Jack Herer is naturally resistant to insects and fungus, making it easy to grow for beginners. The plant tends to increase in size tremendously during the flowering stage, so a lot of space may be needed. It can be successfully grown outside, but the creators of the strain warn that it was developed primarily for indoor cultivation. If you want to grow it outdoors, then the climate must be exactly right.
If you live in a warm area with plenty of sunshine, then you can go ahead and plant this strain in your garden. Without the confinement of a ceiling, it can get monstrously tall. Compared to other strains, though, it is not considered leafy, and so you will not have to feed it excessive amounts of nitrogen. It will switch to the flowering stage when the daylight hours get shorter in late September. If all goes well, each plant will produce up to 18 ounces (510 grams) of usable weed. However, take note that it still demands a balmy temperature between 70 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit (21 to 30 degrees Celsius) up until you harvest in October.
Obviously, the temperature is much easier to control indoors. If your grow room can accommodate a 5-foot tall (1.5 meters) plant, then you will have no trouble. Otherwise, you can train it using the Screen of Green method (SCROG). During the vegetative stage, tuck the branches through a mesh suspended about 8 inches (20 cm) above the plant’s base. This restricts the plant’s height and encourages more bud sites to emerge, instead of one towering cola. Sounds complicated? Rest assured, you can jump right into this technique and see great results even if you are a novice grower.
SCROG lets you grow multiple plants in smaller pots within a limited area. Just make sure that every one of them receives adequate light and aeration. The flowering stage will begin when you change your light settings from 18/6 to 12/12. After a 9-week blooming period, you can have a maximum yield of 16 to 18 ounces (450 to 510 grams) per square meter as long as your plants are fed and watered properly.
Jack Herer buds are sage green and sprinkled with orange pistils. The most remarkable thing about them is they are covered in a thick layer of trichomes. Even after curing and drying, this sparkling white dust can be still be seen. Experts have remarked that the buds contain more resin than actual plant tissue. For this reason, this strain is one of the most highly-prized in the world.
To ensure that your growing experience is trouble-free, our Jack Herer seeds are feminized. This guarantees that your plants will be female, not male. As this 2017 report explains, male plants do not produce smokable buds and in fact, they can cause damage to flowering females. Because the male sex chromosomes have been eliminated from these seeds, you will have significantly larger yields that contain higher cannabinoid levels.
