Bruce Banner 1.0
Also known as: Bruce Banner #1, Bruce Banner Original
Bruce Banner 1.0 Strain Overview
Bruce Banner 1.0 is a highly potent cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2010s, named after the Marvel Comics character Bruce Banner and his alter ego, the Hulk. The strain was developed through careful breeding to create a plant with exceptional potency and a balanced hybrid effect. Its exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but most sources agree it was created by crossing OG Kush with Strawberry Diesel, resulting in a strain that combines the best characteristics of both parent plants. The strain gained rapid popularity due to its remarkably high THC content and well-rounded effects, becoming a favorite among experienced cannabis consumers seeking intense psychoactive experiences.
The plant exhibits distinctive physical characteristics with dense, resinous buds that are typically lime green in color, often accented with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The buds are compact and tightly packed, with a structure that reflects its indica-dominant heritage. The aroma profile is complex, blending diesel fuel notes inherited from its Strawberry Diesel parent with the earthy, piney undertones characteristic of OG Kush. When properly cured, the flowers emit a pungent scent that carries hints of citrus and sweet berries, creating an intriguing olfactory experience.
Bruce Banner 1.0 is particularly notable for its exceptional potency, frequently testing between 25-30% THC, which places it among the strongest cannabis strains available. This high potency is balanced by a relatively even hybrid effect that provides both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain has become a benchmark for potency in the cannabis community and has spawned several phenotype variations and subsequent versions (including Bruce Banner 2.0, 3.0, and autoflowering versions), though the original 1.0 phenotype remains highly sought after by connoisseurs for its consistent quality and powerful effects.

Bruce Banner 1.0 Strain Growing Information
Bruce Banner 1.0 is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, requiring some experience to achieve optimal results. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October. Indoor growers can expect medium to high yields, with proper cultivation techniques producing around 400-500 grams per square meter. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in optimal conditions.
The plant exhibits hybrid growth characteristics, typically reaching a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors and potentially taller outdoors. It responds well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods, though many growers report superior resin production in soil. Bruce Banner 1.0 prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors, with plenty of sunlight and moderate humidity. Indoor cultivation requires good ventilation and climate control to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture-related issues. The plant benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light exposure and yield. Nutrient requirements are moderate to high, particularly during the flowering phase when phosphorus and potassium are essential for bud development.
