Light of Jah
Also known as: LoJ, Light of Jah (Jack Herer), Jah Light
Overview
Light of Jah is a sativa-dominant hybrid cannabis strain with a fascinating and somewhat mysterious genetic lineage that traces back to the legendary Jack Herer strain. Named after renowned cannabis activist and author Jack Herer, this strain stands as a tribute to his tireless efforts advocating for cannabis legalization and its benefits. The strain emerged in the 1990s through careful breeding, with its origins being hotly debated among cannabis connoisseurs - some believe it's a phenotype of Jack Herer alone, while others maintain it's a hybrid cross between Jack Herer and an unknown Afghani strain.
The strain exhibits a 75% sativa and 25% indica genetic composition, offering an authentic sativa consumption experience with uplifting, energizing, and euphoric effects balanced by the indica influence that provides soothing full-body sensations. Light of Jah has become a multiple Cannabis Cup winner and is highly regarded among cannabis enthusiasts for its potent cerebral effects and distinctive characteristics. The buds are dense and dark forest green with sparse furry amber hairs and bright trichomes, covered in a thick layer of resin that signals its high potency and quality.

Growing Information
Light of Jah is considered moderate to difficult to grow, requiring experience and attention throughout cultivation. The strain prefers warm, semi-humid climates and can be grown both indoors and outdoors. Indoor flowering time ranges from 8-13 weeks (most commonly 8-10 weeks), with yields of 400-700g per square meter. Outdoor cultivation produces higher yields of 500-700g per plant, with harvest typically occurring in late September to early October. The plant grows tall (up to 100cm indoors, 2-4m outdoors) and requires height management techniques like topping, LST, or SCROG methods. It needs proper ventilation, temperature control (68-77°F), and humidity management (40-50% during flowering). The strain responds well to training techniques and requires support for its thin stems and branches.
