Buds are deep greens with plenty of purple, making for some very pretty flowers. The aroma, too, is pleasant Ð mild and like a sweet perfume.

F12) MENDO PURPLE
SS-CA
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Mendocino Purps, or Mendo Purps, or even just The Purps, comes out of Mendocino County in Northern California. Winning one of the Top Ten slots in High Times’ Strains of the Year in 2007, Mendocino Purps began as a clone-only plant, but BC Bud Depot developed a stable cross to make The Purps seeds available. This cannabis strain grows well both in and outdoors. It can grow 3-4 feet at harvest indoors and 6-8 feet outdoors. Flowering time for this strain is 8-9 weeks. It has medium-thick leaves and green hues that turn more purple as the plant ripens. The taste has been likened to a caramel coffee and woodsy pine.
Origin: (According to WIKILEAF): Mendocino Purps, or Mendo Purps, is an Indica strain that won High Times Cannabis Cups in 2007 and 2009.
Inexperienced users, or those with a lower tolerance, should be aware of this strain’s ability to induce powerful drowsiness and laziness. It is recommended that users keep food close at hand as the “couch-lock” effect may be stronger than the ‘munchies’ effect. Some might also find that this strain may cause ‘the giggles.’ Negative effects include dry mouth and eyes, dizziness, headaches, and some paranoia when high doses are consumed.
Like most pure Indica strains, it should be used in the afternoon or at night as users will become drowsy. For this reason, it is a good medication for insomnia. Mendocino Purps’ mood elevating effects make it effective medicine for relief from stress, anxiety, and depression. The numbing body high gently eases away most chronic aches and pains, particularly those that are accompanied by movement disorders such as muscle spasms. It is also used to calm nausea and increase appetite.
Mendocino Purps is a back-cross of a pure Landrace USA Indica. As its name suggests, this clone-only strain came from Mendocino County in California. While the original Mendocino Purps is rare, BC Bud Depot received one in 2004 and inbred it to create seeds of the strain they called The Purps. It is often confused with the clone-only strain and the hybrid from TH Seeds called Da Purps.
Origin: {NORCAL SEED CO} Northern California.
This strain generally features THC content in the teens, which can climb as high as 20%. Its cannabinoid levels generally fall between 0.20% and 0.30% but can be higher.

F14) CHEM DAWG
SS
I/O
Dried: (Strong Cheese Smell – Chemical Taste – Chemical/OG Blow Out).
Outdoor: Plants get up to 9′ tall and 6′ wide and produce from 2 – 6 pounds.
Origin: {NORCAL SEED CO} Northern California.
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Chemdawg is a legendary strain with an uncertain genetic history. While it is thought to be crossed from Thai and Nepalese sativa Landraces by U.S. Breeders, many have laid claim to this strain’s creation. Chemdawg’s origin stories include one account of a complicated seed exchange among fellow growers at a Grateful Dead concert and another tale pinning the strain’s parentage on a Colorado strain called Dog Bud (so named for its tendency to make the smoker roll over like a dog). Whatever its beginnings, Chemdawg has become a staple in the U.S. Cannabis market for its unique taste and upbeat, energetic high. It has also been used to crossbreed several popular and successful strains. Chemdawg’s THC content has been measured at between 15% and 20%.
Chemdawg has medium-sized buds that look slightly different from those of hybrid or pure indica lineage. Long and tapered rather than popcorn-like, the flowers have relatively loose and wispy leaves. The spring green leaves are covered in sticky white trichomes, lending buds a silver-white appearance. Due to the combination of their loose structure and resinous texture, buds of Chemdawg are particularly difficult to break up by hand — users preparing flowers for joints or pipes will have an easier time with a grinder. The sticky flowers are threaded through with red to orange pistils. Chemdawg has a smell reminiscent of diesel fuel (which many say is the source of the “Chem” in its name). The pungent flowers also give off odors of earthy musk and some pine. As long as flowers are properly cured, this strain has smooth smoke that tastes sour and when inhaled. On the exhale, Chemdawg’s smoke betrays its signature diesel taste with an ammonia-like tang that hits the top of the palate.
The high from Chemdawg hits quickly, sometimes before users have had a chance to finish appreciating its distinctive diesel aroma. Smokers may experience a sharpening of the senses and an increased hyper-awareness of their surroundings. This initially disorienting head high becomes more productively cerebral and introspective in the right set and setting. Chemdawg can lend itself to exuberant conversation. Its ability to amplify sensory experiences also makes it particularly good for creative endeavors. Many users report a palpable sense of physical relaxation — although nothing near couchlock — leading to some speculation that Chemdawg has some indica in its genetics as well. Chemdawg’s strong cerebral high has made it valuable in treating some of the symptoms associated with stress, anxiety, and even PTSD. Some fans of the strain describe relief from chronic pain and migraines as well. Because of its potency and mental focus, Chemdawg has the potential to trigger the kind of manic, recursive thinking that can lead to paranoia. As such, even users with a high tolerance for THC are advised to moderate their intake accordingly.
Chemdawg is a strain whose cultivation is better suited to more experienced growers. For a while, it could only be grown as a clone if a clipping was obtained from a mature plant; now, however, many seed companies sell packaged seeds of Chemdawg. It is more often grown indoors than outdoors, as it requires a good amount of tending to resist mold and mildew. Growing indoors takes some vigilance — the sativa-typical plants often grow over 5 feet tall, and as such, growers should bend and prune them early in the vegetative stage in order to keep them at a manageable height. Plants flower within 9 to 10 weeks when grown indoors and typically offer a very high yield: growers can expect between 65 and 75 grams, or 2.3 and 2.6 ounces, per square footage of plant. Such high yields on such relatively tall plants can make for branches that sag under the weight of the flowers; growers should use tall supports like wooden dowels in order to keep plants upright in the flowering stage. Finally, because of Chemdawg’s pungency, any growers preoccupied with secrecy or discretion should invest in indoor odor-control measures like carbon air filters or exhaust fans.
Chemdawg’s potency has made it a valuable strain for crossbreeding. Its descendant strains include the phenotype Chemdawg 91 as well as the hugely popular hybrids Sour Diesel and OG Kush. More likely to keep users awake then put them to sleep if consumed at night, it has an almost eye-watering pungency and energizing and thought-stimulating effects. Chemdawg can be a great choice for accomplishing tasks, as well as for more celebratory circumstances as it keeps heads buzzing and conversation flowing.

ACDC
SS
I/O
Dried: (Sweet Citrus/OG smell – Mexican Limon Taste – Pot Blow Out).
Outdoor: Plants grow to 6′ tall and 4′ wide and produce 2 – 4 pounds per plant.
Origin: (According to LEAFY): ACDC is a sativa-dominant phenotype of the high-CBD cannabis strain, Cannatonic. One remarkable characteristic of ACDC is its THC:CBD ratio of 1:20, meaning this strain induces no psychoactive effects. Tests have put ACDC’s CBD content as high as 19%, which helps many patients treat pain, anxiety, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and the negative effects of chemotherapy, all without intoxication.
Origin: (According to ALLBUD): ACDC has a high Sativa content, which is why it produces a strong Sativa high on your system. It has a low THC level that ranges from 0.42 percent to 1.2 percent. Its CBD to THC ratio is 20:1. This shows that ACDC does not produce any psychoactive effects on your body. It is a cross between Ruderalis and Cannatonic. Both these strains are added in an equal ratio. ACDC has a strange but pleasant taste which is a mixture of skunk, sweet and earthy flavours. Its aroma is quite similar and is quite pungent with a hint of sweet and earthy scents. Its aroma and taste have a citrus flavour as well. This marijuana strain has an appearance that looks like a strange leafy moss with a greenish orange color. It has a strong euphoric impact on your body that makes you feel extremely happy and calm. You tend to become more focused on your work, and also feel like socializing with people after smoking ACDC. Due to its high CBD content, this strain is excellent for treating chronic pains, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, seizures, nausea, tumors and tremors. It can also mitigate the adverse effects produced by chemotherapy.

Citrus) GRAPEFRUIT
CA
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): This potent sativa was developed by crossing Cinderella 99 with a fast-flowering sativa selected for its rich grapefruit flavor. The tropical, citrus smell of Grapefruit mixes with energetic effects to give you a happy stress-reliever that also works well for battling migraine headaches.
Origin: (According to ALLBUD): Grapefruit is a longtime marijuana classic, a heady blend of the hybrid Cinderella 99 and a sativa bred specifically for its grapefruit flavor. With a sativa/indica ratio of 70:30, this strain packs a decidedly cerebral punch, with a major mood boost and intense euphoria. THC levels have been charted at 20%, so this is a pretty powerful strain. CBD levels, meanwhile, are very low, ruling this out as an effective treatment for epilepsy. But it’s highly effective at relieving anxiety and depression, as well as pain, GI distress, and PMS. The sweet taste and smell of grapefruit are dominant, thought there are also hints of other citrus fruits. Adverse effects are usually quite limited, though dry mouth and red eyes are possible. Dizziness and paranoia are more rare. Grapefruit is common across the country, sold largely on the basis of its unique flavor and aroma. It’s most popular in Colorado and on the West Coast, though it can also be found in other legal markets and the black market. This strain is highly appealing to smokers looking for a strong head high, less so to patients seeking physical effects.

Citrus) PINEAPPLE THAI
SS-CA
I/O
Dried: (Heavy Haze Smell over Sinse – Blue Dream/Goo Flavor – Heavy Dank Blow Out).
Outdoor: Plants reach 8′ tall and 4′ wide and produce 2 – 4 pounds per plant.
Indoor: Plants produce nosey golden flowers at 1 to 1 1/2 pound per light.
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Pineapple Thai is a strain that sets itself apart from the rest with a high 5% CBD content. This flower’s attractiveness comes from its ability to administer powerful pain relief without sedation, embodying true hybrid effects. Although Pineapple Thai is an option for daytime use, its strength may lead to a nighttime preference. Patients who desire the powerful medicinal effects of cannabis without the psychoactive inundation will find Pineapple Thai to be a staple in their arsenal.

Origin: (According to ALLBUD): Pineapple Express is a Sativa dominant strain with a 60:40 sativa/indica ratio. The strain is quite popular and has achieved recognition thanks to the stoner film of the same name. However, you have to keep in mind that the strain is not as intense as the movie has made it out to be. But Pineapple Express still manages to offer a mild and nice body-numbing buzz, which is something to look forward to. The strain is offered in the form of well-weighed nuggets that look like Styrofoam popcorn. It does not taste sweet, but it does smell funky with its citrus overtones. The taste is quite extraordinary with a hint of pineapple while you inhale. Pineapple Express is chosen to treat a lot of medical problems including anxiety and stress. However, it is even more effective at curing the symptoms of chronic depression at the same time. If you are suffering from mild pains and aches, you should look no further. After a smoke, you will realize Pineapple Express is calming and stimulating at the same time. Not only will it heighten all your senses but you will feel energized all the while observing an increase in focus, awareness and creativity.

HASH1) CHOCOLATE HASH BERRY
CA
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Chocolate Hashberry is an aromatic strain with quality effects and beautiful foliage. With a smell indicative of its name, Chocolate Hashberry reeks of chocolate, hashy spice, and sweet berries. This delicious scent comes from combining two fantastic Kush cuts, Chocolate Kush and Blackberry Kush. On top of its excellent flavor and aroma, Chocolate Hashberry’s Kush lineage offers a delightful mid-level sedation and a relaxed mental state that helps curb anxiety and minor pain while enhancing mood and focus.
Origin: (According to WIKILEAF): Chocolate Hashberry is a hybrid with varying claims to its lineage. Alternately said to be a cross between Hashberry and Chocolate Thai or between Blackberry Kush and Chocolate Kush, this strain has a balanced high and a powerful flavor profile. Although breeders and growers provide different stories about this strain’s genetics, its chemical composition does appear to be consistent – cannabis testing laboratory Analytical 360 has shown that multiple samples bearing the Chocolate Hashberry name have been high in the terpene humelene. The THC content of Chocolate Hashberry averages between 20 and 25%.
Chocolate Hashberry buds are strikingly multicolored, with hues of red and purple in some phenotypes. Pistils are more pale yellow than orange and buds have a loose, leafy sativa look. The cured flowers are caked in resin and give off a sharp hash scent. When ground, buds have a rich, earthy aroma with notes of chocolate and fruit – the overall effect is not dissimilar from a full-bodied red wine. Smoke is harsh and can be cough-inducing. A vaguely nutty taste is present on exhale.
The high from Chocolate Hashberry comes on quickly, with a marked increase in focus and alertness. The uplifting cerebral effects are balanced out by calming body melt. This strain’s versatility can translate into simultaneous physical relaxation and relief from mental stress. As such, it’s great for both day and night.
A resilient grow, Chocolate Hashberry is resistant to different conditions. The short, bushy plants take on a Christmas tree shape and are easily grown indoors. Indoor flowering happens within 7-8 weeks and typically results in a high yield. It is recommended that growers prune any low-growing fan leaves to encourage development of calyxes that form at the base of the plant.
With equal parts bag appeal and psychoactive potency, Chocolate Hashberry is a good strain for social use. Its adaptability also makes it attractive to novice growers.

GOO1) PURPLE GOO
SS
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): If you’re looking to kick back and unwind after a long day, Purple Goo is there to give you a hand. This indica is pure relaxation with a euphoric twist. Providing users with a moderate-strong heavy body sensation and a sense of spiritual uplift, Purple Goo is a great nighttime strain and works well for users who suffer from pain, stress, and depression. This is a sweet-tasting strain and has a piney, floral smell.
Origin: (According to ALLBUD): This strain is a relatively popular indica-dominant cross of Afghani Goo and Purple Kush (sativa/indica ratio isn’t widely reported). It generates a sweet flavor and a pungent floral aroma with hints of pine, earth, and berries. Its nugs are bright green with dark brown hairs. Purple Goo can be used as an effective toll for relieving the symptoms of anxiety, depression, and chronic pain. The high it produces is mostly physical, with deeply calming effects and sleepiness balanced with euphoria, mental focus, and a shot of creativity. This strain is said to be relatively potent, but that claim is hard to verify, as there is little public information on THC test results. The same is true of CBD levels, and that alone means Purple Goo shouldn’t be used as the only means of alleviating maladies that require CBD preparations. Commonly reported negative side effects include dry mouth, red eyes, paranoia, dizziness, and headaches. Found on both the legal and black markets, this strain sells best out of legal medical marijuana dispensaries in Arizona, California, Oregon, Washington State, and British Columbia.

A1) PURPLE ALIEN OG KUSH
N.A.
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Purple Alien OG was created after crossing a male of Alien Kush with the heavy effects of Tahoe OG. Known for having beautiful dark purple leaves and being covered in trichomes, Purple Alien OG produces thick cone-shaped buds. Tones of pine, earth, and citrus combine to create a pungent flavor with powerful relaxing effects that are often recommended to those with symptoms of insomnia, nausea, and chronic pain.
Origin: (According to ALLBUD): This strain is a descendant of Alien Kush, an indica, and Tahoe OG Kush, an indica-dominant hybrid. The exact genetic makeup of Purple Alien is unknown, but its parentage suggests it’s indica-heavy. The aroma is sweet and floral, with sweet hints of pine and soil, while the flavor is subtle but tart. The cone-shaped buds have a dark green color with frosty encrusted trichomes blanketing the surface. THC levels are largely a mystery, as are CBD contents. But it isn’t widely known as a CBD strain, so it probably shouldn’t be used as the sole treatment for patients with seizures. The indica genes produce a calming body buzz while the sativa delivers clear-headed, energetic cerebral effects. Use Purple Alien to treat anxiety, depression, mood disorders, irritability, and everyday stress. There are few public reports of side effects, but dry mouth, dry eyes, and paranoia are probably the most common. It’s possible to find this strain at medical marijuana dispensaries in California, Oregon, and Michigan, but it’s scarce in other places, including the black market. Save Purple Alien for late nights, as it generates powerful couch-lock.

K5) BLACK BERRY KUSH
CA
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): This mostly indica strain is a mix of Afghani and Blackberry strains and has beautiful dark purple buds with orange hairs. Plants will flower at 7-8 weeks and are not particularly high yielders, but the dense, hard nugs have crystals throughout. Blackberry Kush tends to have a hashy, jet fuel smell and taste that is balanced by sweet berries. Blackberry Kush is often recommended for the treatment of pain thanks to its strong indica body effects.
Origin: (According to ALLBUD): Blackberry Kush is an indica strain. The strain is incredibly potent, especially considering its 20% THC content offering an amazing high. The buds are dense, covered by trichomes and red hairs. However, you will notice hues of yellow, purples and blacks laced throughout the vivid buds. On the other hand, it has a very strong Kush aroma that is smooth-sweet and heady. But it is not as pungent as you would expect it to be. As for the taste, it tastes a lot like it smells. There is a pretty good reason why it is known as Blackberry Kush, it does have a berry taste to it after all. What is really amazing about Blackberry Kush is that you will require very little of it to get the high you want. However, smoking too much of the strain will make you sleep in no time. This explains why it is highly preferred by patients suffering from pain and insomnia. However, since it is an indica dominant strain, it is better for night time use. Black Berry Kush has a lot of medical applications and is prescribed to patients who are unable to cope with nervousness, anxiety and stress.

Mazar, with its resin-oozing buds, lends its potent full-body euphoria while its other pure indica parent passes on a pungent aroma of hashy incense and chocolate. This strain grows into medium-sized plants with a Christmas tree structure and flowers in 56 to 60 days. The sativa-dominant Chocolope Kush sometimes goes by the name Chocolate Kush, so be sure to confirm this strain’s genetics with your budtender if you’re looking for the heavy-handed indica.
STRAIN AGE: UNKNOWN
K7) PINEAPPLE KUSH
SS/CA
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Pineapple Kush marijuana strain has an aroma of pineapple with accents of caramel and butter. The flavor is described as a subtle sweet pineapple taste with a mint undertone. While the breeder of this strain is unknown, its parents are Pineapple and Master Kush. The buds are brown/green in color and covered with amber crystals. With a THC content of up to 15% and CBD of 0.14%, the buzz is commonly described as cerebral, with a light body sensation.
Origin: (According to ALLBUD): Pineapple Kush is that rarest of finds on the medical marijuana market: a therapeutic strain high in CBD and low in THC. CBD levels top 5%, making this an ideal strain for treating epileptic disorders and other problems that require that cannabinoid. At the same time, THC levels are below 3%, and that means children with seizure disorders may be able to safely use Pineapple Kush extracts (consult a doctor or budtender for more information). This strain is a sativa-dominant hybrid with an unknown sativa/indica ratio, and though there isn’t much of a high, the effects are said to be creative, happy, sociable, and mentally focused. Aside from seizures, this strain can be used to treat anxiety, physical fatigue, inflammation, migraines, muscle spasms, nausea, and pain. The smell is earthy and sweet and the flavor is earthy with hints of chestnut and pineapple. The dense, leafy buds are dark green with brown hairs. Dry mouth is the most commonly reported side effect, though dry eyes, dizziness, anxiety, and paranoia are also possible. Pineapple Kush can be found at select dispensaries in Northern California and the Bay Area.
STRAIN AGE: 8+ YEARS.
K8) BUBBA KUSH
SS
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Bubba Kush is an indica strain that has gained notoriety in the U.S. and beyond for its heavy tranquilizing effects. Sweet hashish flavors with subtle notes of chocolate and coffee come through on the exhale, delighting the palate as powerful relaxation takes over. From head to toe, muscles ease with heaviness as dreamy euphoria blankets the mind, crushing stress while coercing happy moods. Bubba Kush exhibits a distinctive, bulky bud structure with hues that range from forest green to pale purple.
Bubba’s stocky plant stature and bulky bud structure suggest Afghani descent, but its genetic origins aren’t certain. The breeder whom this strain was named after states that Bubba Kush emerged just after 1996, when an OG Kush hybrid pollinated an unknown indica strain obtained in New Orleans. The mother plant was supposedly Northern Lights, but the genetically ambiguous indica was simply called “Bubba.” Bubba Kush has flourished from its California roots ever since.

CZ2) CHEESE
N.A.
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Named for its sharply sour aroma, Cheese is an indica-dominant hybrid from the U.K. that has achieved widespread popularity for its unique flavor and consistent potency. With origins that stretch back to the late 1980s, Cheese is said to descend from a Skunk #1 phenotype whose pungent aroma made it stand out. Breeders like Big Buddha Seeds later introduced Afghani indica genetics to increase Cheese’s trichome production and yields. The resulting hybrid is now well-known for its relaxed, happy effects that gently ease you into a blissful state of mind.
Origin: (According to WIKILEAF): Cheese reportedly tastes and smells like strong cheddar. Despite being Indica-dominant, the strain is said to hit hard and fast. Users’ first experience of increased happiness and waves of euphoria is followed by a powerful body-numbing high that leads to increased appetite. A few users report feeling more creative than lazy or tired, but the sedating Indica effect is likely to be the most powerful, resulting in a couch-lock. Side effects include cotton mouth and bloodshot eyes. Some users report paranoia, dizziness, and increased anxiety.
The strain retains the mood-elevating qualities of a Sativa and is often used by people dealing with stress and anxiety disorders. The heavy body melt provides relief from chronic aches and pains. Many find it useful for treatment of insomnia. Cheese is also often used by people who need to increase appetite.
Cheese is a famous strain that originated in the United Kingdom. The strain is a rare female phenotype of Skunk #1 a cross between Afghanistan (Indica), Mexico (Sativa) and Columbia (Sativa). It first appeared between 1988 and 1989 and was quickly cloned and passed on. As a female phenotype, the original strain is only available as a clone, but other breeders have imitated it in seed form by crossing a female Cheese with other Indica strains.

Dried:
Origin:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): UK Cheese is a popular hybrid strain known for its potent, balanced effects and signature musty cheese smell. The flavor is also unique with notes of berries and spicy cheese (one that may just have to be tasted rather than described). This strain is thought to be a specific phenotype (same genetics, different end result) of Skunk #1 that was originally cultivated in the early 1990s by a UK collective group known as “Exodus.” (As a result, this strain is also known as Exodus Cheese.) UK Cheese became popular for its energetic, euphoric head effects combined with its impressive pain relief potential. It quickly spread beyond the borders of its British home. Most users experience alert, sativa effects that allow for mental relaxation without sedation, but it may hasten bedtime for some. Effects tend to be felt in the head first, generally around the eyes, then spread throughout the entire body, producing muscle relaxation and even some tingly numbness. UK’s flowers are on the denser end of the scale and light green with a coat of orange hairs that would make both Prince Charles and Prince William jealous.

J1) HERRIJUANA
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Originally bred by Woodhorse Seeds, Herijuana is a combination of the highly regarded Humboldt County Afghan indica called Petrolia Headstash and an outdoor hybrid from Kentucky known only as the “Killer New Haven” strain. This combo was worked by breeders for 15 generations to create an inbred line (IBL), meaning that most of the seeds will grow into plants that are nearly identical. Herijuana produces large dense flowers on an open, stretchy plant, with aromas and flavors ranging from spicy earth and sandalwood to hashy fruit. THC levels have been measured at over 25%, and the high provides a heavy, almost numbing feeling.
Origin: (According to WIKILEAF): Herijuana is a descendant of a Humboldt County strain called Petrolia Headstash, an Indica of Afghani origins and a Kentucky landrace hybrid (possibly Killer New Haven).
In 2006, Sannie of Sannie’s seeds inherited Herijuana, also called Herojuana, from Motarebel when the breeder had to take a hiatus from growing. Motarebel had acquired Herijuana from Woodhorse Seeds and had carefully tweaked the strain to perfection. Sannie and Motarebel often traded and worked on genetics together, so it was only natural for him to take the temporarily orphaned strain.
Herijuana can have nearly 25% THC in a 100 milligram sample, and as a result it can have a positive effect on both head and body. It may be thought-provoking and meditative, and it can alleviate stress and anxiety. This strain may help regulate mood disorders, including chronic depression. The numbing effect on the body relieves pain and eases muscle twitches and spasms. Herijuana may also help with ADD/ADHD, migraines, and arthritis. Eventually, its sedative effects can put users into a deep sleep.
This strain, which smells like spicy earth, is recommended for growing indoors but some have had success in cultivating it outdoors. Herijuana grows anywhere from two to more than three meters tall and needs between seven and nine weeks to reach harvest. Fairly resistant to temperature fluctuations, mold, and fungal disease, this strain can be a good choice for beginners. It can be grown with the Sea of Green, Screen of Green or super cropping techniques. Herijuana may produce 500 grams or more per square meter.

J2) BLACK JACK
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): Black Jack is a marijuana strain that produces hard buds with huge, grape-like calyxes that are completely encrusted with THC. The taste is heavy and flavorful and the strain produces exceptionally long-lasting effects. Because of its high THC levels, Black Jack is popular among medical marijuana patients.
Origin: (According to WIKILEAF): Black Jack is a name applied to two closely-related strains. One strain was created by Sweet Seeds, and is a cross between two Sensi Seeds parents — the mostly indica, Afghani landrace-derived Black Domina and the more balanced Jack Herer. The other Black Jack strain (sometimes spelled Blackjack) was created by Nirvana Seeds. This latter Blackjack is a cross between Black Domina and Jock Horror, Nirvana’s own spin on Jack Herer, which is sativa-dominant cross between staple strains Northern Lights, Skunk, and Haze. The THC composition of these Black Jacks cumulatively ranges between 15% and 25%.
Black Jack buds of the Nirvana variety tend to be smaller and popcorn-like, with pale green leaves and orange pistils that are covered in trichomes. The nugs of the Sweet Seeds variety on the other hand are larger and denser, sometimes with a purple tint to the leaves. Both varieties are very sticky and difficult to break up by hand. The high resin content of these strains makes them ideal for the production of hash and other THC concentrates. Both Black Jack strains smell and taste of wood and pine, but the Sweet Seeds type carries over the distinctive floral smell of its Jack Herer parent, with fresh grapefruit balanced out by some musk and tobacco. Nirvana’s variety, while similar, may also have a hint of berries. The smoke from both Black Jack strains is often described as heavy, but smooth to inhale. Both taste sweets and slightly creamy or malted on the exhale.
Sweet Seeds’ Black Jack has a high that strikes the user quickly, leading to a sense of heaviness in the head. As it progresses, the effects are generally uplifting, anxiety-reducing and depression-relieving. Users report a lasting sense of focus and motivation, although this energy can veer into jitters and paranoia depending on dosage and individual tolerance. Although there is a mild body high, this strain, like Jack Herer, strikes a very good balance between cerebral and physical effects. Sweet Seeds’ Black Jack is appropriate for daytime use for users looking to complement daily activities or possibly exercise routines.
Nirvana’s Black Jack has many of these same properties, but coupled with a nice bodily effect, often described as relaxing. The strong pull of this strain may slow users down, but will not necessarily lead to immobilizing couchlock. The sense of physical relaxation can contribute to relief from chronic pain and can also be a remedy for insomnia. The mental effects of Nirvana’s Black Jack are often described as more psychedelic than cerebral — visual distortions, strong time dilation, and a generally trippy sharpening of the senses may not be uncommon. Because of the possibility of couchlock and this strain’s other disorienting effects, it is recommended for evening or nighttime usage, as a social lubricant or an individual sleep aid.
Both the Sweet Seeds and Nirvana Black Jack varieties have a high that is thought to last much longer than average — from 3 to 4 hours depending on dosage.
Either strain of Black Jack can be grown by newcomers to cultivation with relative ease. Both strains can be grown indoors or out. Outdoors, they need consistent but dappled sunlight and a consistent ambient temperature of between 70 and 80 degree Fahrenheit. Indoor growing is convenient, as the plants of both strains tend more towards a bushy indica shape, with moderate height but strong lateral branching. With both strains, expect to see large spaces between the individual bud sites, or nodes, on the stems. Sweet Seeds’ Black Jack flowers in just eight to nine weeks indoors. Nirvana’s Blackjack, on the other hand, requires between nine and eleven weeks to flower. Because of their complex aromatic genetics, these strains can be very pungent towards the end of the flowering period, which may be a concern for growers looking to keep a low profile. Both have a typically high yield, and can produce up to 500 grams (or about 1 pound) of flowers per square meter. Both Sweet Seeds and Nirvana sell packaged seeds of their proprietary Black Jack varieties online; alternatively, either of these strains can be grown as clones by obtaining a clipping from a healthy, mature plant.
Independent of their producers or genetic differences, the Black Jack strains are unique in their boldness. Both are built on sturdy, time-tested strains that impart striking scent and flavor profiles. Both also offer a heavy, steady high that lasts longer than average, providing an economic benefit to the consumer. Depending on its lineage, Black Jack can be a welcome strain for the busy user trying to energize or lift their moodÉ or just a delicious treat for the user looking to unwind as the day ends.

J3) XJ13
I/O
Dried:
Origin: (According to LEAFY): XJ-13 is a sativa-dominant strain cherished for both its therapeutic potency and enjoyable euphoric buzz. This hybrid cross of Jack Herer and G13 Haze induces unencumbered cerebral effects perfect for stimulating creativity and conversation. As if we needed another reason to love this lightweight sativa, XJ-13 consistently exhibits a strong citrus aroma accented by notes of earthy pine. Novice consumers looking for an easy, paranoia-free experience can depend on XJ-13 as a surefire way to relieve stress and mood-related symptoms.
ORIGIN: (According to WIKILEAF): With a history even more obscure than it’s famous parent, the only truth known about XJ-13 is it’s direct lineage. It is a cross between the widely known strain G-13 and another famous strain, Jack Herer. While the breeder is unknown, it was listed in Oaksterdam University’s 2011 clone catalog as being a “Garden Rescue” but no further information has surfaced. Some believe that the strain is an attempt to overcome G-13’s main weak point, a lack of flavor that could really be called pleasurable. XJ-13 tastes of sweet and spice, with hints of pine and lime. This hybrid produces a body numbing buzz that comes packaged with mood elevation, clarity and attentiveness.
An ideal strain for patients to jump start their day, XJ-13 may provide good morning and daytime relief from pain, anxiety, stress and depression. It may be very effective medication for some insomniacs. The strain can also alleviate the effects of migraines, nausea and anorexia. This strain is very potent and patients should take caution when using it.
This strain is clone only, capable of being grown both indoors and out. XJ-13 tends to finish flowering right between eight and nine weeks. Many growers recommend vegetating the strain for a month and topping it at least once. Outdoors the strain is ready for harvest around mid-October.
