Effects

This is where Bruce Banner x Carmen Feminized really shines, due to her elevated CBD content and perfectly balanced THC to CBD ratio. Measuring at about 10% in both instances, this isn’t the kind of strain that’s going to tear off your head and roll it down the street.

 

Even if you’re not a particularly seasoned smoker, you’ll find this cannabis comprehensively easy to handle.

 

The high begins with a feeling of motivation and enthusiasm, though not to such an extent as to result in nervous energy. There’s a delightful clear-headedness to the whole experience – Bruce Banner x Carmen Feminized is also known for bringing on wave after wave of inspired creativity.

 

You’ll never be sent over the edge into a state of frantic euphoria – you’ll simply feel on top of the world and capable of achieving just about anything.

 

Soon after this initial cerebral uplift kicks in, a warm and relaxing body stone begins making its way through the extremities. Though again, never to such an extent as to come close to incapacitation. You’ll still have the ‘get up and go’ needed to do whatever it is you need to do – couch-lock with this cannabis is more or less out of the question.

 

All aspects of the experience are enhanced by the strain’s elevated CBD content, which (to an extent) counters the effects of the THC to keep things grounded. This is a true ‘best of all worlds’ strain, which can be just about anything you want it to be. All with pretty much zero risk of paranoia or panic attacks, for those with an underdeveloped THC tolerance.

Medical Uses of Bruce Banner x Carmen Feminized

Again, the fact that Bruce Banner x Carmen Feminized balances the best of all worlds makes her an absolute superstar on the therapeutic cannabis scene.

The initial cerebral uplift is great for getting to grips with the occasional bout of depression or anxiety, or when simply in need of a mood-boost. Bruce Banner x Carmen Feminized is just the thing to reach for at the end of a hard day, or when looking to make the most of a quiet afternoon at home. Though the body stone is equally mild in nature, it can still do the business where mild to moderate aches and pains are concerned.

 

All of which is enhanced further by the herb’s elevated CBD content, which is renowned for notable antidepressant and anxiolytic effects.

 

Insatiable bouts of the munchies are far from guaranteed, but you can certainly expect Bruce Banner x Carmen Feminized to bring a good few hunger pangs, too.

Growing Bruce Banner x Carmen Feminized Seeds

As this is the feminized version of the strain, you’re looking at only female plants in your crop, with problematic males eliminated from the equation. As long as you can keep temperatures between 20°C and 25°C, the rest more or less takes care of itself.

 

Bruce Banner x Carmen Fem typically reaches heights of around 120cm, so you don’t need a great deal of space to get the job done. Expect a flowering time of approximately eight weeks, after which you should be looking at around 500g of quality cannabis for every square meter of grow space.

 

If growing outdoors, aim to harvest at the beginning of October at the latest. Bruce Banner x Carmen Feminized works well in both soil and hydro setups, but you don’t need any particularly sophisticated gear to get the best out of these beauties.
