Bruce Banner

About

Bruce Banner was bred by Dark Horse Genetics of Los Angeles in 2009, specifically by breeder Jasib Holck. The cross is OG Kush with Strawberry Diesel, a pairing that combines OG Kush's fuel-earth potency with Strawberry Diesel's sweeter, fruit-forward character. The strain is named after the Marvel Comics alter ego of the Hulk, which is a direct reference to the strain's reputation for extreme potency at the commercial level. Five distinct phenotypes of Bruce Banner circulate commercially, numbered #1 through #5. Bruce Banner #3 is the most widely distributed and is the one that won first place at the Denver Cannabis Cup. Commercial testing often places Bruce Banner THC at or near 30 percent, though the lab samples in our database come in lower at 17 to 23%, suggesting our data is from a less-expressive phenotype or earlier-generation seed stock rather than the competition-grade #3 cut. The terpene profile is well-balanced between caryophyllene and limonene. Caryophyllene leads at 0.38%, with limonene close behind at 0.36%. Myrcene at 0.19% and humulene at 0.18% round out the top four. That near-tied caryophyllene-limonene ratio is responsible for Bruce Banner's distinctive aroma, which consumers often describe as a mix of OG fuel and bright citrus-diesel, with neither note dominating cleanly. Our database chemotype classification is "Purple (Caryophyllene-dominant)", although the extremely close limonene reading arguably places it on the border between Purple and Yellow. THC ranges between 17.0 and 23% in our database. Reviewers describe the effects as creative as the clear lead, with energetic, focused, and relaxed following. That effect profile matches Bruce Banner's reputation as a functional-but-potent hybrid that leans sativa in practical use despite the caryophyllene-dominant chemotype classification.
