Meteor Shower by Mr H Genetics
Indica/Sativa (Unspecified)
Meteor Shower is a hybrid cultivar developed by Mr H Genetics, noted for its visually striking resinous flowers and complex sensory profile. This strain is recognized for offering a balanced experience, combining elements that support both relaxation and clear-headed functionality.
Appearance
Meteor Shower typically presents dense flowers with a glistening resin coating, often forming stacked calyxes resembling golf balls or spears. The buds are heavily covered in trichomes, which appear cloudy by the seventh or eighth week of flowering. Early on, pistils are a vibrant tangerine, maturing to amber as the flowers ripen. Cooler temperatures during late flowering may induce the expression of anthocyanins, leading to lavender or deep plum hues on the outer sugar leaves.
The plant structure is characteristic of a balanced hybrid, featuring moderate internodal spacing and lateral branching that responds well to training techniques. It exhibits a manageable stretch during the transition to flowering, typically around 1.5x to 2x its vegetative height. The calyx-to-leaf ratio is favorable, and the small sugar leaves are densely coated in trichomes, making them suitable for extractions.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Meteor Shower is described as a complex bouquet, featuring fruity notes, hints of pine, and a subtle gas-like undertone. This layered scent profile suggests a diversity of aromatic compounds rather than a single dominant molecule.
Consumers can expect a multi-layered flavor experience that mirrors its aroma. The taste profile includes bright fruitiness, citrus, and candy-like sweetness, complemented by herbal and peppery nuances, with a diesel-leaning finish.
Effects
Meteor Shower is recognized for providing a balanced hybrid effect, aiming to combine relaxation with clear-headed functionality. It is often discussed as a cultivar that can support both evening unwinding and daytime usability, depending on the dose and individual response.
Users have reported that the strain can promote a sense of focus. Its balanced profile may contribute to its versatility, allowing for a range of experiences from gentle relaxation to more alert states.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages are not detailed beyond a general THC range, Meteor Shower is understood to contain approximately 20% THC, with CBD levels below 1%. The terpene profile is diverse, contributing to its complex sensory characteristics and balanced effects. Key terpenes frequently associated with this strain include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, and Humulene.
Growing Characteristics
Meteor Shower is considered a versatile hybrid for cultivation, with a flowering time typically ranging from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, depending on the specific phenotype and cultivation strategy. It demonstrates stable genetics with moderate internode spacing and responds well to common horticultural techniques such as topping and low-stress training (LST). The plant structure is manageable, showing moderate stretch after the light cycle flip.
The cultivar is noted for its ability to produce dense, trichome-rich flowers even under moderate lighting conditions. Its root vigor is notable, supporting consistent nutrient uptake. The buds cure well, retaining their aromatic qualities and visual appeal, contributing to its reputation for reliability across different growing environments.
Origins & Lineage
Meteor Shower was developed by Mr H Genetics, a breeder known for creating hybrids that balance aesthetic appeal with functional utility. The precise parental lineage of Meteor Shower has not been publicly disclosed by the breeder, which is a common practice to protect proprietary genetics.
It is classified as a balanced indica/sativa hybrid. Its genetic heritage is understood through its phenotypic expression and chemical tendencies, which suggest a blend of indica and sativa influences. The strain gained recognition initially within homegrow and micro-cultivation communities before broader distribution.
