Bruce Banner Strain Review – Bonza Blog
Bruce Banner is a mild-mannered scientist. Shy and unassuming, he has stayed off the grid for pretty much of his life. As much as the doctor tries to control his temper, there is a point when enough is enough. Once he snaps, the Incredible Hulk takes over and unleashes its wrath on anything and everything.
In the same manner, the strain named after the doctor is not one that commands attention with its looks. However, hidden beneath its flowers and buds is the monster inside that is pure aggression. It may sound ominous to non-cannabis users, but for those who love the intense effects, then Bruce Banner is an excellent choice.
To develop this hybrid, Dark Horse Genetics used OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel. While it was widely available in Colorado, Bruce Banner and its phenotypes have since been made accessible worldwide by online retailers.
