Description: Bruce Banner actually comes in three specific variants, with Bruce Banner #3 being the most coveted of the three. Initially, five Bruce Banner strains existed: Bruce Banner #1, #2, #3, #4, and #5. Bruce Banner #2 and #4 were both quickly dropped, with #1, #3, and #5 taking precedence. Bruce Banner #3 ranked first place in the Denver US Cannabis Cup and is the most potent strain ever tested in the history of the High Times Cannabis Cups. Bruce Banner received a great amount of hype in 2009, right as medical cannabis started receiving a better reception in the mainstream.
Bruce Banner has more going for it than a clever name and high THC content, however. This 60% sativa dominant hybrid strain packs quite a punch with a great balance between the sativa and indica effects. The buds are dense and rich in THC content, with Bruce Banner #3 variant known to reach nearly 30% THC content. The taste of the strain is pungent citrus, and compared to the strain's smell, its taste is considerably earthier and less sweet. Bruce Banner's parents' lineage is apparent with its pleasant and slightly sweet diesel scent.
Effects: The effects emerge swiftly and with strength, but the stone mellows into a creative euphoria, balancing out the punch of the initial stone. Bruce Banner will provide a relaxing body high accompanied by useful pain-killing effects for users. This is a strain that many use to treat anxiety and stress levels, as well as alleviate the symptoms associated with ADD/ADHD and Bipolar disorders. Bruce Banner is also used to remedy migraines and alleviate pain associated with arthritis.
Growing: Plants of this strain tend to flower at around 8 to 10 weeks and are a true beauty to behold as they grow. The leaves are colored a rich magenta hue, dancing vividly off the bright green buds and red hairs. The buds are frosted generously with large-headed trichomes. Bruce Banner tends to offer bigger yields than your typical OG Kush, making it a great strain choice for more experienced growers looking for an exotic strain which boasts bountiful yields.
