Hulk
Overview
The Hulk strain has a few striking similarities with the character “The Hulk.” This strain is powerful and invincible when it comes to combating deep rooted malaise; seeing that the CBD amount often bottoms out at 20%. Users craving a strong CBD punch are likely to benefit from Hulk, which unfortunately is not easy to come by.
The history of Hulk is rather sketchy. Some sources claim that it originated from a phenotype of the legendary Bruce Banner strain. And sure enough, you can see some strong sativa effects in this strain that are similar to Bruce Banner. Aside from that not much else links these two strains. Some sources claim that Hulk is a cross between Sour Diesel, Strawberry Cough, and OG Kush. This is quite a vibrant mix in terms of flavor, aroma, and effects.
Appearance-wise, Hulk buds are deep green, similar to The Hulk’s green color. Orange colored pistils are prominent while the white layer of resin glands recedes easily into the green. The surface will appear sticky due to the loads of resin. You may feel this stickiness when you smoke a joint. Unlike most sativa strains, Hulk buds form dense colas that cling together.
Hulk is a sativa dominant strain with 80% sativa and 20% indica effects. Its dominant aroma is sun-kissed citrus which reveals the presence of limonene in this strain. The taste of over-ripened fruit is subtle and intertwined well with the sour-tanginess of the citrus. Generally, the smell does not put you off.
