How to grow Jacky White
Taste
Seb's take
Jack Herer and White Widow united once more, this time under Paradise Seeds' hand, into a leafy, 75% Sativa hybrid that demands constant pruning for the privilege of growing her. Pungent citrus and tropical grapefruit on the nose; the high runs energetic, focused and euphoric. Tall, demanding, and worth the persistence.
Where it comes from
Paradise Seeds build Jacky White from Jack Herer and White Widow, the same celebrated pairing others have attempted, given their own house treatment. Seventy-five per cent sativa, leafy and tall, she carries Jack Herer's lift over White Widow's resin. A productive plant with a reputation for performing equally well indoors and out. The parents are famous; the execution is Paradise's own.
Nose & flavour
Pungent and sweet, with citrus and grapefruit sharpening the edges and a tropical note behind, a bright, zesty nose that does not travel discreetly. The grapefruit does much of the talking. Fresh and lively, in keeping with the sativa lean. Loud, but pleasantly so.
The high
Energetic and focused, euphoric and uplifted, a clean sativa head high that keeps the mind sharp rather than scattered. Happy throughout, and well suited to the daytime. At eighteen to twenty-two per cent THC there is substance beneath the brightness. A working sort of high, for those who like to stay useful.
Growing it
She flowers in sixty days for a solid 500 g/m², but she asks something in return: she grows tall and needs constant pruning to keep her in check, especially indoors. A Sea or Screen of Green tames the lateral branching nicely. Not a complicated plant, exactly, but one that rewards attention; a novice can manage her with persistence. Outdoors she wants warmth and plenty of light. Give her the headroom and the discipline, and she performs.
