B-52 Bomber
B-52 Bomber
Also known as: B-52, B52 Bomber, Durban Dream
Overview
B-52 Bomber is a notable cannabis strain that exists in multiple genetic variations, creating some confusion in the cannabis community. There are at least two major phenotypes sharing this name with significantly different characteristics. The most commonly encountered version is derived from a cross between Durban Poison and Blue Dream, creating a sativa-dominant hybrid sometimes referred to as 'Durban Dream'. However, another distinct version exists as an indica-dominant hybrid (75% indica/25% sativa) crossed from Big Bud and Skunk #1 strains. The strain's name pays homage to the iconic B-52 bomber aircraft, symbolizing its potent characteristics and precision in effects. Developed by various breeders including Nirvana Seeds and Verano, this strain is known for delivering remarkable cerebral effects with a sweet mix of skunky flavors. The strain has gained recognition for both commercial cultivation and consumer appeal, offering big, dense colas with an 8-9 week flowering period.

Growing Information
B-52 Bomber typically flowers in 8-9 weeks indoors, making it a relatively quick-finishing strain. Indoor yields range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce up to 600 grams per plant. The strain is considered easy to grow and beginner-friendly, with good resilience and forgiving cultivation requirements. It thrives in controlled indoor environments with temperatures around 70-80°F, responding well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training. Outdoors, it prefers warm, sunny Mediterranean-like climates with good airflow and well-draining soil. The strain shows minimal stretch during flowering and finishes by early to mid-October when grown outdoors. Nutrient management is straightforward, accepting moderate to high feeding with proper pH control (5.8-6.0 in coco, 6.3-6.8 in soil).
