Throat Punch is a modern hybrid-indica strain developed from its parent, Peanut Butter Punch. Cultivated for its balanced growth characteristics, this strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a moderate level of difficulty throughout the cultivation cycle, which culminates in a flowering period of 60 days and a high yield at harvest.
The chemical profile of Throat Punch is defined by a complex arrangement of terpenes, led by limonene, caryophyllene, myrcene, beta-pinene, pinene, humulene, caryophyllene-oxide, linalool, guaiol, camphene, terpinolene, bisabolol, and p-cymene. This THC-dominant strain provides relaxed and focused effects, making it suitable for addressing pain, stress, and sleep.
