Auto Bruce Banner by 207 Genetics
OG Kush × Strawberry Diesel × Cannabis ruderalis
Auto Bruce Banner by 207 Genetics is an autoflowering hybrid strain bred to offer the potency and flavor of its photoperiod predecessor with the convenience of day-neutral flowering. This cultivar combines the celebrated traits of Bruce Banner with the automatic flowering characteristic of Cannabis ruderalis.
Appearance and Morphology
This strain typically grows to a medium stature indoors, ranging from 70-120 cm, and is suitable for most grow spaces. It often exhibits a strong central cola, though low-stress training can encourage lateral growth. The leaves display a hybrid morphology, falling between the broadness of indica and the narrowness of sativa. During flowering, calyxes develop into dense clusters, heavily coated in resin, with pistils that change from cream to rust as the plant matures.
Phenotypes may exhibit burgundy or plum hues, particularly if exposed to cooler nighttime temperatures late in the flowering cycle, a trait often associated with Strawberry Diesel influence. The dried buds are firm but not excessively hard, offering a balance of visual appeal and ease of handling.
Aroma and Flavor Profile
The aroma of Auto Bruce Banner is complex, evolving from fresh lime and strawberry notes with hints of pine and sweet herb early in bloom. As flowering progresses, a distinct diesel-fuel scent emerges, intensifying the overall bouquet. Post-cure, the aroma presents a blend of sweet and fuel-forward notes, with prominent citrus, strawberry, and grape undertones layered over earthy, peppery, and petrol characteristics.
On inhalation, flavors commonly include candied citrus and strawberry, complemented by pine and sweet earth. The experience is often followed by a diesel twang and black pepper spice, with a lingering finish of lemon zest and subtle floral notes. Vaporization at moderate temperatures tends to highlight fruit and pine, while combustion brings forward the diesel and spicy elements.
Effects and Potential Benefits
Auto Bruce Banner is known for delivering a cerebral effect, indicative of its hybrid nature. While specific details on its full spectrum of effects are not detailed, the strain is generally associated with the potent characteristics inherited from the Bruce Banner lineage. Consumers have reported that it may help with managing stress.
Terpenes and Cannabinoids
This cultivar is characterized by a THC content typically ranging from 18% to 24%, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is noted for its complexity, with Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, and Pinene being among the identified compounds. These terpenes contribute to the strain's diverse aromatic and flavor characteristics, from citrus and floral notes to spicy and diesel undertones.
Cultivation Insights
As an autoflowering strain, Auto Bruce Banner transitions to flowering based on age rather than light cycle, typically completing its life cycle from seed in 70-90 days. It thrives under an 18-20 hour light schedule throughout its growth. The plant demonstrates strong vigor and is considered relatively manageable, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. Its compact size and relatively fast maturation time allow for efficient harvests.
Origins and Lineage
Auto Bruce Banner by 207 Genetics is an autoflowering version derived from the original Bruce Banner strain. The genetic foundation of Bruce Banner is a cross between OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel, known for its high THC content. 207 Genetics incorporated Cannabis ruderalis genetics to introduce the autoflowering trait, resulting in a strain that flowers automatically without the need for specific light cycle changes.
