Jack Herer, also known as "JH," "The Jack," "Premium Jack," and "Platinum Jack" is a sativa-dominant marijuana strain that has gained as much renown as its namesake, the marijuana activist and author of
The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Combining a Haze hybrid with a
Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk cross, Sensi Seeds created Jack Herer
hoping to capture both cerebral elevation and heavy resin production.
Its rich
genetic background gives rise to several different variations of this strain, each
phenotype bearing its own unique features and effects. However, consumers typically describe this 55% sativa hybrid as blissful, clear-headed, and creative.
This strain was created in the
Netherlands in the mid-1990s, where it was later distributed by Dutch pharmacies as a recognized medical-grade strain. Since then, this spicy, pine-scented strain has taken home numerous awards for its quality and potency. Many breeders have attempted to cultivate this staple strain themselves in sunny or Mediterranean climates, and indoor growers should wait 50 to 70 days for Jack Herer to flower
