Jack Herer

Jack Herer is a cannabis legend who is one of the undisputed heroes of the cannabis world. The strain owes its name to an American activist who championed the legalization of marijuana and the broader use of hemp in many industries.

Jack Herer was created in the Netherlands in the mid-1990s as a tribute to the infamous activist and author. Consisting of Haze x Shiva Skunk x Northern Lights #5 genetics, she quickly rose on the bestsellers list in Dutch coffee shops for being a reputable and reliable medical-grade variety.

The plant version earned a reputation for its stability and excellent results without too much skill and effort on the grower's part. Feminized Jack Herer seeds offer the best elements of Sativa (55%) and Indica (45%) regarding cultivation and its effect.

Furthermore, Jack Herer has won nine Cannabis Cup medals, which speaks for itself. Therefore, it is not surprising that Jack Herer seeds are extremely popular among growers worldwide.

Growing Information

As for cultivation, Jack Herer is a reasonably thick and productive plant that produces enormous buds. To prevent snapping, the branches should be supported. Most sativa plants should be controlled indoors by training or pruning them.

She is pretty rapacious regarding nutrients but offers impressive results under the right growing conditions. Outdoors, Jack Herer prefers warm, dry climates such as the Mediterranean coast, where she will produce outstanding results with large, productive trees.

However, if you grow in a cooler, wetter region, you would be well-advised to use a greenhouse. In addition, she does not develop a strong odor until after harvest and good ripening, which makes Jack Herer an ally of choice in terms of discretion.
