Swackhammer
Also known as: Swack Hammer
Swackhammer Strain Overview
Swackhammer is a relatively rare cannabis hybrid strain developed by crossing the popular indica-dominant hybrid Gorilla Glue #4 with the sativa-dominant hybrid Sour Diesel. The strain's name appears to be a playful reference to its potent effects, suggesting it delivers a powerful impact. While not as widely documented as its parent strains, Swackhammer has gained recognition among cannabis connoisseurs for its balanced effects and distinctive flavor profile that combines the best characteristics of its genetic lineage.
The strain typically produces dense, resinous buds with a complex appearance. The nugs often display a forest green coloration with occasional purple hues, complemented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of frosty trichomes. The plant structure tends to be moderately bushy, inheriting traits from both parent strains. Swackhammer's rarity means it's primarily found in specific regional markets and through specialty breeders rather than being widely available in commercial dispensaries.
Notable features of Swackhammer include its ability to provide both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation, making it suitable for various times of day. The strain's potency can be quite high, particularly in phenotypes that lean toward the Gorilla Glue #4 parentage. Users should approach this strain with caution if they have low tolerance, as its effects can be overwhelming in higher doses. The strain's limited availability means that specific characteristics may vary between different growers' phenotypes.

Swackhammer Strain Growing Information
Swackhammer is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for intermediate to experienced growers. The plants typically have a flowering time of 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests usually ready by mid to late October in the Northern Hemisphere. Indoor yields are average to above average, producing approximately 400-500 grams per square meter under optimal conditions. Outdoor plants can yield 500-600 grams per plant in favorable climates.
The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can also thrive outdoors in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach a medium height, with indoor plants growing to about 100-150 cm and outdoor plants potentially reaching 180-200 cm. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold, as the dense buds are susceptible to moisture issues. The plants benefit from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize light exposure and improve yields. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with particular attention needed during the flowering phase when the plants become heavy feeders.
