What is the Bruce Banner strain?

Bruce Banner is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 32.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.

Bruce Banner is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by Jason Holck of Dark Horse Genetics by crossing OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel. With sativa-dominant genes (60:40 sativa/indica ratio) that deliver a massive dose of THC: Nearly 29% in some tests, the strain was named after the comic book character Bruce Banner, the alter ego of The Incredible Hulk. Bruce Banner #3 won the Denver US Cannabis Cup and has been named the strongest strain ever tested in the High Times Cannabis Cups' history. The strain gained widespread attention in 2009 as medical marijuana began entering the mainstream.

The strain is characterized by buds that have a heavily frosted appearance due to a thick layer of resinous glands and produce dense and heavy flowers with bulging calyxes and a snow-white resin. The aroma is intense and combines sweet, citrusy overtones with underlying earthy notes and hints of strawberries, diesel, and herbal tea, with the dominant flavor being sweet, with notes of citrus and a strong, pungent smell. Bruce Banner comes in multiple phenotypes, with Bruce Banner #3 being the most popular and sought-after variant. The strain represents a perfect balance of its parent genetics, delivering both the relaxing properties of OG Kush and the euphoric, creative effects of Strawberry Diesel.
