Jack Herer is a great strain named after a great man. He was a tireless Cannabis legalisation activist and author of the book The Emperor Wears No Clothes, also called the Hemp Bible. He was a powerful voice in the Cannabis movement up until his death in 2010. The Jack Herer strain is equally powerful, a strong Sativa dominant with an uplifting high and a fresh peppery aroma.
The Jack Herer strain is equally famous as the man himself, carrying with it a legacy that will stand the test of time. The original photoperiod cultivar has been enjoyed by cannabis connoisseurs the world over, and is now available in an easy-to-grow autoflowering format with Royal Jack Automatic. Maintaining the original Herer’s powerful and uplifting sativa-dominant high, the fresh, peppery aroma offers something new and intriguing for those who have yet to crop this beauty.
In many ways, Royal Jack Automatic really is like a mini-version of the original; however, given Royal Jack’s autoflowering nature, it can be grown nearly anywhere! After the seeds are germinated, feminized plants will grow quickly and be ready to harvest in just 11-12 weeks.
The main effect of this strain is a creative and energising high, but thanks to its mix of Haze, Northern Lights, and Skunk genetics, it also gives you a relaxing, stoney indica feeling. Royal Jack Automatic's cannabis seeds feature a Haze-like peppery profile. The smoke is fresh and smooth with a slightly spicy herbal taste, much like the original Jack Herer strain.
Royal Jack Automatic will perform well in both indoor and outdoor grows, providing average yields of around 70–120g/plant outdoors and up to 400g/m² indoors. It will not grow too tall, reaching a height of 40–90cm, which makes it ideal for smaller or more discreet grows. Royal Queen Seeds is proud to continue the tribute to Jack Herer, the Emperor of Hemp, with this great autoflowering strain.

Strain FAQ
How has Jack Herer affected cannabis culture?
The breed promotes hemp and cannabis activism and is named after Jack Herer who pioneered cannabis and hemp legalisation. The cultivar bearing his name symbolises advancement and possibility, highlighting cannabis's benefits beyond enjoyment.
Does the main terpene in peppery tasting strains add anything else?
It does! Besides its peppery flavour, Caryophyllene can contribute wood, spice, or citrus. Caryophyllene-rich strains have a complex bouquet that pleases those that appreciate complexity.
Do short cannabis strains all taste and smell a certain way?
No! There are a variety of smells and flavours within the range we have here. There's anything from sweet and fruity to earthy and pungent!
Why are auto-flowering strains recommended for beginners?
Auto-flowering strains are reportedly preferred by novices since they age without light cycle modifications and naturally flower. This is said to make them easier to develop under different conditions. Their shorter development cycle makes everything much quicker and avoids the waiting period with 12/12 strains.
How do strains suitable for the outdoors vary phenotypically?
Legal growers report that growing the same strain outdoors can produce startling differences in potency, flavour, and growth. Cannabis is said to be very flexible, with its features finely modified by its growth environment.
