Cracker Jaxx
Also known as: Cracker Jacks, Cracker Jack
Cracker Jaxx Strain Overview
Cracker Jaxx is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by crossing the popular Jack Herer with an undisclosed indica-dominant parent, though some sources suggest it may involve a Kush variety. The strain emerged in the early 2010s from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, where breeders sought to combine Jack Herer's cerebral effects with more pronounced physical relaxation. While not as widely documented as its parent strain, Cracker Jaxx has gained a following among enthusiasts who appreciate its balanced effects and complex flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure characteristic of indica-influenced hybrids. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, while a thick coating of trichomes gives them a frosty appearance. The plant structure tends to be bushy with strong lateral branching, making it suitable for various training techniques.
Cracker Jaxx is noted for its distinctive aroma that combines the signature pine and citrus notes of Jack Herer with earthier, sweeter undertakes from its indica parent. The flavor profile is similarly complex, with users reporting a smooth smoke that transitions from initial citrus notes to deeper earthy and spicy flavors on the exhale. While not as commercially widespread as some mainstream strains, Cracker Jaxx maintains a dedicated following in certain regional markets and among home growers who appreciate its reliable performance and well-rounded effects.

Cracker Jaxx Strain Growing Information
Cracker Jaxx is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments, though it prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors. Plants tend to reach medium height (1-1.5 meters indoors, 1.5-2 meters outdoors) and benefit from pruning and training techniques like topping or SCROG to maximize light penetration and yield. Cracker Jaxx is moderately resistant to common pests and molds but requires good air circulation to prevent bud rot in dense colas.
