Blackberry Jack
Also known as: Black Jack Berry, Blackberry Jack Herer
Blackberry Jack Strain Overview
Blackberry Jack is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing the legendary sativa-dominant Jack Herer with the indica-dominant Blackberry Kush. This combination produces a balanced hybrid that inherits desirable traits from both parent strains. The strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to combine Jack Herer's cerebral effects with Blackberry Kush's relaxing properties and distinctive berry flavors. It has gained popularity among both recreational and medicinal users for its well-rounded effects and appealing sensory profile.
The strain's appearance is characterized by dense, conical buds with a structure leaning toward its Jack Herer heritage. The flowers display a striking color palette ranging from deep forest green to purple hues, often with vibrant orange pistils weaving through the buds. A thick coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, indicating high potency. The leaves may show purple coloration, particularly in cooler growing conditions, which enhances the visual appeal.
Blackberry Jack is noted for its complex aroma and flavor profile that combines elements from both parent strains. The initial scent often presents sweet berry notes from the Blackberry Kush lineage, followed by earthy, piney undertones characteristic of Jack Herer. When consumed, users typically experience a sweet berry flavor on the inhale with spicy, herbal notes on the exhale. The strain's effects are generally described as balanced, providing both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without excessive sedation.

Blackberry Jack Strain Growing Information
Blackberry Jack is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready by mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 14-18 ounces per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 16-20 ounces per plant under optimal conditions. The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments, though it thrives in Mediterranean-like climates with consistent temperatures. Plants tend to reach medium height (4-6 feet outdoors) with a bushy structure that may require pruning for optimal light penetration. Special considerations include maintaining stable humidity levels during flowering to prevent mold, particularly in dense buds. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield.
