Jelly Rancher
Jelly Rancher
Also known as: Hella Jelly
Overview
Jelly Rancher is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain (30% indica, 70% sativa) developed by Humboldt Seed Company through a genetic cross between Very Cherry and Notorious THC. Originally known as Jelly Rancher, the strain was later rebranded as 'Hella Jelly' and was the winner of Humboldt Seed Company's 2019 Phenotype Mega-Hunt. The parent strain Very Cherry contributes tart, distinctly cherry-like characteristics and is notable for containing CBG, while Notorious THC provides moderate (~19%) THC content and helps ease chronic discomfort while inspiring euphoria.
This strain produces dense, pepper-shaped emerald-green nugs with golden undertones, furry orange hairs, and tiny golden-white trichomes, creating some of the most visually striking buds available. Jelly Rancher is famous for its unique, mouthwatering flavor profile that resembles biting into a ripe, juicy berry drizzled with citrus notes, featuring dominant flavors described as sweet and berry-like with fresh strawberries or ripe blackberries and bright-tasting citrus undertones. The strain flowers in 8 weeks with a stocky stem structure and short nodes, excelling in greenhouse and outdoor environments while developing beautifully in indoor grows, with early finishing times as short as 56–63 days indoors making it appealing to commercial cultivators.

Growing Information
Jelly Rancher flowers in 8 weeks with a stocky stem structure and short nodes, excelling in greenhouse and outdoor environments while developing beautifully in indoor grows. Even beginners can grow this strain very easily as it requires little fertilizer and produces brilliant scents within a very short time. Indoor yields of 450–600 g/m² (1-2 oz/ft²) are achievable under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants in full sun with proper support can exceed 900–1500 g per plant (10-15 oz/plant). The strain is ready for harvest in approximately eight to nine weeks after germination, taking 53-64 days to bloom. Hella Jelly is described as a vigorous hybrid that is easy to grow, particularly ideal for climates with earlier fall weather, requiring little fertilizer and effort to bring healthy plants to life.
