Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Auto Bruce Banner is an auto-flowering cannabis strain developed by 207 Genetics, merging the renowned Bruce Banner lineage with ruderalis genetics. This hybridization results in a resilient plant with a faster growth cycle while aiming to preserve the original strain's potency and sensory characteristics. It offers a balanced experience suitable for both medicinal and recreational users.
Appearance
This strain produces dense, compact buds characteristic of auto-flowering varieties. The leaves are typically a vibrant green, sometimes displaying deep purple or burnt orange hues as flowering progresses. Buds are notably coated in trichomes, giving them a frosty appearance, and often reach up to 2 cm in diameter.
Aroma & Flavor
Auto Bruce Banner features a complex aromatic profile that begins with a pungent diesel scent, reminiscent of its predecessor. This is followed by subtle notes of berry and fruit, creating a multi-layered aroma.

Terpenes & Cannabinoids
The terpene profile is marked by myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene. Myrcene contributes earthy notes and potential relaxing effects, while limonene adds citrus aromas and mood elevation. Caryophyllene provides spicy, peppery undertones and may offer anti-inflammatory properties. Cannabinoid analysis shows THC levels typically between 15% and 22%, with CBD content below 1%.
Growing
Thanks to its ruderalis genetics, Auto Bruce Banner is an auto-flowering strain, meaning it will transition from vegetative to flowering stage automatically, independent of light cycles. This characteristic, combined with ruderalis's natural resilience, makes it a more manageable and faster-growing option for cultivators. It is known for its hardiness and suitability for various growing environments.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by 207 Genetics, Auto Bruce Banner is an evolution of the original Bruce Banner strain. It incorporates ruderalis genetics to achieve its auto-flowering trait, while maintaining a genetic balance that includes indica and sativa influences.
