Join us for this week’s review, featuring the Apple Jack strain (Jack Herer X White Widow).
Strain Summary
The Apple Jack strain is a sativa-dominant hybrid, a blend of White Widow and Jack Herer, known for its uplifting effects and delightful apple aroma. With THC levels between 18% and 19.75% and CBD content from 0.32% to 0.59%, it offers a balanced experience of energizing sativa effects combined with the relaxing qualities of indica. Its flavour profile is complex, with the smoke being peppery and sweet, accompanied by notes of skunk and earth, reflecting its unique genetic heritage.
The strain induces a state of happy euphoria, enhancing creativity and focus, making it popular for daytime use to accomplish tasks followed by relaxation. While it is primarily sought after for recreational use due to its high THC and low CBD levels, Apple Jack also has potential medicinal benefits, particularly in managing mood disorders, stress, and depression. Its low CBD content, however, means it may not be the best option for treating chronic pain.
Cultivating Apple Jack can be moderately challenging, requiring some experience to achieve optimal yields. It flowers within 56 to 63 days and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, with plants reaching a moderate height. The strain is more commonly found in bud form on legal markets, with seeds being less accessible.
Apple Jack’s terpene profile includes carene, pinene, myrcene, and camphene, contributing to its distinctive aroma and therapeutic properties. Despite its moderate grow difficulty, it offers rewarding yields and a unique flavour that makes it a cherished choice among cannabis connoisseurs looking for a blend of invigorating and calming effects.
Tyler Green’s thoughts on the Apple Jack cannabis strain
Appearance
This sample of Apple Jack looks great – it’s compact and dense, with a strong green colour that is made a little bit more white by a blanket of trichomes.
The pistils look vibrant but are tucked away in the bud instead of protruding. The shape of the bud is not uniform, with several nodules poking out.
Smell
This sample smells great! Apple Jack captures a fruity and slightly musky, pungent scent, with a delicious after smell reminiscent to me of well-cured bud.
I love the smell of this strain – at a push, I’d say the smell is closer to Jack Herer than White Widow – this sample certainly smells a lot nicer than some of the white widow I’ve previously enjoyed.
Taste
This has a lot of flavour – hitting it through my bong I immediately get the taste of the strain – I can see now why it’s called Apple Jack, it certainly has a fruity undertone.
The flavour of this strain left me impressed and wanting a second hit, I love the taste of this one and I am happy it doesn’t get lost through the bong.
Effects
This strain hit me quite hard, as you’ll no doubt see from the video, but how does it make me feel?
The hybrid effects are apparent shortly after the hit, with a high that fades into a beautiful combination that in my opinion encapsulates the best of both Jack Herer and White Widow.
A lovely warm stoned feeling washes over you after consumption – the sort of feeling that I really enjoy!
Overall
I had fun reviewing this sample of Apple Jack – it gets top marks from me in all areas – appearance, smell, taste and effects, giving it top marks overall. I would like to try some UK-grown Apple Jack and see how it compares to this imported batch.
