How to Grow Jack Herer Seeds

To begin germinating Jack Herer seeds, place the seeds between a damp paper towel and put them in a warm, dark area. The seeds will sprout within a few days, showing tiny white taproots. The key is to maintain a stable, warm temperature, ideally between 70-85°F (21-29°C), which helps speed up germination. Once the taproots reach about a quarter of an inch (0.6 cm) in length, transfer them into small pots and place them in a well-lit environment.

Where It Grows Best

Jack Herer cannabis typically grows best in a warm climate. This strain thrives outdoors in places with long, sunny days and mild, consistent temperatures. Whether grown indoors or outdoors, Jack Herer benefits from a well-drained, nutrient-rich soil or hydroponic systems that allow the roots to get plenty of  oxygen. A combination of good airflow, consistent watering, and proper feeding ensures the plants stay healthy.

Temp and Humidity

Jack Herer thrive best in a controlled environment where the temperature and humidity are carefully managed. For the best growth, keep the temperature between 70°F to 80°F (21°C to 27°C) during the day. At night, temperatures can drop slightly, but it’s best not to let them fall below 60°F (16°C).

The humidity should be kept relatively high, around 60% to 70% during the seedling and vegetative phases. As your Jack Herer plant move into the flowering stage, lower the humidity to about 40% to 50%. This prevents mold and mildew from forming on the buds.

Grow Lights

Jack Herer is a balanced hybrid that thrives with plenty of light. For indoor growing, use LED lights that provide full-spectrum light. Another great option when growing the Jack Herer strain is the High-Pressure Sodium (HPS) lights, especially during the flowering stage. Fluorescent lights like T5s can also be used during the seedling and vegetative stages. No matter the type of light, maintaining a consistent light schedule, about 18 hours of light in the vegetative stage and 12 hours during the flowering stage is important for the best results with Jack Herer.

Harvest

This strain typically reaches harvest time around 8 to 10 weeks of flowering when grown indoors. Outdoor growers can expect to harvest in late September to early October. The perfect time to harvest is when the trichomes on the buds turn milky white with a few amber ones. Snip the branches and hang them upside down in a dark, cool area with good airflow. The drying process takes about 7 to 10 days. Once dried, place the buds in airtight jars for at least two weeks for the curing process.
