Bruce Banner 2.0 Feminized Marijuana Seeds

Where Bruce Banner 2.0 comes from

Bruce Banner 2.0 builds on Bruce Banner, a cross of OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel that became famous in the early 2010s when it posted some of the highest THC results reported at the time. The name refers to the mild-mannered scientist who turns into the Hulk, a nod to how much power is hidden in an ordinary-looking plant. The best known phenotype of the original is Bruce Banner #3.

The 2.0 line is sold as an updated version of that strain, bred toward a quicker finish and more even plants while keeping the OG and strawberry diesel character. It leans sativa, about 60/40, and grows tall with vigorous branching, but it is not difficult to manage.

Bruce Banner 2.0 strain effects and experience

Bruce Banner 2.0 comes on quickly. Within a few minutes there is a strong wave of euphoria and energy, a sense of focus and a creative push. It is a good strain for a project, an outdoor walk or a social afternoon. After an hour, the OG Kush side begins to show with a relaxing body feeling, and it eases off into a calm, comfortable state over the following two hours.

At 24% to 29% THC, it is powerful, and the fast onset can surprise people. Take a small amount first, wait, and add more only if needed.

Bruce Banner 2.0 flavour, aroma and appearance

The aroma is a mix of sweet and fuel, often compared to kerosene softened with strawberry. Break a bud and a citrus, sour diesel note appears with an earthy pine base from OG Kush. Myrcene, caryophyllene and limonene lead the terpene profile. The smoke is smooth, with diesel on the inhale and a sweet berry and lemon exhale.

The buds are large and moderately dense, lime green with bright orange pistils and a thick layer of trichomes. On a cool finish, some plants show a slight purple tint.

Growing Bruce Banner 2.0 in Canada

Indoors

Bruce Banner 2.0 stretches about two times after the flip, so veg for three to four weeks and flip at 40 to 50 cm to finish at 100 to 160 cm. It is a vigorous, hungry plant that handles a moderate to heavy feed, and it likes 22 to 27 degrees. Flowering takes 56 to 63 days. The plant is known for good resistance to mould and pests, but keep humidity under 50% in late flower anyway, since the large colas hold moisture. A screen of green or a single net makes the most of its many branches.

Outdoors, by region

An 8 to 9 week flower lets Bruce Banner 2.0 finish across most of Canada. In BC and southern Ontario, plant out in late May and harvest in late September. Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia growers usually harvest in the last days of September or the first week of October with a sunny, sheltered location. On the Prairies, start indoors in April, transplant after the last frost, and expect to finish in late September; a large fabric pot you can move under cover on a frost night is useful. The plant can reach 220 cm outdoors, so give it space and stake the main branches by late August. Our best outdoor seeds for Canada guide lists other strains that finish in September.

Height and training

Top at the fourth or fifth node, then use low stress training to spread the branches. Bruce Banner 2.0 responds well to training and forms a wide canopy with many strong colas. Thin the inner growth at the start of flower to improve airflow. The stems are strong, but the biggest colas may need support in the final two weeks.

Flowering and harvest cues

Harvest when trichomes are mostly cloudy with 5% to 10% amber, typically day 58 to 63, for a balance of energy and relaxation. Cutting later, at 20% amber, gives a heavier OG effect. Dry for 10 to 14 days at 60% humidity and around 18 degrees. The strawberry notes become clearer after two to three weeks of curing.

Bruce Banner 2.0 yield indoors and outdoors

Under a good LED, a trained Bruce Banner 2.0 canopy returns 450 to 600 g/m². Outdoors, a full-season plant in BC, Ontario or Quebec gives 600 to 900 g dried, and Prairie plants usually return 400 to 600 g. The combination of a short flower, strong yields and high potency is why this is one of the most popular strains in our catalogue.

Who Bruce Banner 2.0 is for, and who should pick something else

Grow Bruce Banner 2.0 if you want a potent strain that finishes before the Canadian frost, if you like a strong, euphoric daytime high, or if you want a reliable, high-yielding plant. Bruce Banner 2.0 seeds also suit growers stepping up from beginner strains to something more powerful.

Pick something else if you are sensitive to high THC, if you want a gentle, relaxing evening strain, or if you have very little headroom.

How Bruce Banner 2.0 compares

Bruce Banner is the original feminized version, with a similar effect and a slightly longer flower. Strawberry Diesel is a parent and shows where the fruit and fuel come from. OG Kush, the other parent, is earthier and heavier. Sour Diesel gives a similar diesel energy with less sweetness. Among our sativa feminized seeds, Bruce Banner 2.0 is the potency pick, and it appears in our high THC seeds guide.
