Bruce Banger
Bruce Banger
Also known as: Bruce Banner
Overview
Bruce Banger emerged in the 2010s as a European-bred homage to the famous Bruce Banner lineage from Colorado. Developed primarily by Seedsman, this strain was created to capture the diesel-strawberry punch and high-octane potency of Bruce Banner while stabilizing structure and finishing times for broader climates. The strain represents a sativa-dominant hybrid (approximately 60/40 sativa-dominant) that combines the intense fuel essence inherited from its Strawberry Diesel lineage with the potent effects characteristic of OG Kush genetics.
Bruce Banger produces oversized pepper-shaped emerald green buds with dark undertones, thick orange hairs, and dense coverage of milky white crystal trichomes. The plants typically grow compact with a broad, bushy structure characteristic of high-quality hybrid strains, reaching heights of 60-100 centimeters indoors while maintaining manageable growth patterns. The strain is renowned for its vigorous growth habits, robust resin production, and distinctive diesel-berry bouquet that has made it a catalog mainstay among European breeders and a favorite for both commercial and home cultivators seeking a terpene-rich, high-potency hybrid.

Growing Information
Bruce Banger is considered suitable for intermediate growers and adapts well to indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse cultivation across various growing media. The strain exhibits vigorous growth with good resistance to common pests and diseases. Flowering time ranges from 63-70 days (9-10 weeks), with some phenotypes finishing slightly earlier under optimal conditions. Indoor yields typically range from 500-600g per square meter, while outdoor cultivation can produce up to 700g per plant when grown in full ground conditions. The strain performs best in temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C) with consistent environmental conditions. Bruce Banger responds well to training techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST) to encourage lateral growth and improve yields. A fast-flowering version is also available that reduces flowering time to approximately 63 days while maintaining the core potency and flavor characteristics.
