Dark Horse genetics is offering various Bruce Banner lines. Can anyone comment on how legit they are?

I'm supposed to have some Banner 2.0 on the way. I'll post up when I run em.

Yup I've got six on the go... good vigour. All ten came up but I lost some to damping off... Still pretty small to say much. They haven't established feet to run on as quickly as the crumbled lime from Karma right next to them but they're faster than animal cookies from bcbd was if that helps any...
I'll post pics when they get bigger.

I got my Bruce Banner from ILGM (I Love Growing Marijuana). 
I grew her for several years. Super legit cut, was absolute fire. I made a few crosses with her in the hope that if I had to find her in seed form it might be possible. Im testing the cross I did with Sweet tooth #3 right now on the back porch ! I also crossed her with Verdant Greens Bubba Kush. I ran that one a few years ago, but got hit with mites. I thought the cut was gone for good but a good friend of mine, whom I passed the cut, had also passed it on to another friend who still has it. Problem is he also has bugs. He is one of those dudes that thinks its fine and normal to grow with bugs, he somehow has managed to keep the cut alive for several years now, while continuing to harvest mediocre bud from exceptional genetics. Im not sure how I feel about this. But I just bought a pack of Strawberry D from a old member on og. Im really wanting to use a male of it (if I get one) to bx with the banner. I figure this would strengthen the genetics in the old cut that may have lost vigor due to years of living with bugs. The Mother in the original BB cross (Cold Creek Kush) is long gone to my knowledge. Ive dug into the ancestry of this strain pretty deep before, but I cant recall the origins of this strain Jason used. Best I can remember it was a locally held og cut on the front range. I think the magic came from the Straw D father side.
To be honest I am not sure. I know Dark Horse Genetics has offered many variations through the years though and I've seen a few keepers held on to.
I have seen many breedings and done some breeding with BB3 myself over the years, but she is tough if not impossible to reproduce IMHO. Although she is most known for her high THC percentage (30ish %), I believe linalool as a top 3 terpene and a slight THCV cannabinoid profile make her unique medicinally.
I believe it was Ghost's OG Kush cut that Jason used in the original breeding. I'd have to agree that there was likely some kind of magic in the Strawberry Diesel male used.
BB3 is definitely OG Kush dominate and I'm not sure the Strawberry Diesel is a good rep of the classic Diesel/Chem strains.
