Modified Banana is a modern hybrid-indica cultivar created through the crossing of GMO Cookies and Gushers. This genetics-forward hybrid is suited for both indoor and outdoor cultivation environments, where it demonstrates a moderate level of grower difficulty and provides a high yield within a 67-day flowering period. Its lineage has served as the foundation for an extensive list of notable offspring, including Gello Banana, Banana Squirts, Back To Banana, Banana Burger, Banana Dulce, Banana Rainbow, Big Papa, Dirty Buntz, Donny Bananas, Duel Dope Muffler, and others.

The sensory profile of this THC-dominant strain is defined by a complex terpene architecture led by myrcene, followed by limonene, caryophyllene, and beta-pinene. Linalool, pinene, humulene, and terpinolene contribute to its secondary profile, while the experience is completed by trace amounts of bisabolol and caryophyllene-oxide. This specific distribution of terpenes informs the distinct aromatic and flavor nuances observed in the harvested flower, reflecting the depth of its GMO Cookies and Gushers heritage.

Users typically report effects characterized by a sense of being relaxed and focused. Due to these properties, Modified Banana is frequently utilized to assist with the management of pain, stress, and sleep. Beyond its individual therapeutic utility, the strain remains a significant genetic contributor to the modern cannabis market, established by its prolific list of progeny that continue to carry its influence through various contemporary crosses.
