Hammerhead
Hammerhead is a name shared by several distinct cannabis lineages, ranging from CBD-rich indica hybrids to potent, resinous crosses with sativa-leaning profiles.
About Hammerhead
The name Hammerhead refers to at least three distinct genetic lineages. The most common version, produced by Medical Seeds Co., is an indica-dominant hybrid derived from White Rhino and Medicine Man. This iteration is frequently noted for its potential as a Type II chemotype, offering a balance of THC and CBD. Users report a sweet, creamy aroma with notes of honey, spice, earth, and tanginess, accompanied by euphoric effects that transition into heavy sedation.
A second lineage, attributed to Breeders Choice, is an indica-leaning cross of Blue Hammer and Green Manalishi #8. This version is characterized by a dank, hashy profile with a complex flavor of damp earth and pungent wood. It is reported to be a heavy-hitting strain, generally recommended for experienced consumers.
A third lineage, by Gage Green Genetics, is a slightly sativa-leaning hybrid created by crossing Sour Diesel (Seattle Sour) with Mendo Breath F2. This version features a profile of sour fruit, fresh maple, and citrus zest, and is described as providing an uplifting, euphoric experience.
Plant characteristics
The Medical Seeds Co. version of Hammerhead grows as a short, indica-dominant plant with thick foliage, reaching maturity in 55 to 60 days and producing moderate-to-large yields. The Breeders Choice lineage is described as a dank, hashy plant with dense buds and a finger-sticking resin layer. The Gage Green Genetics lineage is noted for producing dense, resinous buds that often display pink and purple undertones.
