New Jack City
Also known as: NJC
New Jack City Strain Overview
New Jack City is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that emerged in the early 2000s, gaining popularity in the West Coast cannabis scene. The strain's name references the 1991 crime drama film of the same name, though the exact connection between the strain and the film remains unclear. Breeders developed this strain by crossing two notable West Coast varieties, creating a plant that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation.
The strain produces medium to large-sized buds with a dense, resinous structure typical of modern hybrids. The flowers display a vibrant green color with occasional purple hues that emerge under cooler growing conditions. Orange pistils weave through the buds, while a thick coating of trichomes gives the flowers a frosty appearance. The visual appeal is complemented by a complex aromatic profile that makes this strain distinctive among hybrids.
New Jack City has maintained a consistent presence in certain regional markets, particularly in California and Colorado, though it hasn't achieved widespread commercial distribution. The strain's balanced effects and complex flavor profile have earned it a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its nuanced characteristics. While not as widely documented as some mainstream strains, New Jack City represents an interesting example of early 2000s hybrid development on the West Coast.

New Jack City Strain Growing Information
New Jack City is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, making it better suited for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors and are ready for harvest by mid-October outdoors. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions.
The strain adapts well to both indoor and outdoor growing environments but thrives in controlled indoor settings where temperature and humidity can be carefully managed. Plants tend to reach a medium height of 4-5 feet indoors and 5-7 feet outdoors. New Jack City responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
Special considerations include maintaining proper airflow to prevent mold in the dense buds and monitoring nutrient levels carefully, as this strain can be sensitive to overfeeding. The plants benefit from a consistent light schedule during flowering and perform best in temperate climates with stable conditions when grown outdoors.
