Apple Jack
Also known as: AppleJack
Apple Jack Strain Overview
Apple Jack is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary strains: Jack Herer and White Widow. This strain was originally popularized in Amsterdam coffee shops around 2001, though it briefly faced extinction when the original mother plants died. Dutch breeders later recovered the genetics through specialized breeding techniques. The strain exhibits typical hybrid characteristics with genetics that straddle the 50/50 indica-to-sativa line, though some sources report a slight sativa dominance at 70%. Users report that Apple Jack delivers a well-rounded experience combining the cerebral stimulation of Jack Herer with the relaxing euphoria of White Widow.
Apple Jack is renowned for its distinctive appearance, featuring dense, compact buds with vibrant green coloration complemented by orange pistils and a heavy coating of crystalline trichomes. The strain lives up to its name with an aromatic profile reminiscent of fresh sliced apples, layered with skunky, earthy undertones and subtle pine notes. This unique fragrance translates into a flavor profile that combines sweet apple notes with spicy, earthy characteristics inherited from its parent strains. The strain's balanced effects make it suitable for both daytime and evening use, offering mental clarity and focus while providing gentle physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation.

Apple Jack Strain Growing Information
Apple Jack is considered a moderately easy strain to cultivate, suitable for both indoor and outdoor growing environments. The strain has a flowering time of 8-9 weeks (56-63 days) and produces solid yields when properly cared for. Indoor cultivation typically yields 300-400 grams per square meter (14-16 ounces per square meter), while outdoor plants can produce 400-500 grams per plant (up to 18 ounces per plant) under optimal conditions.
