9 Pound Hammer, 9lb Hammer, or Nine Pound Hammer, is an almost pure indica strain. It is a certified dankenstein strain, meaning that it’s a cross between two or more dank strains, resulting in one hell of a dank strain. These strains are normally created for potency and flavor, and 9lb Hammer strain definitely keeps up with this tradition. You’re in for a treat if you manage to find this strain, especially if you’re a fan of considerably heavy indicas.
This strain is also sometimes called Hippie Punch or Purple Hammer.

9 Pound Hammer: indica or sativa?
9 Pound Hammer is an indica dominant hybrid strain, as it does have some sativa effects as well. With an 80% indica lean, you can count on 9lb Hammer strain to to provide you with a quality indica smoking experience. This bud comes from a long line of highly regarded genetics and was created by the same breeders who brought us Deep Purple and Jesus OG. TGA Subcool Seeds are well known in the business, and they are a stamp of approval for any strain that they have created. The leaves are green and have yellow and orange hairs, which are highly sought after. The flowers also have dashes of purple inside them, which emerge fully if they’re grown properly using “shocking” methods.9 Pound Hammer genetics
TGA Subcool Seeds brought together 3 already dank strains to create one monster strain. These strains are known as dankenstein. The three strains that were brought together to create 9 Pound Hammer are:- Jack the Ripper
- Hell’s Angel OG
- Fruity Goobery
Hell’s Angel OG is an OG Kush cross, which is another sure sign of quality. The guys over at TGA crossed one indica, one sativa, and one hybrid together, and this resulted in 9 Pound Hammer.

9 Pound Hammer THC percentage
The average Indica marijuana strain has around 12% THC content. 9 Pound Hammer, on the other hand, has an average of 19%. The strongest phenotypes, or those growers who have the patience to allow their flower to grow to its full potential, can sometimes test at a whopping 23%. This is enough to knock some people off their feet, and could well produce long lasting couch-lock, so be careful. 9 Pound Hammer also has a tiny CBD percentage, which boosts effects even more.9 Pound Hammer weed price
As the seeds are available online from TGA, the price is relatively low. Although it’s a dankenstein strain, coffeeshops and dispensaries alike can easily get their hands on the seeds. The price of this strain is around $10 a gram whether your zip code is in Amsterdam, Los Angeles or anywhere in between.9 Pound Hammer taste
Ah, taste, arguably the most important part of a strain. If you’re looking for a fruity indica, then look no further. This strain is definitely one you’ll want to be cracking the flower vaporizer out for, as the taste is just too damn good. You should definitely grind your weed up first, as this makes it even tastier inside a vape. You can expect the following taste profile from 9 Pound Hammer strain:- Earthy
- Berry undertones
- Sweet

Not all vape pens do great strains justice, but Linx Vapor's Eden pen does not fall under that umbrella. For clean, flavorful vapor you need to get your hands on this convection vaporizer.

9 Pound Hammer oil, wax, shatter, edibles, etc.
If you do end up using a flower vape to smoke your strains, then here’s some even better news for you: you can use the leftover plant matter (which is known as already vaped bud, or AVB) to quickly and easily make exceptionally potent cannabis edibles. This may seem strange, but your already vaped bud is actually perfectly decarboxylated marijuana. Once you’ve got your bud, simply mix it with a fat or an oil and you’re good to go. If not, then you can decarboxylate your weed yourself in an oven. Just note one thing, cannabis edibles are exceptionally potent, especially with an indica dominant strain as strong as 9lb Hammer strain. If you find that you feel way too high, then follow this guide on how to feel less high:- Take a cold shower
- Drink a hot pot of coffee
- Take a few minutes for yourself and breathe
- If you know mindfulness, now’s the time to use it
You can also make concentrates on any strain you like, normally concentrate makers look for two very important characteristics of buds: taste and potency. 9 pound Hammer strain has both, which make it a great choice for those who are wanting to make Butane Hash Oil. This is a dangerous process and isn’t recommended to do by yourself.

Entirely silicone bubblers like the Silicone Bubbler from Grasscity are great for any tokers with butterfingers! Food grade silicone that's basically indestructible, dual use for concentrates or herbs, and a secret stash spot at the bottom of this hammer bubbler? How thoughtful!

The 9 lb Hammer strain is an almost pure Indica; it really is considered an indica, not an indica-dominant hybrid. Indica strains are mainly praised for their calming and relaxing effects, and 9 Pound Hammer is no different. This strain will make you feel relaxed and sleepy, as well as provide some euphoric and happy effects. It's for this reason that some folks will use it as a sleep aid or even to relax muscle tremors. However, you may experience the feeling of being locked to the couch from this strain, which is undesirable for some people. Another common myth surrounding cannabis is that if you smoke weed then you should be able to fall asleep instantly. Some people can only fall asleep after a few hours, so make sure you give yourself plenty of time after taking it.

We really think 9lb Hammer is best enjoyed with a couch nearby. For that, you're going to want a quality bong that offers a smooth toke. Marley Naturals' Glass and Walnut Wood Beaker Bong is a great option just for that. Stylized just enough to set it apart from the rest, this classic bong uses a 5-hole downstem, helping to ensure quality tokes every time.
