What is 9lb Hammer?
9lb Hammer aka Nine Pound Hammer represents Washington State breeding excellence from Jinxproof Genetics, a family-run company with over 30 years of cannabis cultivation experience. This legendary Jinxproof cross combines Gooberry (Afgooey x Blackberry) with Jesus OG Kush, sometimes described through its deeper lineage as Hells OG crossed with Jack the Ripper meeting the extraordinary fruit-forward Gooberry genetics.
The result is a trichome-smothered powerhouse that delivers overwhelming grape Hi-Chew candy notes overlaid with melon, lime, and sweet berry undertones. Gooberry genetics bring the extraordinary fruity tones and beautiful fall-colored leaves that made the strain famous, while the Jesus OG Kush side contributes massive yield increases and knockout potency. 9lb Hammer is the kind of strain that demands respect in any room and rewards growers who appreciate fast flowering times. Sourcing an authentic breeder cut that's been HLVD tested negative ensures you're starting with verified genetics, and a healthy rooted clone gives you the foundation for a successful run.
