Shotgun

Shotgun is a indica dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. THC testing typically lands between 23% and 29%, pairing raw strength with a 0.3% CBD content. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

Users describe the Shotgun high as a slow, warming body melt that starts at the back of the head and rolls down through the limbs, easing muscles into deep, contented calm while the mind drifts into a hazy, happy state. Even at its heaviest, a quiet euphoria hums in the background, keeping the experience warm rather than sedating from the first hit. Because of these effects, Shotgun is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and insomnia and other sleep disorders, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Shotgun has a mouth-filling skunk and earthy flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a skunk-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has chunky popcorn-shaped vivid green nugs with warm amber tones, thin orange hairs and a thick coat of frosty crystal trichomes.

In the garden, Shotgun is a demanding plant best left to experienced growers, flowering in a standard 9-10 weeks and performing well in controlled indoor setups. Dialed-in climate control and careful pruning are repaid with exceptional bag appeal and top-shelf potency. Plants stay compact enough for tents and small rooms, which makes canopy management straightforward. Its genetics run through the wider Shotgun family — see Shotgun Auto for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
