Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the signal that stays true to a cultivar’s genetics, which is why scientists classify cannabis by chemical profile (a “chemovar”) rather than by name (Hazekamp & Fischedick 2012). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s data comes online.

Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 30%Sativa 70%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About Bruce Banner

Bruce Banner is a cross between OG Kush (2004 selection) and Strawberry Diesel, resulting in an Indica dominant plant with a vigorous and strong development that can reach more than 3m cultivated in open ground. This plant acquires a large, tall and ramified structure, with strong widen stems that allow for optimal light penetration. This helps to provide an abundant flower yield distributed all over its branches in dense and voluminous colas. It is perfectly adapted to indoor growing with SCROG, SOG, Lollypopping or Supercropping methods. These optimisation systems help to increase the yield while making the most of the available cultivation space. Bruce Banner by Advanced Seeds, high THC levels and fruity, diesel and floral aroma It is ready to harvest in about 60-65 days, with a more than satisfactory bud yield of about 500g per m2 in an indoor grow tent. Outdoors it offers a yield of about 650g per plant when cultivated in open ground or in a pot of at least 40L volume. The buds are dense and very sticky, laden with bright resin trichomes and fairly large calyxes with few leaves in between them. It produces an intense aroma, complex and full of nuances thanks to its high terpen
