Jack Widow Strain Overview
Jack Widow is a hybrid cannabis strain created by crossing two legendary Dutch cultivars, Jack Herer and White Widow. This strain combines the best characteristics of its award-winning parent strains, resulting in a predominantly sativa-dominant hybrid (approximately 70-80% sativa genetics) that offers balanced effects suitable for both recreational and therapeutic use. Different breeders have produced varying phenotypes, with some versions leaning more indica-dominant while maintaining the core genetic foundation.
The strain exhibits dense, arrowhead-shaped buds with a distinctive deep olive green coloration accented by thick amber pistils and a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. Jack Widow is recognized for its robust resin production, making it particularly valuable for extract and concentrate production. The plant demonstrates remarkable stability and resistance to environmental stressors, with compact growth patterns that make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Its relatively short flowering period and high yields have made it popular among commercial growers and home cultivators alike.
