How to grow Fruity Jack
Taste
Seb's take
Bred from Respect #13 and a reversed Jack the Ripper male, this Sativa-leaning cross carries a distinct Haze character and genuine flavour depth. High-yielding with a sparse, prunable leaf structure, she demands generous nutrients to reach her full potential. A demanding plant, but one that pays her debts.
Where it comes from
Philosopher Seeds paired Respect #13 with a reversed Jack the Ripper male, a sativa phenotype of relatively short flowering that adds flavour, a dominant Haze effect, and useful stability to the cross. The Jack the Ripper parentage does the heavy lifting on both character and consistency, and the line reads 70% sativa. She carries a notable 11% CBD alongside her THC, which is more than most in this company can claim to bring to the table.
Nose & flavour
The record keeps her flavour notes to itself, though the reversed Jack the Ripper is credited with adding genuine flavour depth and a dominant Haze character to the cross. Expect that Haze influence to lead, sharp and lifted rather than sweet. What is documented is quality of aroma over any single named note, which is at least honest about what it can confirm.
The high
The effects follow the sativa lean and the Haze dominance the male parent lends, a bright, cerebral character rather than a heavy one. The record does not itemise the experience beyond that Haze influence, so take it as an uplifting, head-led affair with the 11% CBD lending a measure of balance beneath. A clear-running strain built on stable, well-chosen genetics.
Growing it
Ideal for both indoor and outdoor grows, flowering in 60 to 70 days. She is a strong plant with a sparse leaf structure that takes well to pruning, and the Jack the Ripper parentage lends good stability. Being predominantly sativa, the record recommends 9 to 16 plants per m² or a Sea of Green at 20 plants per m² if you flower straight away. Crucially, she is a heavy feeder and needs a high level of nutrients to reach her full potential. Yields run 450 to 600 g/m². Demanding, but she pays her debts.
