Zwarte Jan
Also known as: Black Jack
What is the Zwarte Jan strain?
Zwarte Jan is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 18.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and lemon and pepper flavor profile.
Zwarte Jan is a rare slightly indica-dominant hybrid strain (60% indica/40% sativa) developed by Old Dutch Genetics through crossing Jack Herer with Black Domina. The strain originated from an accidental cross between these two legendary genetics, which was then refined through selective breeding. After selecting the right female from the initial cross, it was bred back to a Black Domina (Sensi) male, ultimately creating the stabilized Zwarte Jan line. Currently at F6 generation, this strain represents years of careful breeding work to produce a high-quality, consistent genetic line. The name 'Zwarte Jan' translates to 'Black John' in Dutch, reflecting its heritage from the Netherlands' cannabis breeding tradition.
Zwarte Jan produces dense, grape-shaped buds with dusty green coloration, prominent orange hairs, dark leaves, and a generous coating of frosty golden amber crystal trichomes. The strain exhibits classic sweet and sour lemony pepper flavors with pine undertones, while the aroma features a lemony pine overtone accented by harsh black pepper and spices. This carefully crafted hybrid offers a balanced experience that combines the cerebral stimulation of its Jack Herer lineage with the relaxing body effects inherited from Black Domina, making it appealing to both recreational and medical cannabis users.
