Also known as: GDB, Grandaddy Banner
Grand Daddy Banner Strain Overview
Grand Daddy Banner is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the legendary Grand Daddy Purple with Bruce Banner. Originally developed by Big Head Seeds and also offered by Flavour Chasers, this strain represents a powerful fusion of two cannabis powerhouses. The genetic composition is typically 70% indica and 30% sativa, though some sources indicate it as 60% indica and 40% sativa depending on the specific phenotype.
This strain is particularly notable for its unpredictable phenotypic expression, with growers having approximately a 50/50 chance of producing either purple buds reminiscent of its Grand Daddy Purple lineage, or bright green buds with orange hairs reflecting its Bruce Banner heritage. Some plants may even display both characteristics simultaneously. The buds are characteristically dense and heavily resinous, covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a crystalline, almost moon-like appearance. Grand Daddy Banner has gained recognition in cannabis competitions and has become increasingly popular among both recreational and medicinal users seeking a potent, balanced experience.
