Jack Herer
[Sensi Seeds]
Sativa / Indica
Origins - Secret Haze x Red Skunk
Flowering - 60-70 days
Harvest - Mid October
Named for beloved pot author and activist, Sensi's Jack Herrer is truly one of the top hybrids ever created at the Cannabis Castle. The goal was to make a 50 percent Haze cross that kept the properties of this top-rated sativa, while shortening the painful 6 month flowering time that a full-blooded
Haze demands.
This variety's long-fingered leaves and dense, grape-cluster bud formations appear light green due to the frosty resin coating. The few hairs on the buds turn brick red as the plant matures. The smell is fresh with a signature Haze accent and a pleasin hint of skunkiness.Since the rooted clones can go directly into flowering, the total number of light hours in the life cycle is almost exactly the same as a conventional indica-heavy cross, even though the flowering cycle is longer.
If growing in soil, full ground is recommended over pots, which are usually too small. Dry climates, like Spain and California, are Jack Herrer's only reasonble candidates for an outdoor home. Growing Jack indoors is necessary in most parts of the world. Hydroponics will give quick satisfying results, but Jack Herrer is best grown as bigger plants.
A longer-flowering cross can be unnerving to grow, but bravery and patience will be rewarded with fresh peppery buds that produce an immediate cerebral, up high. Don't cave to the temptation to harvest too early. When allowed its full time to ripen, Jack Herrer is a tasty smoke with mild lung expansion and possibly visually enhancing or silly effects.
Winner, High Times Cannabis Cup 1995.
Nebula
[Paradise Seeds]
Sativa / Indica
Origins -
White Widow x potent father
Flowering - 60-65 days
Harvest - Late October
Nebula means starclound. Bred by Paradise Seeds in 1996, this variety received the name for its stellar qualitites. Nebula has an open structure that is excellent for indoor farming where the plants perform with optimal results in a sea-of-green setup. Using 20 plants per square meter in this system, yields can be as high as a half-kilo. Not too finicky, Nebula will do well in hydro, coco, or soil indoors. This variety has been successfully grown outdoors in Holland and would an appropriate choice for outdoor gardens in temperate zones that offer a 9 week minimum flowering time before the first frost.
Nebula stretches slightly, but produces obesely fat buds when placed under lots of light. Like the name suggests, Nebula twinkles with the coating of THC glands, which are bound to take you into the realm of space - or possibly just make you spacy. The buzz is transcendental and cerebral, sometimes bordering on the psychedelic. Nebula may earn the nickname "honey pot" for it's sweet smell and distinctively honeyed fruit flavor. This variety is a fun tasty smoke, even for the veteran stoner.
