💥 Bruce Banner Auto Feminised Seeds — High-Potency Autoflower from Dark Horse Genetics

Bruce Banner Auto feminised seeds deliver one of the most potent autoflowering experiences available. Bred from the legendary Bruce Banner photoperiod line (OG Kush × Strawberry Diesel), these autoflowering cannabis seeds pack 22-26% THC into a fast 10-11 week seed-to-harvest cycle with no light schedule changes required.

Why Bruce Banner Auto is popular in Australia: This strain thrives in Australian climates—both indoor tent setups and outdoor grows across Queensland, NSW, Victoria, and WA. The autoflowering genetics mean you can run multiple harvests per year without managing photoperiod timing, making it ideal for first-time growers and experienced cultivators looking for quick turnaround.

What you get: When Dark Horse Genetics released the original Bruce Banner photoperiod in the early 2010s, it quickly stood out for combining OG Kush's heavy gas with the bright, energetic lift of Strawberry Diesel. At the time, recorded THC levels north of 25% were rare—Bruce Banner helped change that.

The autoflowering version preserves that high-energy, high-potency character while adding speed and simplicity. The genetics combine OG Kush and Strawberry Diesel with a ruderalis autoflowering line, maintaining the cerebral clarity and physical relaxation of the photoperiod original while cutting grow time and complexity.

Yield potential: 450-550g/m² indoors under LED or HPS lighting, 100-200g per plant outdoors. That's impressive for an autoflower—most autos produce 50-100g per plant, but Bruce Banner Auto routinely exceeds 100g with proper care.

You lose a bit of the massive photoperiod yields, but you gain speed, simplicity, and a plant that won't punish beginner mistakes. No light cycle management, no photoperiod stress—just plant, grow, and harvest in under 3 months.

❤️ What Makes Bruce Banner Auto Worth Growing

It's genuinely reliable. Bruce Banner Auto doesn't need perfect conditions or advanced technique. Give it decent light (18/6 or 20/4), moderate feeding, and reasonable temperature control (20-26°C), and it delivers. That consistency matters when you're planning harvests or working with limited space. First-time growers get results, and experienced growers appreciate the predictability.

The yield surprises people. Most autos produce 30-80g per plant outdoors. Bruce Banner Auto routinely pushes past 100g outdoors, and well over that indoors under proper LED lighting (450-550g/m²). For a 10-11 week turnaround, that's genuinely impressive—approaching photoperiod-level production in an autoflower timeline.

The potency holds up. This isn't "strong for an auto"—it's just strong. The 22-26% THC range puts it in line with many photoperiod strains. The high is clear and functional at first, then settles into steady physical relaxation without heavy couch-lock. Experienced users won't feel shortchanged, and the sativa-leaning profile keeps it versatile for different times of day.

Speed matters. From seed to harvest in 10-11 weeks means you can run 4+ cycles per year indoors, or get multiple outdoor harvests in warm Australian climates. That rapid turnaround is valuable for learning (faster feedback on techniques) and for maintaining consistent supply.

🌿 Bruce Banner Auto Effects & Experience

Onset (5-10 minutes): Fast cerebral clarity hits first—focused, motivated, slightly euphoric. Mental fog clears, creativity sparks, and energy levels rise. Good for daytime tasks, creative work, or social situations. The sativa-leaning genetics show up here with brightness and mental engagement.

Mid-phase (30-60 minutes): Energy levels stabilize. Mental engagement stays strong, but body tension starts to release. You're still functional and present, not scattered or anxious. Physical comfort builds without sedation. This is the sweet spot for productivity with relaxation.

Late-phase (1-2 hours): Gentle physical relaxation deepens. Not sedating, but you'll feel calm and comfortable. The body effects balance the mental clarity—you're relaxed but not glued down. Good for winding down without completely checking out.

Duration: 2-3 hours for most users, with effects tapering gradually. No harsh crash or irritability on the comedown.

Potency check: 22-26% THC means this hits harder than many autoflowers. If you're not a regular user, start with one or two hits. A full joint might be too much for newer consumers.

Flavour profile: Sweet berry and citrus on the inhale, diesel and earthy OG on the exhale. The terpene profile (myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, pinene) delivers complexity without harshness—smooth smoke with layered flavours. The Strawberry Diesel genetics contribute fruity sweetness, while OG Kush adds fuel and earth.

Common uses (anecdotal): Daytime stress relief, mood support, creative focus, managing physical tension without sedation, social anxiety, mild pain relief. Dose matters—lower amounts stay functional and uplifting, higher doses lean more toward body relaxation and evening use.

Often described as an auto that still feels "full strength"—not watered down like some autoflowering strains can be.

🌱 Growing Bruce Banner Auto Feminised Seeds — Complete Guide

Best growing environments: Thrives indoors under LED or HPS lighting (18/6 or 20/4 schedule), performs well outdoors in warm Australian climates. Ideal for Queensland, Northern NSW, and Western Australia where you can run multiple outdoor cycles year-round. Indoor growers in cooler climates (Victoria, SA, Tasmania) get consistent results with environmental control.

Timeline: 10-11 weeks from seed to harvest total. No separate vegetative period—autos flower based on age (usually week 3-4), not light cycle changes. This means no photoperiod management and no risk of re-vegging.

Container size: 15-20L minimum for best results. Bigger pots = bigger plants and better yields. Start seeds directly in final containers—autoflowers hate transplanting and won't recover the lost time. Fabric pots work particularly well for root development and preventing overwatering.

Light schedule: 18/6 (18 hours on, 6 hours off) or 20/4 throughout the entire grow cycle. More light generally means more yield, but 18/6 works fine and saves electricity. No need to switch to 12/12 like photoperiod strains. Some growers run 24/0 but plants benefit from a dark period for metabolism.

Height: 70-100cm typically, making it suitable for small tents and stealth grows. The bushy structure with strong lateral branching means it grows out as much as up, filling available space efficiently.

Training: Gentle LST (low-stress training) only. Tie down branches to open the canopy and improve light penetration starting around week 2-3. Do not top or heavily prune—autos don't have time to recover from high-stress techniques, and you'll reduce final yield. Light tucking and bending is fine; aggressive defoliation or topping will hurt you.

Feeding: Start light—1/4 to 1/2 recommended nutrient strength initially. Autos don't need heavy nitrogen like photoperiods. Follow a light autoflower nutrient schedule and watch for tip burn (nutrient burn shows as brown crispy leaf tips). Pull back nitrogen around week 7-8 of the grow to keep flavours clean and prevent overly leafy buds. Bruce Banner Auto can handle moderate feeding once established but start conservative.

Climate requirements:

• Temperature: 20-26°C ideal during the day, 18-22°C at night
• Humidity: 50-60% during early growth, drop to 40-50% during flowering
• Late flower (final 2 weeks): Get humidity under 45% if possible to prevent mould
• Airflow: Good circulation prevents mould and strengthens stems—use oscillating fans

Common mistakes to avoid:

• Transplanting (causes permanent growth stunting—autos can't recover lost time)
• Too-small pots (limits root development and final yield—use 15L minimum)
• Heavy training or topping (reduces harvest significantly)
• Overfeeding (autos are more sensitive than photoperiods—start light)
• Poor airflow in late flower (invites mould in dense buds)
• Overwatering early (wait until pots feel light before watering again)

Australian outdoor growing: Plant in October-November for summer growing in southern states. In Queensland and Northern NSW, you can run multiple cycles throughout the year. Autos flower regardless of season, so you can plant any time temperatures stay above 15°C consistently. Protect from heavy rain in late flower—the moderately dense bud structure can hold water. Outdoor plants typically finish 100-200g each depending on conditions and container size.

Indoor growing in Australia: Works in any sized tent from 60cm × 60cm upwards. Under 300W+ LED or 400W+ HPS, expect 450-550g/m². The compact height (70-100cm) makes it suitable for tents with limited vertical space. Popular choice for Australian apartment growers and those with noise/smell concerns (though you'll still need carbon filtration—the diesel-berry aroma is noticeable).
