Jack Herer

Sensi&rsquo;s champagne of strains is named in honour of Jack Herer, author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes. Through tireless activism and his landmark book, Jack Herer can take most of the credit for reminding the world that cannabis in all its forms has always been one of humankind&rsquo;s most valuable resources, and that we can literally save the planet with hemp! After several years of breeding and stabilising, the Jack Herer strain was launched in 1994 during a ceremony in The Cannabis Castle. This was done in the presence of the most important figures in the cannabis industry and, of course, of the man himself, who triumphantly enjoyed this moment. The trait common to all Jack Herer phenotypes is a dazzling double-edged potency – a stratospheric cerebral high underpinned by a breathtaking body-buzz with seismic power. Smokers should be prepared to feel the earth shake beneath their feet – which can be a very pleasant feeling when your head is firmly in the clouds. HZ C male produced 5Hz1 which won a Cup or 2, this was a daughter of NL5 which won a cup. 5Hz1 when crossed with Sk1x HzC produced Silver Haze which won a Cup. Ben renamed it Jack Herrer. The original JackHerer cutting was a selected NL5xHzC X SK1HZC <i>High Times about the lineage: While Sensi say the exact lineage is a closely-guarded secret, it is accepted that Jack Herer is a 3-way hybrid of Skunk #1, Northern Lights #5 and Haze. The precise lineage is probably Haze x [Northern Lights #5 x ?Northern Lights #5 x Skunk #1?] which suggests that Sensi began by selecting a male from their NL5 x SK1 seedline ?AKA Shiva Skunk? and backcrossing him to the NL5 female cutting. As Sensi purchased Neville's breeding plants, they had both the Haze A and C males, so it is likely that they then chose a female NL5 x ?NL5xSK1? plant and pollinated it with one of the Haze males to create Jack Herer., this would make Jack 50% Haze, 37.5% NL5 and 12.5% SK1. This gives Jack Herer a similar composition to Super Silver Haze and Mango Haze which are 50% Haze, 25% NL5 and 25% SK1. </i>
