Jack Herer is a sativa dominant marijuana strain named after the famous Marijauana activist.
It was first created by crossing a Haze hybrid with Northern Lights #5 and Shiva skunk. The aim was to capture the cerebral high of a sativa strain with the quicker flowering time of an indica plant along with heavy resin production. The result surpassed all expectations and Jack Herer has gone on to become one of the world’s most popular strains.
Through a careful selection process our breeders have focused on the faster finishing phenos and now have a top quality sativa dominant strain that only needs around 8 weeks to complete flowering. Our Jack Herer demonstrates great vigour and will fill out very quickly once flowering commences. Depending on the vegetative time she can be kept short and stocky for an indoor setup or can be allowed to stretch and flourish outdoors. Yields indoors can easily reach 500g per m2 and outdoors with a longer veg time that amount is possible per plant. We recommend 3-4 gallon containers and a 30 day vegetative time to produce maximum yields.
Jack Herer gives of a musky aroma with piney and earthy notes. The effect is very cerebral and this strain has many medical benefits and is widely used by patients suffering from Multiple Sclerosis or those who have issues with Pain or depression.
Strain FAQ
How do hybrid strains complicate cannabis genetics?
Hybrids complicate the genetic environment beyond just Indica and Sativa. By crossbreeding numerous generations, hybrids have developed many traits from both parents, creating polyhybrid strains. Genetic variety gives the cannabis family tree many interesting relatives!
How does weather affect musky scent?
It's all about adaption! The musky aroma may have protected strains from pests or attracted pollinators in their original environment. Thus, the plant's perfume depends on its environment and climate.
Can Sativa-dominant strains have high CBD?
Yes! Sativas are known for their THC and uplifting effects, but more and more Sativa dominant strains are being cultivated for their CBD content. These strains seek to produce calm and focus without a THC high.
Do High-THC strains require specific legal growing conditions?
High-THC strains are said to require extra care to reach their high THC level potential. To maximise THC expression, lighting, temperature, and nutrition must reportedly be perfect. Legal growers use a variety of ingenious methods to meet these markers and let each plant shine!
What makes average yielding strains' terpene profiles unique?
There is nothing particular that binds their terpene profiles together as their genetics are very varied and all cannabis plants have many terpenes. It is the combination of these terpenes which gives cannabis its smell and taste. The combination can result in a range from earthy and piney to fruity and sweet.
