Growing Incredible Hulk indoors means keeping height under control above all else. Strain descriptions depict tall, lanky plants and recommend topping early and keeping the canopy flat through SCROG or low-stress training. The name refers to a sativa-dominant cross of Green Crack and Jack Herer whose breeder is unknown; the names The Hulk and Incredible Hulk OG also circulate.
Cultivation:
Estimates for the flowering time vary widely. Several descriptions classify the strain as a late finisher at 10 to 12 weeks; outdoors, harvest accordingly falls between late October and mid-November. Seed vendors state shorter times for their versions.
A warm climate is called for. One description explicitly names Mediterranean conditions, another a warm, semi-humid climate, and considers the strain best suited to outdoor growing.
The buds are described as elongated and dark green, with orange pistils and heavy resin coverage. Sources disagree on density: one speaks of heavy, oversized buds, another of loose ones.
Genetics and Origin:
Green Crack and Jack Herer are consistently listed as the parents. Who made the cross remains unclear; several descriptions refer to an anonymous breeder. Incredible Hulk is classified as a sativa-dominant hybrid, though one description deviates and rates it as predominantly indica. The strain appears as a parent in Hulk Fuel, which MadCat's Backyard Stash crossed from The Hulk and Jet Fuel by 303 Seeds.
Versions from Different Breeders:
Crop King Seeds and Sonoma Seeds offer feminized seeds with nearly identical figures: 400 g/m² indoor yield, 550 g per plant outdoors, and a height of 5 to 8 feet, converted to roughly 152 to 244 cm. Crop King Seeds states a flowering time of 58 to 66 days, Sonoma Seeds 8 to 10 weeks. Alter Ego Genetics offers a regular version, also from Green Crack and Jack Herer.
Related in name only is a selection that Original Sensible Seeds calls Bruce Banner 3 The Incredible Hulk. Its lineage traces back to Colorado Ghost OG and Strawberry Diesel.
THC and CBD Content:
Strain descriptions put THC content at 15 to 19 %. Crop King Seeds and Sonoma Seeds state the same range for their versions, along with 0.3 to 0.43 % CBD.
Aroma and Flavor:
Blueberry, pineapple, and earthiness run through descriptions of the aroma and flavor. Depending on the source, citrus, wood, herbs, and a skunky undertone are added; one consumption report mentions a cheesy note, one description nutty and honey-like tones. Several descriptions name myrcene as the predominant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and ocimene. Others place terpinolene at the top, accompanied by myrcene and pinene.
Effects:
Consumption reports describe an energizing, mood-lifting effect in which concentration and creativity increase; talkativeness and giggliness are also mentioned. A few reports diverge markedly and describe a relaxing to sedating effect with a heavy body feeling.
As side effects, reports and descriptions cite dry mouth, dry eyes, and dizziness, as well as increased appetite, rapid heartbeat, and unease in larger crowds. Headache and paranoia are listed as rare accompanying effects.
