Jah Goo
Jah Goo
Also known as: Purple Jah Goo, Jah-Goo+, P.Jah Goo
Overview
Jah Goo is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged through a cross of Purple Jasmine and Afghani Goo (also referred to as 'Goo'), with some sources suggesting alternative lineage including Light of Jah and Afgoo. This strain has an unusual origin story, reportedly transported to North America by Canadian Vietnam veterans returning from Southeast Asia. The strain exhibits a typical 50/50 indica-sativa ratio, though different sources suggest it may lean slightly indica-dominant in some phenotypes.
The buds of Jah Goo are notably dense and dark green in color, often displaying vibrant purple hues with bright pink pistils and a generous coating of crystal trichomes. This resinous appearance makes it visually striking and indicative of its potent nature. The strain is characterized by its complex terpene profile dominated by myrcene, limonene, and caryophyllene, contributing to its distinctive aroma and effects.
Jah Goo has gained recognition for its balanced effects that begin with uplifting, euphoric sensations before transitioning into deep physical relaxation. The strain's versatility makes it suitable for various times of day, though its sedating qualities are more pronounced in higher doses. Its therapeutic potential has made it popular among medical cannabis users, particularly for managing pain, stress, anxiety, and sleep disorders.

Growing Information
Jah Goo is considered beginner-friendly to cultivate due to its predictable yields and manageable compact structure. The strain grows to a relatively small height of 0-4 feet both indoors and outdoors, making it suitable for growers with limited vertical space. It thrives in warm climates and has a flowering period of 8-10 weeks. Indoor cultivators can expect yields of up to 500g/m², while outdoor plants can produce around 500g per plant. Outdoor harvesting typically occurs from late September to early October. The strain's dense nature and consistent yield make it reliable for both novice and experienced growers. Seeds and clones are generally difficult to obtain as many breeders, particularly in Northern California, tend to keep this strain exclusive.
