Bruce Banner is the complete opposite of its namesake's rage-ridden alter ego, The Incredible Hulk. Euphoric to the very last trichome, its sweet, earthy goodness elevates the mood and carries users off into the clouds while at the same time revitalizing the body with mellow energy. It's a perfect strain for fighting off daytime sluggishness.

While it may sound like a great pre-work hit, the strain packs a powerful and long-lasting punch. It can cause the mind to quickly jump from one thought to another, so it's best avoided when concentration is needed. Having said that, it's an interesting and useful accompaniment to some creative pursuits.

If you're looking to build up a lavish stash of this vigorous variant, consider growing your own batch from Homegrown Cannabis Co.'s autoflowering seeds. The plant contains a blend of Bruce Banner and Ruderalis genetics, and it matures fast and needs very little attention from its owner. It can be placed by the window, under the stairs, or even a tiny grow cabinet as it only requires a small amount of space to thrive.

Growing Bruce Banner Autoflower Seeds

Although Sativa-dominant, Bruce Banner auto looks like a small Indica. The plant's bushiness hides its sturdy stem and branches, while showcasing its colas and huge, dense, green nuggets. When exposed to cold conditions, its leaves turn a deep magenta shade, and this aesthetic effect can also extend to the buds.

At full maturity it'll still be only 3 feet tall, so it can flourish in limited spaces. While that fact may be tempting enough on its own, the plant's key selling point is its high indoor yield. Keep the temperature around 69 to 80°F and grow in a Sea of Green setup and you could have 1.63 ounces per square foot within 9 – 10 weeks of flowering.

True to its Ruderalis roots, this tiny plant also thrives outdoors. A favorable climate is crucial, though, since the fast-growing auto won't have time to recover should it incur an injury or be stricken by disease. Harvest season stretches from July to October, with each plant producing up to 3.5 ounces of tightly packed nugs.

Fragrance and Flavor

Like the original plant, the autoflowering version of Bruce Banner shows off its Strawberry Diesel genetics as soon as its buds start producing gooey resin. It emits a berry-like sweetness with a hint of floral perfume that harmonizes perfectly with its strong fuel scent. When lit up, the flavor profile is pretty similar to the aroma, but it also includes an invigorating dash of citrus.

Effects

Although Bruce Banner auto is far from being beastly in its appearance, its up to 26% THC strength is comparable to a cerebral Hulk smash. It's an excellent daytime strain that can uplift the mind and remove any trace of lethargy in the body. Because it induces a powerful high that can send the brain thought-hopping while also prompting fits of the giggles, it's probably best to pick a different strain for a pre-work toke.

Bruce Banner is a great accompaniment for social events as it maintains energy and positive spirit for at least a few hours. At the same time, it boosts creative thinking, allowing the mind to roam free in search of new inspirations. It gives an energizing yet calming head to toe high that lingers.

Medical

Despite its tiny frame, the autoflowering version of Bruce Banner is just as potent as the regular plant, and it holds the same powerful compounds said to make it a versatile therapeutic herb. Because the strain contains a massive amount of THC, it must be enjoyed in low dosages with proper intervals between each hit – even by seasoned enthusiasts.

As with most strains, the cerebral effects manifest first. A single toke can help suppress stress and depression within minutes, creating a trouble-free mindset in which creative thoughts can roam.

This enlivening strain can also help combat tiredness and fatigue thanks to the invigorating kick it provides. The THCs robust anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties will also take effect, and may help alleviate chronic physical plain associated with the likes of arthritis and migraines.

There may, however, be some adverse side effects. Dry eyes and cottonmouth are common, and can be reduced by remaining hydrated throughout. Also – do not overindulge, because Bruce Banner's effects can quickly escalate and cause dizziness, anxiety and paranoia.
