Named after the Incredible Hulk’s alter-ego, Bruce Banner is a powerhouse marijuana strain known for high potency and energizing effects.
Bruce Banner was originally created by Los Angeles-based Dark Horse Genetics by blending OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel in 2009.
In the 15 years that followed, breeders perfected Bruce Banner as a sativa-dominant hybrid that packs some serious strength (much like the Hulk himself). Now, the strain has three main phenotypes, with Bruce Banner #3 being the most sought-after.
The Bruce Banner cannabis strain is a sativa-dominant hybrid.
Cannabis users recognize Bruce Banner as a highly potent strain, with THC levels up to 27-30%. Bruce Banner’s high THC content is balanced out with very little CBD (less than 1%).
This strain gives off an earthy yet fruity aroma, with hints of strawberry and blue cheese flavor. This unique flavor can be attributed to the strain’s three main terpenes:
Overall, these genetics make up one of the happiest strains on the market: Bruce Banner is a strongly uplifting strain that doesn’t sacrifice relaxation.
Bruce Banner is as powerful as it sounds.
The strain is known for its strongly euphoric head high. Because of its natural anti-inflammatory effects, Bruce Banner can induce sustained levels of focused energy, unlocking your creative side and helping you connect the dots in your day-to-day projects.
Don’t be fooled though. Bruce Banner is, at the end of the day, a hybrid strain. Though this strain does have some seriously long-lasting energizing effects, the high ends with an extremely relaxing couch-lock. While this effect is great for stress relief, it may cause powerful fatigue.
So, while Bruce Banner seems like the perfect daytime strain, consider using it toward the end of your day – or risk falling asleep at your desk.
This strain may also cause other minor side effects alongside fatigue, such as dry mouth and dry eyes.
Bruce Banner is not only perfect for sparking focused creativity, but this strain also has multiple uses in the medical cannabis realm.
Because of its naturally uplifting effects and tendency to induce high levels of focus, Bruce Banner has been used for combating symptoms of anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, and depression. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory and analgesic genetics, this weed strain is similarly useful for providing relief from stress, nausea, and chronic pain.
When cultivating Bruce Banner, growers can expect the plant to grow up to 10 feet tall. This strain is known for producing short, bushy buds with a Hulk-like bright green hue. These buds are dense with trichomes, contributing to its powerful effects and high THC content.
Bruce Banner generally has an average flowering time of 8-10 weeks. Because it shows significantly high resistance to pests, mold, and disease, this strain is great for growers of all skill levels. It can be grown indoors or outdoors.
Bruce Banner thrives in cooler temperatures compared to most strains. For a high-quality yield, make sure to regulate humidity levels to protect the buds. If growing outdoors, choose planting locations that are sheltered from autumn rains to prevent damage. This hybrid strain achieves optimal growth between 65 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit, so set your grow room accordingly to achieve maximum results.
Nutrient Requirements: For soil-based cultivation, begin with generous amounts of nitrogen and CalMag. During the flowering stage, apply phosphorus-rich nutrients as a top dressing. When growing outdoors, consider foliar spraying with compost tea to deter powdery mildew.
