Candy Jack
Also known as: J1, CJ
Candy Jack Strain Overview
Candy Jack is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain that originated from crossing Jack Herer and Skunk #1, with some sources indicating Cotton Candy may have also contributed to its genetics. The strain is actually a phenotype of the J1 strain that took second place at the first US Cannabis Cup in Denver. Through selective breeding, Candy Jack was specifically developed for its exceptionally sweet smoke.
The strain's appearance is characterized by medium to large, densely packed buds with a light green hue accented by vibrant orange hairs and covered with copious trichomes. At a glance, the Candy Jack cannabis strain's nugs can resemble your favorite childhood lemon drop. Candy Jack boasts an exceptionally high THC content that can reach up to 27%, making it one of the most potent strains available.
The strain's effects combine the best of both parent strains, offering energetic, uplifting, and cerebral effects that promote creativity, focus, and euphoria. The result is a blissful sativa dominance that doesn't overpower the system, giving a tingle of energy that's restrained and controlled. Its flavor profile is notably complex, featuring sweet, fruity flavors with hints of citrus and earth, with one Cannabis Cup judge remarking that it truly tasted like candy.
