Also known as: BB3 Auto, Auto Bruce Banner #3, Bruce Banner 3 Autoflower
Overview
Bruce Banner #3 Auto is an autoflowering version of the legendary Bruce Banner #3, one of the most potent cannabis strains ever created. Originally bred by Dark Horse Genetics by crossing OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel, the autoflowering variant was developed by BSB Genetics through further crossing with Ruderalis genetics. This strain gained worldwide recognition when Bruce Banner #3 won the High Times Cannabis Cup in 2013 as the "Most Potent Strain" with THC levels reaching up to 30%. The autoflowering version maintains much of the original's potency while offering the convenience of automatic flowering regardless of light schedule. Bruce Banner #3 Auto exhibits dense, resin-coated buds with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes. The strain's appearance showcases rich green hues with the characteristic sticky, heavy buds that made the original Bruce Banner famous. Plants typically reach heights of 70-100cm indoors, making them suitable for smaller grow spaces while still producing impressive yields. The autoflowering nature allows for a complete growing cycle in just 7-10 weeks from germination to harvest, making it an attractive option for both novice and experienced cultivators seeking quick turnaround times.

Growing Information
Bruce Banner #3 Auto is considered intermediate difficulty to cultivate. The autoflowering variant offers a complete growing cycle of 7-10 weeks from germination to harvest, with flowering typically occurring in 55-65 days. Plants remain relatively compact at 70-100cm (2.3-3.3 feet) indoors and up to 140cm outdoors, making them suitable for smaller grow spaces. Expected yields are impressive for an autoflower: 500-600g/m² indoors and 550-850g per plant outdoors under optimal conditions. The strain requires 18 hours of light daily throughout its lifecycle and prefers warm, dry conditions with temperatures between 60-80°F and humidity levels of 40-60%. Plants respond well to low-stress training (LST) and ScrOG methods to manage height and maximize yields. Due to rapid growth and stretching, adequate spacing is essential. The strain produces very aromatic plants that may require carbon filtration. Despite its potency, Bruce Banner #3 Auto is relatively resilient and can handle beginner mistakes while still producing high-quality, resinous buds.
