Jack Fruit
Jack Fruit
Also known as: Jackfruit, Jack Fruitz
Overview
Jack Fruit is a modern sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain prized for its tropical aromatics and uplifting effects that mirror its namesake fruit. The strain is a tropical-leaning hybrid prized for its bright, jackfruit-like aromatics and upbeat headspace, best understood as a member of the broader Jack Herer family tree paired with a tropical-fruit cultivar. The most commonly cited lineage for Jackfruit in dispensary descriptions is Jack Herer crossed with a tropical, citrus-heavy cultivar such as Grapefruit or Pineapple, with this pairing fitting the sensory data as Jack Herer's terpinolene-forward profile and energetic effects frequently combine well with Grapefruit's sweet-citrus esters. However, different breeders have created variations using different parent strains, with some versions crossing Jack Herer with Juicy Fruit or other tropical cultivars. One common version is a 70/30 Sativa dominant strain that creates an interesting cross between Grapefruit and Captain Jack while maintaining the best qualities of the parents. The strain typically exhibits dense, trichome-frosted flowers with vibrant lime-to-forest green hues and is valued for its vigorous vegetative growth and resin-rich colas that provide strong bag appeal.

Growing Information
The bushes of this marijuana strain can be grown both indoors and outdoors, and you can also use a greenhouse. In all cases, the flowering period is between 53 and 59 days, but the greatest yield is expected if you cultivate it outside. Indoor cultivation can yield over 500g of dry bud per m2 in about 60-70 days of flowering, while outdoor or greenhouse cultivation is ready to harvest during the first half of October, with a yield of more than 600g per plant cultivated in open ground with early season germination. Indoors, plants need lots of light and plenty of nutrients to produce a bountiful harvest, with plants having a stretchy sativa-dominant growth pattern. The strain is considered moderately difficult to grow due to its nutrient requirements and vigorous sativa growth characteristics.
