Bruce Banner OG
Also known as: Bruce Banner, Bruce Banner #3, Hulk OG
Bruce Banner OG Strain Overview
Bruce Banner OG is a potent hybrid cannabis strain that has gained significant popularity in the cannabis community for its exceptionally high THC content and balanced effects. The strain was developed by Dark Horse Genetics, though some sources attribute its creation to other breeders, leading to some uncertainty about its precise origin. Named after the Marvel Comics character Bruce Banner (the alter ego of the Hulk), this strain lives up to its namesake with powerful effects that can transform users' experiences. The strain emerged in the early 2010s and quickly became a favorite among experienced consumers seeking intense psychoactive effects.
The plant typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex visual appearance. The flowers are often lime green with vibrant orange pistils and a heavy coating of trichomes that gives them a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds are usually compact and tightly packed, with a structure that reflects its indica-dominant heritage. Bruce Banner OG is particularly noted for its pungent aroma that combines diesel, citrus, and earthy notes, creating a distinctive sensory profile that experienced users can often recognize immediately.
What sets Bruce Banner OG apart from many other high-THC strains is its relatively balanced effect profile despite its potency. While the THC levels frequently exceed 25% and can reach 30% or higher in well-grown specimens, the effects tend to combine cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation rather than overwhelming sedation. This has made it popular among both recreational and medicinal users, though its extreme potency means it is generally recommended for experienced consumers rather than beginners. The strain has won multiple cannabis awards, including several High Times Cannabis Cup awards, cementing its reputation in the cannabis community.

Bruce Banner OG Strain Growing Information
Bruce Banner OG is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are generally good, producing approximately 450-550 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to be medium to tall in height, often requiring some height management techniques like topping or training. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold (due to dense bud structure) and providing adequate support for heavy colas. The plants respond well to both soil and hydroponic growing methods.
