JarHead
JarHead Strain Overview
JarHead is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from the Pacific Northwest region of the United States in the early 2010s. The strain's exact origins are somewhat obscure, with limited documentation available from breeders, but it appears to have been developed by small-scale cultivators rather than major commercial seed companies. The name 'JarHead' is believed to reference both the strain's dense, tightly-packed bud structure that resembles a well-packed jar, and possibly military slang, though this connection remains speculative.
Visually, JarHead produces medium-sized, conical buds with a dense structure typical of indica-dominant hybrids. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration with occasional purple hues that may appear under cooler growing conditions. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide contrasting accents. The strain's foliage tends to be dark green with broad leaves, reflecting its indica heritage.
JarHead is noted for its complex aromatic profile that combines earthy, piney notes with subtle citrus undertones. The flavor profile follows a similar pattern, with a smooth smoke that transitions from earthy pine to a slightly sweet, citrusy finish. The strain's effects are typically described as balanced, offering both cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation without overwhelming sedation. Due to its limited commercial availability, JarHead remains somewhat of a connoisseur's strain, primarily found in specific regional markets rather than widespread distribution.

JarHead Strain Growing Information
JarHead is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, better suited for experienced growers. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in mid to late October in northern hemisphere climates. Indoor yields are moderate, averaging 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers a controlled indoor environment but can adapt to outdoor growing in Mediterranean-like climates. Plants tend to remain medium in height (3-5 feet outdoors, 2-4 feet indoors) with a bushy structure that benefits from pruning and training techniques like topping or low-stress training. JarHead is somewhat sensitive to humidity and requires good air circulation to prevent mold, particularly during the flowering stage when buds become dense. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some growers reporting sensitivity to nitrogen during flowering.
