This fabled Dutch variety has enjoyed great success and is a favourite within the cannabis world. Usually sold in many gene banks, this is the first time it is being sold from 100% organic crops. A vigorous structure that reaches quite a height; its lateral flowers are compact and as big as the central tail, therefore it requires garden stakes. It grows with strength and was selected because of its low flowering cycle. It is highly resilient to pests, which makes it ideal for beginner growers.
Its flavour is citric and sweet, absolutely delicious! Its smell of incense is very particular, with notes of cedar and certain spices. The effect however is devastating, hence its name. Energetic and very creative but very powerful, so it is not suitable for new consumers. Its therapeutic properties are ideal for reducing nausea and stress despite its low content in CBD.
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.
Can the same woodsy strain smell different based on its environment?
Genetics, environmental conditions, and curing can all reportedly affect a cannabis strain's aroma, including woodsy notes. A strain grown in one environment may have subtle terpene differences from another.
Are these strains variable?
Environmental circumstances can reportedly cause considerable phenotypic differences even in strains that finish by mid-November. This shows how environment affects cannabis cultivation, as seeds from the same strain can produce plants with different flowering times, heights, and cannabinoid levels.
Were Sativa strains ever used for anything other than getting high or medicine?
Sativas' capabilities go beyond just these two things. Their strong fibres have been used to make ropes, clothes, and paper. This shows just how varied and valuable the cannabis plant has been even before its more modern uses.
Why is flowering time important for phenotypic expression?
Terpenes and cannabinoids, which give plants their flavours and effects, develop during flowering. This time is said to ensure a complete manifestation of the plant's potential by allowing for a richer, more nuanced profile than faster-flowering strains.
