Quick answer
Bruce Banner is Dark Horse Genetics' 2008 sativa-leaning hybrid (OG Kush x Strawberry Diesel), famous for Bruce Banner #3's record 28.35% THC at the 2013 Denver Cannabis Cup. Diesel-strawberry flavour, euphoric creative rush then body calm. 24-30% THC - experienced consumers only.
Bruce Banner is the strongest thing regularly on the menu, and it earned that rep at a Cannabis Cup, not on a label. The high is a rocket - euphoric, chatty, creative - then your body remembers it has a body. Diesel and strawberry on the nose is a weird combo that somehow works. One bowl. I mean it. Two and you're writing poetry you'll regret.

The story of Bruce Banner
Bred by Jason Holck of Dark Horse Genetics in Denver around 2008-2010, Bruce Banner crossed the legendary OG Kush phenotype with Strawberry Diesel and immediately made a name for itself by testing among the highest THC readings ever recorded at the time - the #3 phenotype famously touched 28-30 percent. The name is the joke and the truth: it looks sweet, then it Hulks out. The Strawberry Diesel #3 cut remains the flagship and the one most menus reference.

Growing Bruce Banner
A 9 to 10 week flower with vigorous hybrid stretch and, on good phenos, serious resin production. It is a hungry feeder during mid-flower and benefits from training to open the canopy. Phenotype hunting matters - the #3 cut is the famous one, and seed-grown plants vary from sweet to almost pure diesel.
How to consume Bruce Banner
One of the strongest strains widely stocked in Canada. The high is an immediate euphoric, creative and chatty blast - more social than most 25-percenters - before a creeping body relaxation arrives. At 24 to 30 percent THC, novices should treat a single puff as a full dose. Daytime-capable in small amounts; conversation-worthy but not work-friendly in larger ones.
Bruce Banner vs similar strains
Against parent Sour Diesel, Bruce Banner is heavier and sweeter - the strawberry rounds off the diesel edge and the body effect is stronger. Versus OG Kush, it is more euphoric and less sedative. Tahoe OG and El Chapo are the heavy hitters to compare against - El Chapo in particular trades the sweetness for pure gas. Green Crack matches the energy with less potency.
