Growing Jack Herer Seeds
The Jack Herer strain has several phenotypes, most of them produce a tall and early flowering sativa dominant plant. An occasional more indica leaning phenotype will pop up about 20% of the time. All of the Jack plants are best grown in a warm climate with low humidity. Indoor gardens would do well to employ the SOG and SCROG growing methods. 10-12 weeks of flowering for indoor plants with an average yield of 18oz/m2 is standard. While outdoors, Jack finishes flowering in late September and provides a typical harvest of 18oz/plant.
