How to grow Bruce Banner #3
Taste
Seb's take
Sweet, fruity diesel on the nose, from a Bruce Banner #3 and Strawberry Diesel pairing running 65% Sativa. The high is relaxed, happy and energetic, and the potency — up to 30% THC — is a sipping strain's numbers dressed in a session strain's easy-going effects.
Where it comes from
Herbies' Bruce Banner #3 is the numbered cut of the line most growers mean when they name it, here crossed again with Strawberry Diesel to reinforce both the fruit and the fuel. At 65 percent Sativa and up to 30 percent THC, the record pitches it squarely at the seasoned smoker, the sort whose tolerance has stopped being troubled by ordinary strains. A potent, Sativa-leaning hybrid with a well-documented pedigree and no modesty about its numbers.
Nose & flavour
Sweet and fruity up front with a diesel base beneath, the Strawberry Diesel on both sides of this cross making itself thoroughly heard. It is a rich, fuel-tinged nose, the fruit and the diesel in easy balance rather than fighting. Loud, ripe and unmistakable: it does not travel discreetly.
The high
The effect is an unusual pairing, relaxed and happy, yet energetic with it, the Sativa lean keeping some momentum under the calm. At 25 to 30 percent THC, though, the strength is the headline: this is a sipping strain, not a session one, capable of breaking a stubborn tolerance. Take it in measured amounts and the balance holds; overdo it and the energy rather deserts you.
Growing it
She reaches around 150cm, a medium-tall frame worth a little headroom, and finishes flower across a fairly wide 56 to 70 days depending on the pheno. Indoor yields sit at 450 to 500 g/m², a solid return for potency of this order. A straightforward enough plant to run for the numbers she carries; give her the vertical room, hold your patience through that flowering window, and she pays out reliably.
