What is the Bruce Banner strain?
Bruce Banner is a sativa-leaning cross of OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel credited to Jason Holck of Dark Horse Genetics in Denver, and feminized seed grows it as female photoperiod plants only. Seed banks selling feminized lines, most labeled Bruce Banner #3, list 24–30% THC, 8 to 10 weeks of flowering and an outdoor finish between late September and early October. Untrained plants can get tall, and the buds smell of diesel over ripe strawberry.
Ratio from ILGM's feminized listing. AllBud rates the #3 cut 80% sativa, while SeedFinder's Dark Horse Genetics entry calls it mostly indica.
MSNL lists its feminized Bruce Banner #3 at 180–220 cm and warns of a strong stretch in early flowering.
Bruce Banner strain specs
These Bruce Banner figures come from seed banks that sell feminized seed, mainly MSNL, ILGM and Weed Seed Express, with background from SeedFinder, AllBud and Cannigma. The original breeder publishes no feminized spec sheet, so height and yield differ by seller and each row gives the spread.

Where does the Bruce Banner strain come from?
Bruce Banner traces to Jason Holck, who founded Dark Horse Genetics in Denver and paired an OG Kush cut with Strawberry Diesel in the 2000s. The cross gave several numbered sister plants, and #3 is the one that set the name's reputation for strength. Dark Horse's own seed releases are mostly regular, so feminized Bruce Banner comes from seed companies that coax a selected female into making pollen and use it to produce all-female seed.
Not every database credits the same name. AllBud and SeedFinder list Delta 9 Labs as the breeder, while Cannigma and Westword credit Holck and Dark Horse. Westword reports that Bruce Banner helped Delta 9 build a cult following in Denver, and Holck says he lost ownership of that business when verbal agreements fell through. Whichever credit a pack carries, the plant is the same OG Kush × Strawberry Diesel cross.
What does Bruce Banner #3 on a feminized pack mean?
It means the seed company built its feminized line from the #3 phenotype, the most famous of the numbered sister plants from the original cross. The #3 cut is known for very high THC and a strong diesel nose. Seeds made from it are still new genetic combinations rather than copies of the clone, so expect some variation in height, stretch and smell from plant to plant.
Found a keeper? Keep her. Feminized Bruce Banner is a photoperiod plant, so a cutting taken in veg can stay under 18 hours of light as a mother and supply clones of your best female for future runs.
What do feminized Bruce Banner buds taste like, and how do they feel?
Aroma and flavor
Feminized Bruce Banner buds smell of diesel fuel first, with sweet strawberry and earthy tones underneath, and ILGM adds citrus and floral notes on the exhale.
- Diesel
- Strawberry
- Earthy
- Citrus
- Floral
- Pungent
Terpenes
- Caryophyllene
- Warm, peppery base listed by both ILGM and MSNL
- Myrcene
- Earthy, ripe-fruit depth
- Limonene
- Citrus brightness on top of the fuel
- Linalool
- Soft floral note named by MSNL
Seed sellers name these terpenes for feminized Bruce Banner but publish no lab percentages, and the order shifts between lines.
Reported effects
Bruce Banner is known for a quick, euphoric lift that turns creative and upbeat before a relaxed body feel takes over. ILGM lists euphoric, relaxed and uplifted, MSNL simply calls its #3 uplifting, and AllBud reviewers of the #3 cut describe a strong opening rush followed by a long come-down.
- Euphoric
- Uplifted
- Creative
- Energetic
- Relaxed
Bruce Banner's listed downsides are cottonmouth and dry eyes, and ILGM warns that headaches, anxiety or paranoia can follow if people overdo it.
These effects summarize ILGM and MSNL descriptions and AllBud reviews of Bruce Banner #3. People respond in different ways, and nothing here is medical advice.
How do you grow Bruce Banner seeds?
Feminized Bruce Banner seeds grow best with a planned veg and early training: veg for 4 to 6 weeks, top and spread the plant, set a SCROG net before the switch to 12/12, then flower for 8 to 10 weeks. Every plant is female, so the whole space goes to buds, but the strong stretch and fuel smell need planning from day one.
- Germinate2–7 days
Sow one feminized Bruce Banner seed per plant you intend to flower; there are no males to cull, so spares are optional.
- Vegetate4–6 weeks
Veg length decides the finished size. Top above the fourth or fifth node and tie branches outward so the canopy fills evenly.
- Flower8–10 weeks
MSNL warns of a strong stretch early in bloom; keep tucking new shoots under the net until upward growth slows.
- HarvestDay 56–77 indoors · late Sep to early Oct outdoors
Harvest when most trichomes look cloudy with a few amber, then dry slowly to hold on to the strawberry note.
Grow tips for Bruce Banner
- Check your headroom first. Untrained feminized Bruce Banner #3 can reach 180–220 cm by MSNL's figures, so short tents call for topping, LST or a shorter veg.
- Grow fewer, wider plants. With no males taking up space, a few well-trained females can fill a tent; ILGM recommends SCROG and stress training for this strain.
- Keep a mother. Photoperiod Bruce Banner can be held in veg indefinitely. Root a cutting from your favorite plant before flowering and keep it under long days.
- Plan for the fuel smell. ILGM notes a strong scent on outdoor Bruce Banner, and indoors the diesel side gets loud late in bloom, so fit a carbon filter early.
- Keep the dark period dark. Feminized plants can throw stray male flowers under stress such as light leaks or heat spikes; check buds in mid-bloom and pick off any pollen sacs.
- Beat the fall rain. Outdoors, Bruce Banner finishes from late September to early October; in wet regions, a greenhouse or rain cover protects the dense colas.
Is Bruce Banner the right strain for you?
Great pick if you
- Want buds from every plant, with no males to find
- Like diesel-and-strawberry flavor and very high THC
- Have the headroom or skills to train a tall, stretchy plant
- Want a photoperiod plant you can keep as a mother
Think twice if you
- Need a small plant that finishes fast (the autoflower version suits that)
- Want males for breeding (regular seeds suit that)
- Are new to cannabis or sensitive to strong highs
- Can't contain a loud fuel smell
Bruce Banner strain FAQ
Are feminized Bruce Banner seeds all female?
Feminized Bruce Banner seeds are bred to grow female plants, so nearly every seed should flower into buds. Heavy stress such as light leaks can still make a feminized plant form a few male flowers, so look the plants over in mid-bloom.
Is Bruce Banner indica or sativa?
Bruce Banner is sativa-dominant in most listings. ILGM puts its feminized line at 60% sativa and 40% indica, AllBud rates the #3 phenotype 80% sativa, and SeedFinder's breeder entry calls it mostly indica, so individual plants vary.
How strong is feminized Bruce Banner?
Feminized Bruce Banner seed lines list about 24–30% THC, with ILGM giving up to 31%. AllBud's average for the #3 cut is 23–29%. These are seller and database ranges, not a lab result for your plants, and growing conditions change the outcome.
How long does feminized Bruce Banner take to flower?
Feminized Bruce Banner flowers in about 8 to 10 weeks after the change to 12/12, and ILGM's spec tile gives 77 days. Outdoors north of the equator, plants finish between late September and early October.
How tall does feminized Bruce Banner grow?
Weed Seed Express lists 100–150 cm indoors and 140–210 cm outdoors, while MSNL rates its feminized #3 as tall at 180–220 cm. Bruce Banner stretches hard early in bloom, so topping and a SCROG net help in a tent.
How much does feminized Bruce Banner yield?
Feminized Bruce Banner listings give about 500–600 g/m² indoors. Outdoors, Weed Seed Express lists 400–500 g per plant and ILGM up to about 540 g (19 oz) per plant in good conditions.
What is the difference between Bruce Banner and Bruce Banner #3?
Bruce Banner is the name of the OG Kush × Strawberry Diesel cross, and #3 is the most famous of its numbered phenotypes. Most feminized seeds are sold as Bruce Banner #3 because the seed companies made them from that cut.
Who created Bruce Banner?
Bruce Banner is credited to Jason Holck of Dark Horse Genetics in Denver. Some strain databases, including AllBud and SeedFinder, list Delta 9 Labs instead, the Denver business Holck helped build before, by his account, he lost ownership of it.
Can you clone feminized Bruce Banner?
Yes. Feminized Bruce Banner is a photoperiod plant, so cuttings taken during veg root and stay vegetative under 18 hours of light. Many growers keep a mother of their best plant and run clones from her afterward.
