9LB HAMMER
Jack the Ripper X Hell's Angel OG X Gooberry
80% Indica
The 9lb Hammer is a remarkable hybrid strain resulting from a complex lineage that includes Jack the Ripper, Hell's Angel OG, and Gooberry. With an 80% indica dominance, this strain offers a balanced yet predominantly indica experience. When it comes to potency, the THC levels in finished 9lb Hammer flowers typically fall within the range of 14% to 23%.
In terms of cultivation, the 9lb Hammer boasts a relatively short flowering time, maturing in just 7 to 8 weeks or 49 to 56 days. This strain is known for its generous yield, making it an attractive option for growers. It's versatile enough to be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, though outdoor success is more likely in a semi-humid climate with daytime temperatures ranging from 72 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.
The 9lb Hammer plants exhibit significant height and stretch during their growth cycle. To encourage the development of flowering nodes on lower branches, growers should trim away broad, light-blocking fan leaves. Thankfully, this strain's stable genetics also provide resistance to mildew, adding to its appeal for cultivators.
Visually, the 9lb Hammer is an impressive sight, featuring large, chunky, and multi-colored flowers. These buds are dense and tightly coiled with short leaves, displaying a mossy green hue interwoven with yellow and orange pistils. The occasional flashes of purple in the flowers result from high concentrations of anthocyanin pigments, which can be activated by cold weather during growth.
Trichomes generously cover the buds, lending them a sticky texture. The aroma is a delightful mix of fruity notes, including tropical, citrus, and grape, alongside contrasting scents of incense, woodsy tones, and hints of lime and grape in the flavor profile.
The most prominent terpenes found in the 9lb Hammer are myrcene, pinene, and caryophyllene, contributing to its unique aroma.
It's worth noting that this remarkable strain was originally bred by TGA Subcool Seeds, cementing its status as a standout in the world of cannabis cultivation and consumption.
