What is the Jean Guy strain?
Jean Guy is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 32.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Jean Guy is a legendary Canadian cannabis strain that originated in Quebec in the early 2000s, when a mysterious plant was dropped off at the Montreal Compassion Center. The strain was named with a quintessentially French-Canadian moniker to honor its Quebec heritage. Widely believed to be a phenotype of the famous White Widow strain, Jean Guy has established itself as one of Canada's most celebrated cannabis varieties and notably became the first cannabis strain to be featured in the New York Times in August 2014. This sativa-dominant hybrid typically displays a 90:10 or 60:40 sativa-to-indica ratio depending on the phenotype. The strain is characterized by dark green leaves with blackish hues, frosted with an abundant coating of golden crystal trichomes that hide pastel-colored buds beneath. Jean Guy's visual appeal is further enhanced by its dense, resin-laden flower clusters and long orange pistils. The strain is renowned for its intensely cerebral and energizing effects, making it a preferred choice for daytime use and creative endeavors.
