Bruce Banner x Chocolope Feminized

Even though Bruce Banner x Chocolope Fem is a Sativa-dominant hybrid, it does not get very tall. It is compact and grows to an average-sized frame, making it suitable for beginners. Just cover the basics, and you will be guaranteed resinous THC-laden buds in no time. Despite its small size, it is a good yielder. Just remember to provide a support structure to bear the weight of the heavy buds as they develop on the lanky stems and branches. 

This strain adapts well to different growing environments, whether indoors or outdoors. However, if you want to ensure a more generous harvest of boldly-colored flowers layered with sparkly trichomes, place it in a controlled setting like a greenhouse. Using a hydroponics system is also advisable to increase productivity.

Since these seeds are feminized, there is pretty much zero chance of any male plants creeping in to contaminate the mix. This prevents the unwanted production of low-THC seeds instead of buds. You will not have to weed out the males, and you can direct your full attention to nurturing your female plants.

Despite its strong Sativa origins, Bruce Banner x Chocolope Fem plants grow smaller than what you might expect, making them ideal for indoor grow areas. Nonetheless, incorporating the Sea of Green (SOG) technique will significantly maximize the use of space. For newbies, SOG simply means setting the plants in a cluster, but keep them a minimum distance of 30 cm (1 foot) apart to allow for lateral growth. With this kind of setup, you will only need a few grow lamps to light the entire green canopy. Give the plants basic care and nutrients, and they can produce 400 to 600 grams (14 to 21 ounces) of mouthwatering bud per square meter.

There are two essential factors to consider: temperature and relative humidity (RH). The RH is defined as the amount of moisture present in the air. The SOG method usually produces thick foliage that can trap excess moisture and raise the room’s temperature. Luckily, this strain has a sparse structure that minimizes this, preventing mold proliferation. Nevertheless, it is best to maintain the temperature between 21 to 26 degrees Celsius (70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit) and the RH at no more than 50%.

Many cannabis users rely on this strain for its energy-boosting and uplifting effects. With an 18% THC level, a few tokes of this pot is enough to wipe away your worries and stress. It is one of the best strains to manage mental illnesses like anxiety, stress, and depression. It also has an invigorating impact to combat fatigue and lethargy.

Because it is mostly Sativa, there is no body stone involved. Still, it is able to provide temporary relief for pain-related issues, muscle spasms, and joint stiffness. It is not suitable if you are planning to hit the hay soon, though, as it will keep you fired up for hours.

This hard-hitting strain is ideal for people battling eating disorders as it can induce the so-called munchies effect. It could help them regain their appetite and loss of interest in food.

Even in moderate doses, Bruce Banner x Chocolope can cause dry eyes and cotton mouth. These side effects are common to any cannabis strain but not worrisome. They are easily remedied by drinking plenty of water, avoiding caffeinated drinks, and keeping artificial tears handy.

However, if too much is consumed, more concerning adverse reactions may occur, such as dizziness accompanied by lightheadedness, anxiety, or paranoia. As such, it is best to take it in prudent amounts.

You can count on this strain if you want a burst of long-lasting energy at any time of the day. The 18% THC concentration is just right for an enjoyable lift without putting you over the edge. The effect is more of mood-boosting and happiness than immediate euphoria. As a wake ‘n bake strain, it is similar to drinking a cup of strong coffee, giving you mental alertness and energy, but without the jittery feeling.

This is not the right strain for body-calming effects. It is more about firing you up and filling you with optimism and inspiration. In small to moderate doses, it will not cause hyperactivity – just a joyful state of mind and nothing else. In addition, make sure to have snacks within reach since extreme hunger will likely hit you. 

If you are a certified chocoholic, there are other strains that can help satisfy your craving. One of them is Chocolope x Candy Fem. This Sativa-dominant hybrid is a cross between Chocolope and Candy Kush, resulting in moderate THC levels of around 19%. Its fruity, mocha-drizzled buds can relieve stress, anxiety, and depressive episodes. At the same time, they can also manage muscle spasms, migraines, and arthritis.

Mochalope Regular is another choice strain if you have a sweet tooth. These fast-flowering seeds take around 6 to 8 weeks to finish their budding period. A descendant of Oregon Afghani and Chocolope, it delivers physical relaxation, calm, and euphoria. All these blend into a pleasant sleepiness. With a THC level of up to 25%, it can help users deal with chronic pain, inflammation, and insomnia. Take note that these are regular seeds, so expect both male and female offspring. These specimens are best for breeding projects since they are as close to the mother plant as possible.

Our last choco-flavored recommendation is Tangie x Chocolope Fem. Its Tangie parent adds an orangey grapefruit dimension with a touch of spice. It produces a happy and creative Sativa high that often leads to wonderful fits of laughter. This is a great strain for stress management and mood upliftment. Growing it is a joy, too, due to its sage-green sugar leaves sprinkled with caramel-toned pistils and frosty trichomes.

On the other hand, you could try a more sedating strain like Gorilla Glue #4 FemThis 2014 winner for Best Hybrid at the Los Angeles Cannabis Cup as well as the High Times Medical Cannabis Cup in Michigan is a balanced hybrid that is known for its astronomically high level of THC (26 to 28%). Parented by Chem Sis, Sour Dubb, and Chocolate Diesel, GG4 has a sweet berry scent that lingers after a whiff of a deep woody, pine fragrance. It is highly sought-after for its ability to soothe stress, relieve pain, and induce sleep. This strain will start you off on a cerebral high and then leave you so relaxed that you’ll be gorilla-glued to the couch.
