Jack Herer weed

Jack Herer weed strain is a sativa dominant hybrid strain (80% sativa/20% indica). Also, it is a cross of the classic Haze X (Northern Lights #5 X Shiva Skunk) strains. This bud has a sweet and sour citrusy lemon flavor with a woody pine exhale. The aroma is said to be like Pine-Sol, with a lemony pine overtone accented by earthy herbs and spicy flowers. Jack Herer buds have oversized pepper-shaped bright neon green nugs with golden undertones, thick orange hairs and a coating of frosty golden-amber crystal trichomes.

Jack Herer weed strain’s flowers are not particularly visually impressive: pale to medium green leaves form in densely-packed buds that are more elongated than rounded. The trichome count is high, making this a very sticky plant to handle.

What Jack Herer lacks in visual appeal, though, it makes up for in scent. Cured properly, the flowers have a deep floral bouquet with hints of orange and lemon zest. Breaking open the dense buds shows off more of the citrus scent along with a peppery kick. When burnt, the flowers give off a surprisingly clean and herbal scent, similar to sage. The very smooth and easy smoke tastes similarly herbal. Although not overwhelmingly pungent, Jack Herer weed leaves behind a lingering spicy-floral odor giving the general impression of potpourri.

Type of high

Jack Herer weed packs a lifted and energizing high that’s perfect for a day when you need a little extra oomph to get up and moving. You’ll feel the effects hit you almost as soon as you exhale, filling your brain with a lifted sense of clear-headed euphoria and motivation that’s accented by a boost in creativity and focus. You’ll find that conversations come easily in this state as you’re inspired to talk about anything and everything from philosophy to your favorite foods. Combined with its high 15-24% average THC level, these effects make Jack Herer weed a great choice for treating chronic stress or anxiety, depression, headaches or migraines and chronic fatigue.

What follows is an alert and easily suggestible high marked by creativity. This is a particularly good strain for creative brainstorming and visualization. The sense of ease and creativity also makes Jack Herer great for facilitating conversation in social settings.

Growing

Sensi describes four distinct phenotypes of Jack Herer: two that lean indica and two that are predominantly sativa. Outdoor growers should plant in Mediterranean-like climates that maintain daily temperatures between 72 and 80℉. Plants can reach heights of 8 feet in certain conditions, so indoor growers should be sure to curb the height of Jack Herer by topping and by flowering soon after the plants take root.
