Banana Gelee
Banana Gelee is a modern hybrid cannabis strain created through the crossing of Sunset Sherbert and Grape Pie. This strain is cultivated with a moderate level of difficulty and performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this variety, which reaches maturity after a 63-day flowering period.
The terpene profile is dominated by limonene, followed by caryophyllene, linalool, myrcene, and ocimene, with additional contributions from humulene, geraniol, beta-pinene, isopulegol, pinene, camphene, nerolidol, p-cymene, borneol, bisabolol, terpinolene, and caryophyllene-oxide. This diverse chemical composition shapes the sensory profile of the strain, which is characterized by its complex array of these specific aromatic compounds.
In terms of efficacy, Banana Gelee is a THC-dominant strain that produces effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These characteristics make it a noted selection for addressing symptoms of stress, pain, and sleep difficulties. Banana Gelee has also established a genetic legacy as the parent of notable offspring, including Calypso Fruit, Mela Verde, and 7 S.O.H.

Research notes below describe isolated terpene mechanisms and early findings. They do not guarantee effects from this strain and are not medical advice.
Russo 2011: increases serotonin in prefrontal cortex + dopamine in hippocampus via 5-HT1A; Johns Hopkins 2024: significantly reduced anxiety vs THC alone.

●●○○
Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
◎
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
