Regular Seeds

This Jack Herer strain being discussed here is a regular strain, meaning the seeds are not feminized nor are they autoflowering. Autoflowering seeds are ones that are not photosensitive, meaning they will enter their flowering phase when their internal clock is ready rather than when the light changes. Regular seeds, on the other hand, enter the flowering phase when the amount of uninterrupted darkness at night surpasses a certain number of hours, signaling the changing of the seasons.

Feminized seeds, on the other hand, produce all female plants. Normal seeds (like these Jack Herer seeds) are likely going to be about half male and half female. For that reason, it’s a good idea to purchase and plant a few extra seeds, since you’re going to want to get rid of the males once you can identify them (unless you’re trying to breed new seeds).

Origin of Jack Herer Strain

The Jack Herer strain originated in the 1990s in the Netherlands. It was created intentionally to be a medical strain of marijuana, using the Haze (Sativa) hybrid as well as Shiva Skunk and Northern Lights #5 (Indicas).

It was created as a tribute to Jack Herer for his best-selling book as well as all his work doing research and advocacy for the legalization of marijuana as an industry.
