Bruce Banner #5 Strain Overview
Bruce Banner #5 is a potent hybrid cannabis strain named after the Marvel Comics character Bruce Banner and his alter ego, the Hulk. The strain was developed by Dark Horse Genetics, who crossed OG Kush with Strawberry Diesel to create this high-THC variety. The #5 phenotype is considered one of the most desirable expressions of the Bruce Banner lineage, known for its exceptional potency and balanced effects that combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation.
The strain features dense, resinous buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by bright green foliage, orange pistils, and a heavy coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. Bruce Banner #5 typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a complex aroma profile that combines sweet, diesel, and earthy notes. The strain gained popularity in the early 2010s and has since become a favorite among experienced cannabis consumers seeking strong effects.
Bruce Banner #5 is particularly notable for its high THC content, which often exceeds 25% and can reach up to 30% in optimal growing conditions. This makes it one of the more potent strains available in the cannabis market. The strain's effects are typically described as fast-acting and powerful, with users reporting an initial cerebral rush followed by deep physical relaxation. Its popularity has led to numerous awards in cannabis competitions, particularly for its potency and flavor profile.
