Jack Straw
What is the Jack Straw strain?
Jack Straw is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its cerebral effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Jack Straw is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain consisting of 80% sativa and 20% indica, created through a genetic cross between Touch of Grey and Jack The Ripper. The strain emerged from the Pacific Northwest breeding scene in the early 2010s, where sativa-forward hybrids were in high demand for daytime clarity and creativity. The name hints at its parentage—"Jack" nodding to Jack lineage and "Straw" to a strawberry-influenced background—while also invoking a classic, vintage vibe.
Physically, Jack Straw buds have long grape-shaped minty green nugs with bright amber undertones, lots of thin amber hairs and a coating of tiny frosty amber crystal trichomes. The strain exhibits four main phenotypes, including a Jack The Ripper dominant variant that is tall & stretchy, and a Touch of Grey dominant variant that is short & stocky. Two slightly differing aromas are also possible, one that resembles lemon haze and another more like straight sweet haze. Esteemed for its quick flowering time of only 56 to 63 days, Jack Straw has been bred by multiple sources including Homegrown Natural Wonders and SubCool's The Dank.
