Philosopher Seeds presents Bruce Banner, a spectacular variety in its regular version. It is a genetics originally from Colorado that stands out for being one of the most powerful cannabis varieties ever created.
It is a hybrid between OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel. Already in 2013 in the prestigious High Times Cannabis Cup was awarded as the most powerful variety, offering a THC level close to 30% ... something unthinkable just a few years ago!
Bruce Banner is a fairly balanced hybrid with a vigorous growth and a perfect structure for SCROG cultivation. However, by applying a short vegetative development period it will also offer excellent results in SOG cultivation. Undoubtedly it is a very versatile plant that allows the use of various cultivation techniques.
- Very versatile and balanced hybrid
- Highly productive in outdoor cultivation
- Kush flavour with spicy and citric nuances
- Powerful anti-stress effect
In addition, it offers impressive results in both indoor and outdoor cultivation. It produces dense and compact flowers completely covered with glandular trichomes. Particularly outdoors, and applying appropriate techniques, we can produce real monsters loaded with resin and with a demolishing effect.
We can find three well differentiated phenotypes, all of them ready for harvest in about 8-10 weeks of flowering. They offer a similar production, with a yield of about 400-500g per m2 of dry buds. In outdoor cultivation the plants can reach 3 meters tall with a yield of about 800-1000g per plant, and the harvest ready in mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere.
Bruce Banner is known worldwide for its high cannabinoids content, particularly THC
One of the most impressive things about Bruce Banner's aroma is its intensity, offering strong fruity and sweet notes. In indoor cultivation it is essential to use carbon filters or other anti-odour systems. The flavours are more earthy than the aroma, mixing citric and spicy nuances in a combination as complex as it is delicious.
Certainly the effect is also very intense, both at the brain and body level. A energetic euphoria feeling is combined with a relaxing effect at the muscular level. By consuming Bruce Banner one feels able to do anything, from going out to a party or simply staying on the couch doing a good tasting session.

Strain FAQ
Why was cannabis grown in Central America and the Caribbean historically significant?
Traditional cannabis cultivation and use in Central America and the Caribbean dates back centuries. This long tradition has produced genetically pure, local-adapted landrace strains. Many current popular hybrids are in fact based on these landraces.
Does Bruce Banner have multiple identities?
Bruce Banner isn't a stock strain. It has various phenotypes, but Bruce Banner #3 is the family's heavyweight champion due to its high THC content. Each phenotype alters the Bruce Banner experience in flavor, scent, and consequences.
What terpenes are responsible for earthiness?
Along with myrcene, humulene adds a woody tone to the earthy scent, and it's intriguing that hops contain it. Beta-caryophyllene's spicy, peppery scent adds earthiness and reportedly interacts with the endocannabinoid system.
What's special about strains that finish in mid-October?
Short-season locales benefit from strains that flower by mid-October. As winter approaches, they are already finished, avoiding the risk of frost, mould, and pest damage.
What kind of aroma profiles are expected of 50/50 hybrids?
These hybrids offer a huge variety of different smells and flavours due to their rich genetics. Their unique terpene profiles from both sides of the family allow them to smell like everything from ripe berries to woodland after rain.
