Amethyst Hammer Auto by Viking Gardens
Ruderalis × Indica × Sativa
Amethyst Hammer Auto is an autoflowering sativa cultivar developed by Viking Gardens. This strain combines ruderalis genetics for automatic flowering with indica and sativa traits, aiming for a compact plant with a rapid life cycle and robust effects. Its name suggests potential purple coloration and significant potency.
Appearance
Amethyst Hammer Auto typically grows to a medium-short stature, often reaching between 60 and 100 cm indoors. Its structure features a prominent central cola with satellite branches, especially when employing low-stress training. Some phenotypes may display purple hues, particularly under cooler night temperatures, due to anthocyanin expression. The buds are generally dense and resinous, with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, and develop a frosted appearance as they mature.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile of Amethyst Hammer Auto is complex, often described as a blend of sweet berry notes with earthy and spicy undertones. Hints of citrus and floral or herbal scents may also be present. Upon consumption, flavors commonly mirror the aroma, presenting sweet berry or grape upfront, followed by an earthy core with subtle peppery notes. A cool, pine-like or eucalyptus sensation can also be detected.
Effects
As a sativa-dominant hybrid autoflower, Amethyst Hammer Auto is expected to provide balanced effects. While specific details on psychoactive impact are not extensively detailed, the strain is bred for robust effects that align with its lineage. The autoflowering nature, derived from ruderalis, typically contributes to a less intense, more manageable experience compared to some photoperiod counterparts, though potency can be significant.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Amethyst Hammer Auto contains THC levels typically ranging from 18% to 24%, with CBD content below 1%. The terpene profile may include caryophyllene, contributing peppery notes, and linalool, associated with floral aromas. Other reported aromatic compounds can contribute to berry, citrus, earthy, and herbal scent characteristics.
Growing
This autoflowering cultivar is designed for a fast seed-to-harvest timeline, commonly completed between 70 and 90 days. Its ruderalis genetics allow it to flower automatically, independent of light cycles, making it practical for growers with limited space or shorter seasons. The plant's resilience, partly from ruderalis, can make it adaptable to various conditions, though optimal growth is achieved with proper nutrition and stable environments. Yields are considered reliable for an autoflower.
Origins & Lineage
Amethyst Hammer Auto was bred by Viking Gardens. Its genetic makeup is a polyhybrid incorporating ruderalis, indica, and sativa genetics. The ruderalis component provides the autoflowering trait, ensuring the plant flowers based on age rather than light cycle. Indica and sativa inputs contribute to the plant's morphology, resin production, and overall effect profile, aiming for stability and vigor.
