Jack Wreck
Jack Wreck
Also known as: Jackwreck
Overview
Jack Wreck is a heavily sativa-dominant hybrid (80% sativa/20% indica) strain created through a direct cross of two cannabis legends: Jack Herer and Trainwreck. Named after the cannabis activist and author Jack Herer, this strain inherits the cerebral clarity of its Jack Herer parent while incorporating the intense psychoactive punch characteristic of Trainwreck genetics. The strain emerged in cannabis circles as a clone-only variety, with various phenotypes circulating through caregiver and craft networks before becoming available in licensed dispensaries. Jack Wreck is prized for its quick-onset cerebral effects and distinctive citrus-pine aromatics.
The buds of Jack Wreck are typically dense and elongated, showcasing vibrant green coloration with golden and amber trichomes. Bright orange pistils twist throughout the flowers, which display generous resin coverage that often frosts sugar leaves and creates a crystalline appearance. The strain exhibits notable stretch during early flowering, commonly growing 1.5-2.0 times its vegetative height. Different phenotypes express varying characteristics, with Jack-leaning selections stretching more and finishing later, while Trainwreck-leaning cuts produce denser, chunkier buds with faster finishing times.

Growing Information
Jack Wreck is considered moderately challenging to grow, requiring some cultivation experience. The strain thrives in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring warm, sunny climates. Flowering time ranges from 8-11 weeks depending on phenotype, with Trainwreck-leaning plants finishing sooner (8-9 weeks) and Jack-leaning phenotypes running longer (9-11 weeks). Indoor yields typically range from 400-550 g/m² under optimized conditions with proper canopy management. Outdoor plants can produce 500-1,500 grams per plant in rich soil with adequate sun exposure. Harvest outdoors typically occurs in early to mid-October. The strain exhibits vigorous vertical growth during early flower, often stretching 1.5-2.0 times its vegetative height in the first 2-3 weeks of 12/12 light cycle. Environmental consistency and strong training techniques are essential for optimal results.
