Blackjack
Blackjack
Also known as: Black Jack
Overview
Blackjack is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of Black Domina and Jack Herer, two well-respected strains in the cannabis community. This strain was developed to capture the energizing and cerebral effects of Jack Herer while incorporating some of the relaxing qualities of Black Domina. The strain typically exhibits a sativa-leaning growth pattern with moderately tall plants that produce dense, resinous buds.
The appearance of Blackjack is characterized by medium to large-sized buds that are typically bright green with purple undertones, especially when grown in cooler temperatures. The flowers are covered in a thick layer of trichomes that give them a frosted appearance, while orange pistils weave throughout the bud structure. The strain is known for its pungent aroma that combines earthy, pine, and citrus notes with subtle spicy undertones inherited from its Jack Herer lineage.
Blackjack has gained popularity among both recreational and medical cannabis users for its balanced effects profile. The strain typically produces an uplifting, energetic high that can enhance creativity and focus while providing mild relaxation. Its moderate to high THC content makes it suitable for both novice and experienced users, though beginners should approach with caution due to its potency.

Growing Information
Blackjack is considered moderately difficult to grow and is suitable for cultivators with some experience. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 9-10 weeks when grown indoors. It tends to stretch during the flowering phase, reaching medium to tall heights of 4-6 feet indoors and potentially taller outdoors. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a warm, dry climate when grown outdoors. Yields are typically moderate to high, with indoor plants producing around 400-500 grams per square meter. Growers should provide adequate support for branches during flowering due to the weight of the dense buds.
