Bruce Banner is a sativa-leaning feminized hybrid of OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel, with a diesel aroma, sweet undertones and a reputation for potency. Named after the scientist who turns into the Incredible Hulk, it is credited by Leafly to Dark Horse Genetics. Its THC is listed at 25 to 32%, and it flowers in about 8 to 10 weeks, finishing outdoors in October.
History & lineage
Bruce Banner takes its name from comic-book scientist Bruce Banner, the mild-mannered alter ego of the Incredible Hulk. Leafly credits Dark Horse Genetics with breeding it from OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel, and also lists it as Banner and OG Banner. It comes in three main phenotypes, and Westword called Bruce Banner #3 the most popular, with a pudgy bud structure. Leafly describes it as a hybrid sativa, and Westword’s reviewer found every phenotype they tried heavily sativa-leaning, though its seed listing calls it a balanced hybrid.
OG Kush, one of its parents, won the Hybrid Cup at the 2011 High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in San Francisco (D & M Compassion Center’s entry). Bruce Banner has gone on to parent strains of its own: Grand Daddy Purple Banner crosses it with Granddaddy Purple, and we also stock Bruce Banner Autoflower for growers who want an autoflowering version.
Aroma & flavour
Leafly describes a diesel aroma with sweet undertones. The taste is listed as strawberry, berry, diesel and earthy, and Westword’s reviewer found strong diesel up front with a sweet after-scent, then earthy, hashy OG Kush notes and a subtle tropical twist behind it. Leafly users most often report sweet, earthy and diesel flavours, followed by pungent and flowery. Its lab data lists caryophyllene as the most abundant terpene, just ahead of myrcene, then limonene; our terpene guide covers what each of those brings.
Effects, as users report them
These are Leafly users’ reports for Bruce Banner as a strain, most common first, and Leafly sums its effects up as mostly energizing. Leafly also notes that for newer users the effects can come on strong and fast before settling into a euphoric, creative high. Dry mouth and dry eyes are the downsides users report most; smaller numbers report dizziness, anxiety or paranoia. Its seed listing puts THC at 25 to 32%, while Leafly’s strain data puts Bruce Banner at about 21%. Effects vary with the person and the dose, and newer users especially should start low.
Growing Bruce Banner
Bruce Banner is a feminized photoperiod plant: it grows leaves and branches until the light is cut to 12 hours a day, or the days shorten outdoors, then flowers for about 8 to 10 weeks; its seed listing gives 63 to 70 days indoors, and an outdoor harvest in October in the Northern Hemisphere. Our seed-to-harvest timeline shows how those weeks fit a full grow.
Leafly rates it moderate to grow, and describes it as a tall plant; as a rough guide, plants run about 100–150 cm (3.3–4.9 ft) indoors, so plan your headroom. Leafly’s grow notes put typical indoor yields at up to about 430 g/m² (1.4 oz/ft²), while the seed listing gives 550–700 g/m² (1.8–2.3 oz/ft²) indoors and up to about 800 g (28 oz) per plant outdoors. Leafly calls it well suited to a sea of green, and on a taller plant topping, low-stress training or a screen will help keep the canopy even. Its buds are dense, so keep humidity in check during late flower and keep the air moving between the colas to guard against bud rot.

Questions buyers ask
How much THC does Bruce Banner have?
Its seed listing puts THC at 25 to 32%, and Leafly’s strain data puts Bruce Banner at about 21%. Both are guide figures; the plant, the phenotype and the grow all make a difference.
Are these Bruce Banner #3 seeds?
Not by name. Bruce Banner #3 is the best known of the strain’s three main phenotypes, but these seeds are listed simply as OG Kush × Strawberry Diesel, so we don’t call them #3.
How long does Bruce Banner take to flower?
About 8 to 10 weeks once the light drops to 12 hours a day; its seed listing gives 63 to 70 days indoors. Outdoors in the Northern Hemisphere, harvest comes in October.
Are these Bruce Banner seeds feminized?
Yes. They are feminized photoperiod seeds, so the plants grow as females, which produce the buds. Our guide to germinating seeds walks you through the first days.
