Critical Jack is a feminized hybrid strain with 60 % Sativa from Critical + x Jack Herer. The line combines high yields with a clear Haze effect. Critical mainly brings the yield, Jack Herer pushes the strain in the sativa-leaning direction.
The strain is known for its growth dynamics. Dynamic development, a lot of power in the structure, good flower mass and a growth pattern that is reminiscent of classic hybrids.
The growth of Critical Jack
Critical Jack grows tall, open and with noticeable stretch. The leaves turn out larger and longer than with compact indicas. Overall, the Haze direction is in the foreground.
The side branches keep up well, but the main branch remains dominant. Good air movement is useful at the end of the flowering time. Indoors, up to 625 g/m² are possible, outdoors up to 1200 g per plant. Outdoors, under good conditions, it can reach up to 3 meters.
Indoors, the flowering time is around 60 days. Outdoors, the harvest usually falls at late September to early October. Towards the end of flowering, it visibly gains again in resin and volume. The buds become firm even though the plant looks much more open at the beginning.
The effect of Critical Jack
The effect is head-heavy. Critical Jack makes you awake and active. Anyone looking for something to wind down will not be happy with this strain. The influence of Jack Herer is clearly noticeable and gives the high a euphoric kick.
The strain is intended for activities during the day and not for the late evening.
Smell and taste of Critical Jack
Aromatically, Critical Jack is on the spicy Haze side, but gets a fresher note from Critical. The profile contains cedarwood, incense, pine and spices, plus a lemon note.
In terms of taste, the spicy part stays first, then the fresh citrus note comes through more clearly afterwards. In addition, there is a slightly resinous taste that suits the strain well. The combination of Haze spice, wood, pine and lemon makes Critical Jack unique.
