Growing 9 Pound Hammer
Growing 9 Pound Hammer fits guerrilla growers and balcony cultivators, since the plant ignores light cycle and finishes before fall rains arrive. 9 Pound Hammer runs on an 18/6 light schedule from seed to harvest, autoflower genetics ignore photoperiod, so there is no flip and no light-cycle change. Indoor yields land around up to 350 g/m2 under quality LED, and outdoor plants given full sun and 5-7 gallon containers reliably produce up to 450 g/plant.
