Fat Man

Fat Man is a evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. This well-regarded bud boasts a THC level that ranges from 14-20% on average, with 0.7% CBD. It is sold as feminized seeds, and it remains one of the most requested cuts in its class year after year.

The Fat Man high balances both sides of its lineage: a happy head buzz up front, and a soothing physical warmth that follows a few minutes behind. The handoff between head and body is seamless, making it easy to dose for either a productive afternoon or a slow evening. These combined effects make Fat Man a frequent pick among patients dealing with chronic stress, muscle tension and mild to moderate depression, and a reliable standby for anyone medicating on a schedule.

On the palate, expect coffee and diesel up front, backed by an aroma that fills the room the moment the jar opens. Each exhale leaves a coffee-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has compact rounded olive green nugs with deep purple undertones, rust-colored hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

For growers, Fat Man 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 Man family — see Holy Man and Ice Cream Man for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
