Heavy Metal

Heavy Metal is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain that has quietly built a dedicated following. This infamous bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 21-27% on average, with 0.9% CBD. Seeds come in feminized form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the Heavy Metal high as a true two-sided experience — an energizing cerebral lift arrives first, sliding gradually into a mellow body calm that relaxes without switching you off completely. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. Because of these effects, Heavy Metal is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Heavy Metal has a delicious lemon and berry flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a lemon-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has chunky popcorn-shaped dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, thin orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

For growers, Heavy Metal offers a manageable grow for anyone with a harvest or two behind them — expect plants flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks, at home indoors or outdoors. Given steady feeding and a little light training, it rewards the effort with heavy, resin-coated colas. Plants stretch to a medium height with strong side branching, equally at home in a tent or a garden bed. Its genetics run through the wider Metal family — see Chang Rai Northern Highland Juicy Fruit Thai x Metal Haze and Dutch Flower Metal Haze F3 x Vietnamese Black for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
