Purple Jack
Purple Jack
Also known as: Purple Jack Herer, PurpJ
Overview
Purple Jack is a sativa-dominant hybrid created from the combination of two perennial favorites – Purple Kush and Jack Herer. While the exact balance of sativa to indica is somewhat of a mystery, Purple Jack likely has a fair amount of both gene types, since Purple Kush is a heavy indica and Jack Herer a heavy sativa. This strain likely emerged during the late-2000s era when two currents in West Coast cannabis converged: the enduring popularity of Jack Herer cuts and the market's enthusiasm for deep-purple phenotypes. Purple Jack reportedly brings together a fruity, sour hybrid that provides a high between mental vigor and a calming sense throughout the body. Enveloped by dark purple leaves, Purple Jack's buds are typically a dark green color with a heavy sugaring of kief. The strain exhibits classic characteristics from both parent lineages, displaying the energetic cerebral effects of Jack Herer balanced with the relaxing body high and purple coloration of Purple Kush. The result is a crowd-pleasing hybrid with broad appeal to both legacy consumers and curious newcomers.

Growing Information
Purple Jack has a flowering time of 8 to 9 weeks when grown indoors and should be ready for harvest around mid to late October when grown outdoors. This is an easy-to-grow hybrid that develops into medium-sized, structurally-sound plants. The strain prefers warmer temperatures, producing higher yields in outdoor gardens. Indoor cultivation can yield an estimated 15 ounces per square meter, while outdoor growing can produce around 19 ounces of bud per plant. Purple Jack's hybrid genetics contribute to a balanced growth pattern, exhibiting both sativa and indica traits, which can result in a bushy plant with a moderate height. To achieve the best results, growers should maintain a stable environment with proper lighting, temperature, and humidity control, along with regular feeding and pruning to promote healthy growth and maximize yield. This strain likes to be kept in a warm and dry outdoor spot, where it can flower to its full potential.
