What is the Bruce Banner strain of cannabis?
Hailing from the legendary OG Kush lineage, this strain is the offspring of Cannabis royalty.
On the other side of the family, it is the grandchild to NYC Diesel, one of the first quality flowers developed on the east coast.
The hype began in 2009 when medical cannabis started gaining more attention from the public, and it was understood that cannabis had real potential to aid in quality of life.
Created by Original Grower Ironlung of Dark Horse Genetics, this strain was rated by High Times as the 9th greatest strain of all time.
Named after the alter ego of Marvel Comic book hero The Incredible Hulk, Bruce Banner is a perfect strain to grow for those who have a little experience but by no means consider themselves experts.
This plant has a high disease resistance compared to other strains and warm, dry climates are recommended for cultivation.
Bruce Banner review: Flavor, smell, appearance
This Sativa-dominant hybrid is one of the more elegant flowers to be developed and boasts a rich THC percentage clearly seen and tasted in its profile.
Flavor
When smoked, the pungent diesel flavor is immediately present on the palette.
As the smoke is brought through the mouth, a wave of sweet and citrus will be noted. Be careful, some high-THC strains can be harsh to hit, so it is better to take small hits to get the full flavor profile.
Smell
When holding the flower to your nose and pressing your fingers on each side of it, diesel aromas are soon followed by a spectrum of floral notes and a strawberry undertone.
Appearance
Bruce Banner buds are tight and dense. The nuggets are vibrant shades of green coated with a high trichome concentration making it look like the bud was dipped in sugar.
