Homegrown Review: Bruce Banner by John Grow #14
We don’t get to review as many sativa strains as we do hybrid and indica strains, so I asked John Grow #14 to tell us about a special sativa strain he has mothered for quite some time now: Dark Horse Genetics’s original Bruce Banner breeder’s cut.
Bruce Banner is a legendary sativa-dominant cross of Strawberry Diesel and OG Kush. John Grow #14 has won grow-off competitions with this mother plant and continues to grow her for his specific medical needs. The thumb-sized pine-green buds are heavily frosted with trichomes and thick with rust-colored pistils. The well-cured and trimmed buds carry the perfect moister and really blooms in aroma once grinded. The aroma hits with sweet earthy spice, hops, and citrus. The flavor takes it a step further with added heavier notes of kushy sweet citrus, especially on the inhale, with notes of sweet pine, earth, wood, lavender, and spice following on the exhale. For patients who really enjoy that sweet citrus and earth combination, Bruce Banner creates a perfect mix.
But Bruce Banner is most known for its effects. The fast-hitting potent strain matches an uplifting cerebral high with a relaxing body buzz. The euphoric headspace is energetic and mood boosting with focus and creativity but without that sativa anxiousness.
The body buzz also carries a boost in mood and ability to complete physical activities without as much pain, but at the same time offers a relaxation that helps remove stress and anxiety. Bruce Banner’s balance of euphoric, motivational, and a stress-free relaxation allows for morning, day, and night use.
