Tomahawk is a modern hybrid-indica strain derived from Star Dawg. As a result of this specific genetic background, the cultivar maintains moderate difficulty during its cultivation cycle, which concludes after a 67-day flowering period. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments, the plant is known for producing high yields, cementing its utility as a reliable performer in various commercial and private setups.
The terpene profile of Tomahawk is dominated by limonene, followed by myrcene and caryophyllene, with secondary and tertiary contributions from nerolidol, humulene, linalool, beta-pinene, pinene, camphene, terpinolene, and bisabolol. This complex arrangement of compounds dictates its sensory characteristics, offering a profile that reflects the integration of these specific chemical constituents.
This THC-dominant strain is primarily utilized to facilitate feelings of relaxation, calm, and focus, making it a functional choice for managing pain, stress, and sleep difficulties. Its genetic influence is evident in the development of notable offspring such as Space Walrus, which continues the lineage established by the parent plant. Through these effects and systemic applications, Tomahawk serves as a distinct entry in modern hybrid-indica breeding.
