How to grow Original Auto Jack Herer
Taste
Seb's take
An autoflowering take on the famously clear-headed Jack Herer, spice, pepper and fruit on the nose ahead of a focused, euphoric, creative high. Fast Buds have made a strain once demanding of skill into something considerably easier to grow. The energy is the point, and it delivers.
Where it comes from
Fast Buds set out to make the famously demanding Jack Herer a breeze to grow, and this automatic is the result. Jack Herer is the pedigree that matters, a world-renowned sativa-leaning strain named for the cannabis writer and campaigner, and the ruderalis half simply makes it self-timing and forgiving. What was once a plant for the practised becomes, here, one almost anyone can manage. The celebrated character carried onto an easy schedule, with little lost in the translation.
Nose & flavour
Spice and pepper to lead, a warm, savoury nose with real bite, lifted by a fruit note behind it. It carries the distinctive, slightly peppery Jack Herer character plainly, sharp and aromatic rather than sweet. A complex, grown-up aroma that rewards attention, the fruit rounding off the spice on the exhale. Forthright company, and true to the celebrated line.
The high
Focused, euphoric and creative, the clear-headed, energetic high that made Jack Herer a household name. At 21% THC it has substance behind the clarity, but the character stays bright and workable rather than sedating, well suited to hours you mean to fill. A boost of focused energy, as the record has it. Good company for creative work, and faithful to the sativa-leaning original it descends from.
Growing it
A compact-to-medium automatic, 70 to 110cm, finishing flower in around 63 days, a far easier proposition than the photoperiod Jack Herer it descends from. Indoor yields sit in the 400 to 500 g/m² band, with a CBD content under 1%. The whole point of this version is accessibility: Fast Buds have taken a strain once demanding of skill and made it forgiving of enthusiasm. Quick, manageable and rewarding, it brings a celebrated name within easy reach. Sound work all round.
