Jack Herer Auto

Description

Parent lines and genetic origin

Jack Herer is one of the most recognisable names in the international seed catalogue. It is associated with a hybrid of marked Haze component built on sativa lines crossed with indica material, which reached European banks and established itself as a reference for that aromatic register. The name pays tribute to the American activist of the same name, and the Haze profile is what identifies the whole family.

The data for this automatic version declares a cross of Ruderalis × Jack Herer: it has been obtained from the feminized phenotype of our own Jack Herer, with very few differences between the two. The contribution of Cannabis ruderalis, the short-cycle subspecies adapted to high latitudes, is what turns the strain into an autoflowering one. In a photoperiod plant, flowering starts when the photoperiod changes; here the move from growth to flowering depends on the age of the plant.

The Trikoma version comes from our own mother plants, selected and maintained at our bank in Barcelona. We work on our own parent lines and we do not distribute genetic material from third parties: what this page describes is our selection of Jack Herer Auto, not that of any other bank.

Jack Herer Auto technical data

• Genetics: Ruderalis × Jack Herer
• Type: autoflowering, feminized
• Declared THC (catalogue data): 14–19%
• Aroma: unmistakable Haze
• Formats: 6, 100 and 1,000 seeds

The percentages are ranges declared by the bank for its parent lines. The result varies between phenotypes and conditions: these are catalogue data to identify and compare strains, not a guarantee of result or an indication of use.

What makes this strain recognisable

The aroma declared on the page is unmistakable Haze, and that term describes a very specific register: spicy and with an incense background, far from both the sweet, fruity lines and the earthy indicas. It is a penetrating and persistent profile, one of those that is identified without needing to compare it with anything.

In structure it keeps the bearing of the line of origin: the data points to very few differences between this automatic version and the feminized phenotype it comes from. The Haze component also shows in the plant, with elongated spikes that are somewhat airier than the dense, concentrated flowers of the indica lines in the range.

As in any seed population there is variation between phenotypes: these traits describe the average of the selection, not a particular specimen.

How it fits within the catalogue

• Jack Herer feminized: the photoperiod version of the same line, and the phenotype this automatic one starts from. Same lineage and same Haze aroma, but it enters flowering when the photoperiod changes and not by age.
• Wendy Auto: the other Haze autoflowering in the catalogue, with 15–20% declared THC against the 14–19% of this one.
• Northern Lights Auto: the indica counterpoint within the autoflowering strains, with an earthy and pine profile and a low bearing, against the Haze register of Jack Herer Auto.

Other versions of Jack Herer

Jack Herer is available in two versions within the catalogue: the photoperiod Jack Herer feminized and this Jack Herer Auto. There is no fast version of this line. You can browse the rest in autoflowering seeds.

About the large formats

In addition to the 6-seed pack, Jack Herer Auto is offered in packs of 100 and 1,000 seeds. They are single-strain packs, with no mixes: all the seeds come from the same selection of mother plants as the small format, so what changes is the quantity and not the genetic material.

The difference is in the price per seed, which drops from €3.33 in the small format to €2.40 in the 100-seed pack and to €1.20 in the 1,000-seed one. The whole catalogue in these formats is in bulk seeds.

Frequently asked questions about Jack Herer Auto

How does it differ from Jack Herer feminized?

In what triggers flowering. The feminized one is photoperiod and changes phase when the photoperiod changes. Jack Herer Auto carries ruderalis in its cross, so the change depends on the age of the plant. In everything else, the data points to very few differences between the two.

What does it mean that its aroma is “Haze”?

Haze is a specific aromatic register, inherited from the sativa component of the family: spicy, with an incense background and a penetrating edge that resembles neither the fruity sweetness nor the earth of the indica lines. In this catalogue only Jack Herer Auto and Wendy Auto share it.

What does the declared THC of 14–19% mean?

It is the range the bank declares for its parent lines, not a measurement of each seed. It serves to place the strain against others in the catalogue and compare them with each other.
