counter.
The plant itself stays compact — 1 metre at most, often shorter. That makes her one of the best autoflowering seeds for small grow tents, balconies, and terraces where height is a real constraint. A 60x60 tent fits two of these comfortably. An 80x80 takes four without crowding. She doesn't stretch much, so you won't be fighting branches into your light fixture at week eight.
The honest limitation: outdoor yields top out around 150g per plant. That's respectable for an auto this compact, but if you're chasing weight above all else, a photoperiod strain or a larger auto like Auto Ultimate will outproduce her. What Auto Banana Blaze trades in raw yield, she makes up for in flavour intensity and sheer ease of growing. Dutch Passion recommends organic soil for the best terp expression, and from what we've seen, they're right — coco runs produce decent bud, but the banana flavour really pops in a living soil mix.

How to Grow Auto Banana Blaze Seeds
Auto Banana Blaze is a light feeder that doesn't ask for much. Dutch Passion specifically notes she doesn't need nutrients at every watering — overfeeding is the most common mistake we see growers make with this strain. Here's a straightforward approach:
- Germinate your Auto Banana Blaze seeds using the paper towel method or soak directly in a glass of water for 12–24 hours until taproots appear.
- Plant directly into your final pot — autos don't like transplanting. A 15–20 litre fabric pot with organic soil is the sweet spot. At 20 litres, you can run half the recommended nutrient dose and she'll be perfectly happy through her short veg cycle.
- Run your lights on an 18/6 or 20/4 schedule from seed to harvest. She's an auto, so no light cycle change needed.
- Water when the top 2–3cm of soil is dry. Feed lightly — every second or third watering with a mild bloom nutrient once she starts flowering (around week 4–5). If you're adding calmag, 0.8ml/L is a reasonable starting point based on grower reports.
- Keep temperatures between 20–26°C and humidity below 55% once buds start forming. Her compact, dense bud structure can hold moisture, so airflow matters.
- Harvest at 10–12 weeks from germination. Check trichomes with a loupe — mostly milky with a few amber for that heavy indica effect she's known for.
Flavour and Effect: What Auto Banana Blaze Actually Delivers
Open a jar of properly cured Auto Banana Blaze and the first thing that hits you is banana. Not subtle, not ambiguous — sweet, ripe banana with a creamy undertone that's unmistakably old-school indica. Light her up and that banana flavour carries through the smoke, rich and smooth. When vaping, the creamy banana note is slightly less pronounced but still clearly there. It's the kind of terp profile that makes you understand why Dutch Passion kept these '90s Banana Afghani genetics alive.
The effect is heavy indica. A few hits and you'll feel a deeply relaxing body stone that builds into something properly narcotic if you keep going. This is an evening strain — she'll ease your body and mind into a relaxed state that's best enjoyed on the sofa with nowhere to be. Not the one to smoke before a hike. Definitely the one to smoke after.
With THC levels between 18–24%, she's remarkably potent for an autoflower. Seasoned smokers will appreciate the quality of the stone; newer smokers should take it slow. Two or three hits is a solid starting point.
Auto Banana Blaze vs Photoperiod Banana Blaze
The original photoperiod Banana Blaze flowers in about 8 weeks, but you need to add 4–6 weeks of veg time on top of that, plus manage light schedules. Auto Banana Blaze does the entire run — seed to harvest — in 10–12 weeks under a fixed light schedule. The flavour and potency are on par. The main trade-off is yield: the photoperiod version can produce more per plant when given time to veg, while the auto tops out at 150g/plant outdoors and 400–500g/m² indoors. For growers who want the banana flavour without the fuss of light schedule management, the auto is the better pick.
Running Auto Banana Blaze in a small tent? Pair her with a complete grow kit that includes ventilation and a carbon filter — her banana terps are loud, and your neighbours will notice without proper extraction. If you're growing in organic soil as Dutch Passion recommends, a good organic soil mix and some fabric pots will set you up properly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Auto Banana Blaze take from seed to harvest?
Auto Banana Blaze is ready to harvest 10–12 weeks after germination. No light schedule changes needed — she flowers automatically regardless of photoperiod.
What yield can I expect from Auto Banana Blaze?
Indoors, expect 400–500g/m² under good conditions. Outdoors, yields reach up to 150g per plant. She's not the highest-yielding auto out there, but the flavour quality makes up for it.
Is Auto Banana Blaze indica or sativa?
Auto Banana Blaze is indica-dominant, bred from '90s Banana Afghani genetics. The effect is a heavy, relaxing body stone — classic indica territory. Best enjoyed in the evening.
How tall does Auto Banana Blaze grow?
She stays compact at 1 metre maximum, often finishing between 60–80cm indoors. That makes her one of the best autos for small tents, balconies, and stealthy outdoor grows where height is a concern.
Does Auto Banana Blaze need a lot of nutrients?
No. She's a light feeder — Dutch Passion specifically notes she doesn't need nutrients at every watering. Overfeeding is the most common mistake. In a 20-litre pot with organic soil, half the recommended nutrient dose works well.
What does Auto Banana Blaze smell and taste like?
Sweet, ripe banana — and not in a subtle way. The aroma is strong enough to notice when you walk past the plant. The smoke carries that same banana flavour with a creamy, old-school indica undertone. Grow in organic soil for the strongest terp expression.
Can I grow Auto Banana Blaze outdoors?
Yes, and her compact size makes her a solid choice for balconies, terraces, and stealthy outdoor spots. She doesn't need light schedule management, so you can plant her out whenever nighttime temperatures stay above 10°C consistently.
