A Name Earned by Its Weight

9 Pound Hammer is reported as a fast starter, with the heavy body feel landing within 3-4 minutes of the first inhale. Duration runs roughly 2 to 4 hours when inhaled. Edibles and rosin gummies run longer than that.

The listed pitch is a hammer rather than a feather, which points to an evening with a low-key plan, since it is not described as a strain for active social settings. The aroma reads as sweet grape and ripe berry with an earthy hash undertone.

What Myrcene, Caryophyllene and Limonene Do Here

Myrcene

Myrcene leads the stack, and the descriptors that go with it are body-relaxing, heavy and classic indica-feel.

Caryophyllene

Caryophyllene sits second, peppery and warm, a grounding body note next to the grape and berry.

Limonene

Limonene is listed third and is often described as uplifting and clear-headed, a daytime-friendly note.

Gooberry, Hells OG and Jack the Ripper

Three parents are on record: Gooberry, Hells OG and Jack the Ripper. The strain comes out of the Pacific Northwest, from TGA Subcool in the early 2010s, and it was named for the fast, hard-hitting indica effect. Plants finish in 8-9 weeks of flowering.

Master Kush lists a lower 16-22% THC and the same myrcene-first terpene order, with a sweet earthy hash, light citrus and sandalwood aroma. Bubba Kush trades the grape for sweet coffee and dark chocolate. Northern Lights goes toward sweet pine and light sandalwood, and Skywalker OG lists a higher 20-26% THC with sweet diesel, pine and hash funk.
