Jack Herer is a 55% slightly Sativa leaning hybrid that was created by Nevil Schoenmakers while working for Sensi Seeds in Holland. This veteran Dutch seed company named the strain in honor of Jack Herer, the legendary cannabis activist and best-selling author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. This strain was first released during the 94 High Times Cannabis Cup and presented to Jack Herer by Sensi Seeds whilst touring the Cannabis Castle in Amsterdam.
Despite this medical-grade strain’s exact lineage never being officially disclosed by Sensi Seeds, it’s been widely accepted that she is a three-way cross between Northern Lights #5, Haze and Shiva Skunk. Jack Herer has gained much recognition, receiving many awards over the years and has been used in the creation of many other well-known hybrids such as Jack’s Cleaner, Jack the Ripper and Jack Flash.

GROW INFO –

There are also further variations of phenotype with various expressions being shown from the inherited traits. Jack Herer plants show high resistance to most molds and bugs. She is considered a moderately difficult strain to grow but is well worth the effort as she rewards growers with extremely resinous buds that are frosted in trichomes and highly prized for making extracts and hash.
