STRNG Seeds – Bruce Banner

Bruce Banner earned its reputation because the strain delivers a well-rounded experience that starts with a cerebral jolt of energy before melting into deep physical calm, making it remarkably versatile.

Expect an immediate rush of clarity and creativity, often paired with a uplifting edge. As time progresses, a warm body relaxation kicks in without causing full couch-lock, allowing sessions of feeling grounded and focused.

Bruce Banner is a flavorful medley of sweet berry, citrus zest, and earthy diesel. The inhale is often fruity and smooth, while the exhale brings out more pungent, skunky undertones — a nod to its OG Kush lineage.

While not difficult, its fast vertical growth and strong aroma during bloom require good space planning and odor control, making it slightly better suited for intermediate growers.

Look for milky trichomes with some turning amber, swollen calyxes, and a noticeable decrease in new pistil growth. The sweet-meets-diesel aroma also peaks just before optimal harvest.

Yes — several phenotypes exist, with Bruce Banner #3 being the most famous for its balance of potency, yield, and aroma. Each variation may lean slightly more toward sativa or indica in structure and experiences.

This strain is rich in myrcene, caryophyllene, and limonene. These contribute to its calming experiences, spicy citrus notes, and subtle herbal aroma. The terpene profile plays a key role in how it hits both the mind and body.

A sharp mix of sweet strawberry, citrus peel, and diesel. By week 7 or 8 of flower, the scent becomes bold and lingering — very fragrant indoors.

Some phenos show deep greens with purple hints under cooler temps, while others stay bright green with thick orange pistils and heavy resin layering.

Beyond its strength, Bruce Banner is admired for how it blends potency with nuance. Its aroma, flavor evolution, long-lasting experiences, and hybrid versatility make it a standout for those who want more than just a knockout punch.

It tends to grow fast and tall with strong central growth, so early training or topping is recommended to control stretch and promote multiple colas.

Yes — like most feminized seeds, Bruce Banner depends on light cycle shifts to trigger flowering. Indoor growers usually switch to 12/12 lighting once the plant reaches the desired size.

With reputable breeders like STRNG Seeds, yes. Feminized Bruce Banner lines are selectively bred for genetic consistency, resulting in uniform growth patterns and terpene expression across your canopy.

These plants typically develop thick, broad leaves in early growth and stretch vertically during pre-flower. As flowering progresses, expect dense buds with a light green hue and orange pistils — often coated in frosty trichomes.

Its high resin production, market demand, and heavy yield potential make it a go-to strain for commercial cultivation — especially when feminized seeds ensure every plant contributes to the bottom line.

Bruce Banner loves intense lighting. Full-spectrum LEDs or high-pressure sodium (HPS) setups that deliver 600–1000 PPFD during flower will help push trichome development and yield. Keep lights at the right distance to avoid bleaching.

Yes — controlled defoliation during early flower helps improve airflow and light penetration, especially since Bruce Banner tends to grow dense foliage. Just don’t overdo it, as she’s a vigorous grower but still sensitive to stress.

This strain thrives in warm, dry climates with minimal humidity during the flowering stage. Mediterranean-like conditions are ideal, though it can also perform well in temperate zones with proper mold prevention.

Techniques like mainlining, ScrOG (Screen of Green), and LST (low-stress training) help maximize yield while taming the plant’s tendency to stretch. Its strong branches handle training well with early application.

Once flowering begins, increase phosphorus and potassium intake gradually, with feedings about once per week or more, depending on medium and runoff. Watch leaf tips for nutrient burn — it’s a strong feeder, but not indestructible.
