Bruce Banner #3
Bruce Banner #3
Also known as: BB3, Bruce Banner 3
Overview
Bruce Banner #3 is an award-winning sativa-dominant cannabis strain recognised for its impressive potency. It was named "Most Potent Strain" at the High Times Cannabis Cup (2013) and won 1st place at the Denver US Cannabis Cup—for good reason. The strain was created by Dark Horse Genetics using OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel as parent strains. Bruce Banner #3 is considered the most potent overall of the three most popular Bruce Banner phenotypes, and was thought to be the pick of the litter.
Bruce Banner #3 offers some incredibly strong flowers that can harbour a THC content of up to 30%, making it among the strongest strains available. This hybrid exhibits genetics of approximately 60% Sativa and 40% Indica, with variations depending on the specific phenotype. The strain produces light green, dense buds covered in bright orange hairs and a generous coating of large-headed trichomes that cover all surfaces. Its complex flavor profile includes sweet strawberry and citrus notes from its Strawberry Diesel parentage, combined with prominent earthy and diesel undertones from OG Kush heritage, creating a deeply spicy lemon-lime aroma with hints of sweetness.

Growing Information
Bruce Banner #3 has a flowering period of 8-9 weeks indoors, typically finishing in 9-10 weeks and producing dense, resinous buds. Indoor yields range from 650-800 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 1000-1700 grams per plant. Outdoor harvest occurs in early October, with plants potentially reaching over 3 meters tall (nearly 10 feet in some cases). This strain requires experience due to its specific growing requirements and high potency, making it better suited for experienced growers rather than beginners. The strain responds well to training techniques such as topping, low-stress training (LST), and Screen of Green (ScrOG) methods. Odor control is crucial as the strain develops highly aromatic flowers that can easily overwhelm a grow room and may attract unwanted attention outdoors. Optimal growing conditions include temperatures between 70-85°F (21-27°C) with 40-50% humidity during flowering.
