What is the Purple Jack strain?
Purple Jack is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 26.0% THC, known for its uplifted effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
Purple Jack is a sativa-dominant hybrid created from the combination of two perennial favorites – Purple Kush and Jack Herer. While the exact balance of sativa to indica is somewhat of a mystery, Purple Jack likely has a fair amount of both gene types, since Purple Kush is a heavy indica and Jack Herer a heavy sativa. This strain likely emerged during the late-2000s era when two currents in West Coast cannabis converged: the enduring popularity of Jack Herer cuts and the market's enthusiasm for deep-purple phenotypes. Purple Jack reportedly brings together a fruity, sour hybrid that provides a high between mental vigor and a calming sense throughout the body. Enveloped by dark purple leaves, Purple Jack's buds are typically a dark green color with a heavy sugaring of kief. The strain exhibits classic characteristics from both parent lineages, displaying the energetic cerebral effects of Jack Herer balanced with the relaxing body high and purple coloration of Purple Kush. The result is a crowd-pleasing hybrid with broad appeal to both legacy consumers and curious newcomers.
