Jilly Bean: A Candy Coated Cerebral Ride

Jilly Bean, when grown to completion, is a short yet stout plant with massive buds dusted in a white crystally resin.

This west coast native has been hugely successful with a mantle covered in coveted awards. Most notably the strain has won the High Times Top Ten in 2007, High Times Best Sativa in 2014 and also won first place at the Adam Dunn Show Invitational in 2018. With a resume like that its no secret why Jilly Bean is so popular among cannabis fans. It is also a routine pick for growers of different experience levels. The low-maintenance, beginner friendly strain features a relatively short harvest time with solid yields to show for your effort.

Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Growing Jilly Bean is as easy as following a recipe for your favorite dish. Despite the plants short stature, you’ll find that it produces dense, resin-rich buds with vibrant hues of burgundy and orange even when grown in cooler temperatures. Perfect for outdoor grows because of the plants size, you can easily set aside space in a greenhouse or outdoor garden as long as the plant receives plenty of sunlight and fresh air. Indoors, the strain is less “hands on” than other fussy strains. Make sure you allow for your grow lights to hit every level of this growing plant because the thicker, dense buds tend to be closer to the soil.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Jilly Bean grows well indoors and outdoors with it needing minimal space to grow to completion. The ideal temperature for these plants is between 68-80 degrees fahrenheit. The plants need 12-14 hours of light per day to promote healthy growth which will mimic normal patterns of outdoor sunlight.
•  Moisture control: The Jilly Bean strain requires humidity levels between 40-50% during the initial vegetative phase and holding at around 40% during the flowering stage.
• Training Techniques: Jilly Bean plants respond to Low-stress training as well as Screen of Green training techniques. Both techniques improve airflow, light penetration and overall yields come harvest time. The idea is to keep the canopy open so that light can hit every level of the plant promoting an even grow all the way to the soil.

Yields, Flowering Time and Harvest

• Flowering Time: With indoor grows you can expect the Jilly Bean strain to harvest after a flowering stage of 60-70 days. Outdoor growers should anticipate harvesting in late-September.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 200 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 350 grams per plant. Because of the plants small stature you can actually plant more seeds and grow more plants in a smaller area ultimately increasing your yield per square foot.

Dominant Terpenes in Jilly Bean: Fruity and Sweet

The Jilly Bean terpene profile is directly responsible for how the plant smells, tastes and the strong effects it has on its users. The most dominant terpene in this strain is caryophyllene, while terpinolene, and valencene are the secondary terpenes.

• Caryophyllene: Most Dominant – Often associated with a spicy aroma. The only cannabis terpene known to act as a cannabinoid.
• Valencene: Secondary Terpene – Citrus scent and flavor profiles. Produces euphoria, mood elevation and alertness
• Terpinolene: Floral and Citrus Notes – Plays a key role in defining the taste and smell in cannabis plants.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Jilly Bean:

Cannabinoids, although present in the background, play an important role in Jilly Bean seeds and are generally a huge part of cannabis strains. That uplifted, euphoric, creative and energetic feeling you get when using Jilly Bean is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something a little different.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 18%, the THC in the Sativa-dominant hybrid is responsible for how focused, energetic and uplifted you feel after using.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Jilly Bean are around 1% the cannabinoid is still present. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, focus and even stress. The CBD in the Jilly Bean strain, even in its low amounts definitely has a positive effect on the user.
