Full Metal Jacket

This is indeed one full jacket of a strain as the indica effects envelop the whole torso pretty fast. It’s a hybrid cross between two equally powerful strains. Mother: Faceoff OG & Father: Grandpas Breath, This is a creation by Dungeons Vault Genetics who are known for high terpene strains and excellent shatter. Previously they have worked with Granddaddy Purple.

Full Metal Jacket has lemon-piney aromas with woody undertones that remain in the mouth long after you are done with the experience. Hydrating frequently as you toke help to reduce the sticky feeling left in your mouth that is as a result of the high THC amounts. The THC may be anything from 14%- 18%.

The effects are like what you would experience with other OG Kush descendants; indica relaxation that culminates in an epic couch-lock effect. Soon after the first puff, you will experience an intense tingling sensation that will move in waves across your entire body. The high intensifies quickly to cause happiness and then a buzz of euphoria. Unlike energizing sativas, this strain will compel you to retreat to a favorable horizontal position in no time.

After a while, you may be forced to drift to sleep.

Full Metal Jacket has a pretty regular taste that is both earthy and woody at the same time. Hints of sweetness and nutmeg creep in slowly after you exhale. The taste may be subjective but this is one that is enjoyed by seasoned users.

The buds of Full Metal Jacket are olive green with layers of silvery trichomes. Small hairs, colored both red and white, provide an interesting color contrast against the green. The plants grow quite tall, with an overall green appearance throughout the plant.
