A Game of Russian Roulette

Bud Basics

The ultimate fusion of superstar genetics? Quite possibly. Born of a combination of soothing White Russian and brain-busting Bruce Banner, this Indica-leaning hybrid is a proud tribute to her parent strains.

Complex on the nose and a gift to grow, Bruce Banner x White Russian is a tolerance-tester that’s not to be underestimated.

She’s also an unpredictable mistress at the best of times, with a wildly varying THC content from one batch to the next. Depending on how well she's grown and cured, you could be looking at anything from 15% THC to a whopping 25% THC. Suffice to say, taking it slow at first to find out what you’re dealing with is a sensible idea!

Either way, Bruce Banner x White Russian Feminized can be counted on for a beautifully intense high that hits body and brain in a matter of seconds. Whether you're looking to unwind after a lousy day at work or dealing with a bout of mild depression, a handful of tokes and you’re away with the fairies. All courtesy of a new-generation hybrid with a seriously complex flavor profile – diesel, strawberries, musk, earth – all there in the mix.

Flavor and Fragrance of Bruce Banner x White Russian Feminized

Dig a little deeper into the background of this hard-hitting strain and it’s a picture of pure pedigree across the board. Strawberry Diesel and OG Kush are notable contributors to this ganja's genetic composition – both of which make their presence known on the nose. 

There’s a curious combination of fresh fruits, sour fuel, musky earth and general dankness that’s intriguing if nothing else. All with plenty of added peppery spice when the buds are combusted, making for an interesting aftertaste that lingers for hours. A strain that’s guaranteed to divide audiences, though is worthy of appreciation irrespective of personal opinions.

If you really want to pick out and assess those subtler fragrance and flavor notes, reach for a vaporizer.
