Jack Poison
Also known as: Jack Poison OG
What is the Jack Poison strain?
Jack Poison is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Jack Poison is a relatively modern hybrid cannabis strain that combines the genetics of two legendary parent strains: Jack Herer and Poison OG. This strain emerged in the early 2010s as breeders sought to create a balanced hybrid that would offer both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. While its exact origins are somewhat obscure in cannabis breeding circles, it has gained popularity in certain regional markets, particularly in North America and Europe, where it is appreciated for its versatile effects and complex flavor profile.
The strain typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by bright green coloration interspersed with vibrant orange pistils. A generous coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance that hints at its potency. The buds often exhibit a slightly conical structure reminiscent of its Jack Herer lineage, while displaying the tighter bud formation associated with Poison OG genetics. The strain's aroma is immediately noticeable upon handling, releasing a complex bouquet that combines elements from both parent strains.
Jack Poison is known for its balanced effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to physical relaxation. This makes it suitable for both daytime and evening use depending on dosage. The strain's name reflects its dual nature - the 'Jack' component referring to the uplifting qualities inherited from Jack Herer, and 'Poison' alluding to the potent, sedative effects contributed by Poison OG. While not as widely available as some mainstream commercial strains, Jack Poison has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced effects and complex terpene profile.

How do you grow Jack Poison?
Jack Poison is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited 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 adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation but thrives in controlled indoor environments where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach medium height, typically between 100-150 cm indoors and 150-200 cm outdoors. Jack Poison responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training (LST) to maximize yields and manage height.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds, particularly in the later flowering stages. The plants prefer a Mediterranean-like climate with moderate humidity (40-50% during flowering) and temperatures between 20-26°C (68-79°F). Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers noting sensitivity to nitrogen in the flowering phase. Regular monitoring for pests is recommended, as the strain's dense foliage can sometimes attract spider mites and other common cannabis pests.
