Flying Hammer Strain Overview
Flying Hammer is a potent hybrid cannabis strain developed by the breeder Exotic Genetix. Its exact genetic lineage is often cited as a cross between the indica-dominant hybrid Grease Monkey and the sativa-dominant hybrid Jet Fuel Gelato, though some sources suggest variations in its parentage. The strain emerged in the mid-2010s as part of a wave of designer hybrids, gaining attention for its powerful effects and complex flavor profile. It is named for its reported ability to deliver a swift, impactful experience reminiscent of a 'hammer' strike, combined with an uplifting, soaring quality.
The plant typically exhibits a robust structure with dense, resinous buds that are often a vibrant green, accented by deep purple hues and a heavy coating of trichomes. The leaves may display orange or amber pistils. Flying Hammer is known for its pungent aroma, which blends gassy, diesel notes with sweet, fruity undertones, a characteristic inherited from its Gelato and Grease Monkey lineage. Its appearance and aroma make it visually and olfactorily distinctive among modern hybrids.
Notable features include its high THC content, which commonly ranges from 18% to 24%, contributing to its reputation for strong psychoactive effects. The strain is favored by experienced users seeking a balanced yet intense experience. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, Flying Hammer has developed a niche following in cannabis enthusiast circles, particularly in regions with access to craft genetics. Its rarity and potency mean it is often sought after in dispensaries that carry exotic or limited-edition varieties.
