Named after the alter-ego of The Incredible Hulk, Bruce Banner delivers a cerebral smash that induces a substantial high with an added energy boost. Chocolope, however, is an almost pure Sativa with euphoric effects. The combination of these two birthed a rare, recreationally satisfying strain with immense therapeutic potential.

This fruity and chocolatey specimen has up 20% THC content and retains all the best qualities of its parents. It uplifts the mood, as well as bringing a bit of relaxation that levels out the soaring high.

Bruce Banner x Chocolope buds are hard to come by, so growing your own crop from Homegrown Cannabis Co.'s feminized seeds may be the only way to get hold of them. The plants are easy to nurture and require little assistance as they reach full maturity. Best of all, they yield a considerable harvest of flowers covered with abundant trichomes, ensuring a potent punch in every dose.

Growing Bruce Banner x Chocolope Feminized Seeds

At only 3 to 4 feet tall, Bruce Banner x Chocolope is tiny for a Sativa-dominant plant. It can easily be grown indoors, in small to medium grow cabinets, or outside. Apart from its height, the plant stays loyal to its species. It has sparse foliage of vivid green, slender-fingered leaves, held by thin branches growing from a single stem. The colas are enormous and long – a real sight to behold.

This combination of traits comes with both positives and negatives. The weight of the buds means that extra support will likely be needed, but the minimal leafage means moisture accumulation is rarely a problem.

The dense flowers are medium-to-large in size, and heavily coated with a rich glaze of resin that glimmers white as harvest approaches. This trichome-rich beauty is excellent for concentrate extraction.

If you're cultivating more than one Bruce Banner x Chocolope in a controlled environment, make sure you leave adequate space between them for lateral growth. A Sea of Green setup can boost yields if you're growing 4 o 9 plants in a square yard. The Screen of Green method can also be used – this technique supports the thin limbs while also increasing output. Keep the temperature between 70 and 80°F, along with 40 to 50% RH level, and a yield of 1.31 to 1.96 ounces of buds per square foot could be yours after 8 to 9 weeks of flowering.

Growing outdoors in a warm and semi-humid location can be just as bountiful. Coastal, subtropical areas like California, Australia and the Mediterranean are ideal. In the most favorable settings, a single plant can produce up to 21 ounces of gluey buds, which can be collected by mid-October in the northern hemisphere.

Fragrance and Flavor

This plant oozes a sweet chocolate aroma with a musky earthiness and fuel-like undertone. When lit up, the damp soil notes become stronger, and there are also fruity nuances and hints of cocoa. On exhale, a subtle spiciness lingers, warming the inside of the mouth.

Effects

Bruce Banner x Chocolope is the quintessential wake and bake weed. It awakens sleepy minds with a surge of euphoria that makes mornings seem brighter than ever. With this new baby by the bedside, waking up with an uplifted spirit and a smile on the face becomes the norm.

Some people notice increased visual and auditory sensitivity, which can make typical morning routines such as watching TV or listening to music more enjoyable.

Even better, the happy mindset comes with a boost of mental energy that fuels both cerebral and physical activity. The body feels energized and full of life, but it does not escalate to hyperactivity.

Extreme hunger is likely to manifest as well, so it's a good idea to have snacks within reach. Choose healthy foods if at all possible – especially if you find yourself munching regularly.

Medical

Bruce Banner x Chocolope's potent compounds make it a potentially versatile therapeutic herb. It's been used to alleviate psychological concerns as well as various causes of physical discomfort.

THC is said to be a powerful anxiolytic that may alleviate stress, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar and depression – and this strain has it in abundance. The plant's analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties may temporarily eliminate chronic pains and aches caused by migraines, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, neuropathic agony and other conditions.

The strain's invigorating influence may fight off sluggishness and fatigue, and its ‘munchies' effect may increase appetite and lessen the impact of eating disorders. Gastrointestinal concerns such as nausea and vomiting, commonly caused by treatments like chemotherapy, may also improve.

It's important to stick to the recommended dosage, since the (up to) 20% THC level can cause dry eyes and cottonmouth even in modest amounts. If too much is taken, more worrying side effects such as dizziness, anxiety or paranoia may occur.
