About Jack Herer Automatic
Jack Herer Automatic seeds were developed by crossing three Sensi Seeds classics: Shiva Skunk, Haze, and Northern Lights #5. It is a 50% indica / 50% sativa hybrid, named after the Emperor of Hemp, Jack Herer. It is a medium-sized plant with a bushy appearance and large yields. The terpene profile features notes of spicy charas blended with earthy tones and fruity skunk flavours. Due to its autoflowering traits, it’s an easy-to-grow plant that thrives in temperate/continental climates.
Launched in 1994 during a ceremony at The Cannabis Castle, Jack Herer quickly gained a reputation for its outstanding characteristics. Its distinct flavour and aroma have made it a popular choice among cannabis enthusiasts worldwide, and this strain has won numerous awards, including multiple Cannabis Cups and Highlife Cups. Due to its potent effects and unique taste, the strain has been used as a parent plant for many popular genetics, and its influence can be seen in many hybrid strains such as Amnesia, Cinderella 99 and Apple Fritter
Jack Herer Automatic is a delightful cannabis strain that offers a unique blend of sweetness and captivating undertones. One of the advantages of Jack Herer Automatic seeds is their shorter growth cycle, which makes them quicker and easier to cultivate. They are also known for their XL yields, which make them a popular choice among growers who want to maximise their harvest. The buds are dense and resinous and have a unique terpene profile that is both sweet and earthy.
By incorporating Ruderalis genetics into Jack Herer’s original lineage, we have now created an autoflowering version, preserving the distinct qualities and enhancing the ease of cultivation. This allows this plant to flower independently without changing the lighting. Moreover, its robust characteristics make it possible for people living in continental and temperate climates to grow Jack Herer Auto. The terpene profile includes undertones of hashish and aniseed, with notes of fresh sandalwood.
Growth pattern of Jack Herer Automatic
Jack Herer Automatic has a sturdy structure with bushy foliage and tight internodal spacing. It can experience significant stretching during its flowering period of between 55 and 65 days. Indoors, Jack Herer Automatic can grow up to 120 cm and yield 275 to 325 grams per m2. Outdoors in temperate/continental climates, plants can easily exceed 120 cm, and growers can expect to harvest 300 to 350 grams or more per plant.
Jack Herer Automatic is a popular and well-known cannabis strain that many cannabis enthusiasts love. It produces dense, chunky buds with swollen calyxes, a heavy coating of trichomes, and beautiful colours on the leaves as they mature. This plant does not require a lot of attention and care, making it an excellent choice for those who are new to growing cannabis. However, experienced growers should note that Jack Herer Automatic is unsuitable for training techniques.
Effect, taste, and smell of Jack Herer Automatic
Jack Herer Automatic is known for its unique floral fragrance, which becomes more prominent as the buds are cured. High levels of caryophyllene and myrcene characterise the terpene profile of this strain. Regarding flavour, it offers a perfect balance of sweet and savoury notes with a slight earthiness and warm hints of sandalwood undertones, complemented by notes of pepper and spicy charas.
The high starts with a cerebral rush that boosts creativity, energy, and motivation, making it ideal for people who want to stay productive and focused. This initial rush is accompanied by a sense of euphoria that enhances mood and uplifts the spirit. As the high progresses, it transitions into a full-body buzz that provides complete relaxation to the body while still keeping the mind stimulated and inspired, making it a suitable strain to enjoy throughout the day.

germinated alright but growth was slow probably my fault as this is my first tiem
Super :)
Ich war echt gespannt auf das Ergebnis und wurde nicht enttäuscht.
Kein Titel
Alles geerntet und seit ein paar Tagen im Glas. Das Aroma hat sich mega entwickelt, sehr erdig mit Zitrusnoten.
Nice
I want it again, it's great, it's powerful!!!! Keep it up, Sensi Seeds. Thanks
OK
Hab die Samen spontan bestellt, ohne Plan. Dann einfach in BioBizz-Erde gesteckt und gegossen. Jetzt nach 3 Wochen sehen sie gut aus.
Thanks Jack
24-hour light cycle on these and they just went ham. Nonstop growth, no stress.
The seeds were good - the gardener was not
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Jack Herer – or: Four good seeds in the witness protection program against your own setup** Actually, House Jack Herer would have deserved a fair, sunny and worthy start this season. Instead, four good seeds ended up in a cultivation system that in retrospect I can only describe as a "wet-motivated wrong decision with external care". Since my neighbor's greenhouse gets significantly more sun than my own garden, I thought it would be a good idea to entrust him with four of my Jack Herer seeds. He was admitted. He was told how carefully to water in this phase. He knew that we were not talking about tomatoes here. At least that's what I thought. What I hadn't considered: You can explain everything to a person and yet he remains a tomato gardener at heart. When I checked the pots later, it was clear very quickly that no hemp seeds were grown there, but apparently an ambitious wetland biotope project was underway. The soil was not just moist. It wasn't even very wet. She had arrived at a stall where I briefly expected a small newt to wave to me from the pot soon. So my four Jacks were not in a lovingly prepared nursery, but rather in a kind of wet witness protection program with a pot rim. At this point I have to say very clearly: I think it is extremely unlikely that the seeds were the problem here. For me, this was clearly a setup problem – one with an announcement, watering can and tomato history. Because while Jack Herer apparently had to go through the experiment "How much water does a hemp seed need before it voluntarily joins the union?" in the neighboring greenhouse, the germination rate of my other varieties was excellent. Mighty Dwarf? Ran clean. Northern Lights? Also completely inconspicuous. And even Candy Apple, which I sowed in a moment of mental derangement as a winter variety in midsummer, showed more stability in the end than these four poor Jacks in their personal swamp area. That's exactly why I deliberately give 5 stars here – not because everything went perfectly with Jack Herer in this round, but because it's pretty clear to me that the semen quality wasn't the problem. If several other varieties start up without any problems and with a very good germination rate during the same season, then in my eyes this clearly speaks for the fact that Sensi Seeds has delivered good seeds here and that I have simply put Jack Herer in a setup that was about as hemp-friendly as rubber boots in the swimming pool. I will therefore definitely give Jack Herer another chance – but under conditions where I can be sure that the pots do not look as if they had tried to open a small carp pond with growing soil in them. **Conclusion:** I don't think Jack Herer has failed this season. I rather believe that I sent four good seeds into a cultivation concept that was somewhere between wetlands, tomato romance and grossly negligent watering optimism. I give the 5 stars expressly because the germination rate of my other varieties was excellent and for me everything indicates that it was not the seeds, but only the setup that screwed up. If this evaluation ends up empty-handed, I am at least left with the certainty that I have documented a completely avoidable cultivation debacle very thoroughly. In any case, the lesson from this story is clear: Jack Herer probably doesn't need special treatment. What Jack Herer certainly doesn't need, however, is a gardener who waters hemp seeds with the dedication of a man who has been successfully growing tomatoes for years. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Das Saatgut war gut - der Gärtner nicht
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **Jack Herer – oder: Vier gute Samen im Zeugenschutzprogramm gegen das eigene Setup** Eigentlich hätte Haus Jack Herer in dieser Saison einen fairen, sonnigen und würdigen Start verdient gehabt. Stattdessen landeten vier gute Samen in einem Aufzuchtsystem, das ich im Nachhinein nur noch als „feucht motivierte Fehlentscheidung mit Fremdbetreuung“ bezeichnen kann. Da das Gewächshaus meines Nachbarn deutlich mehr Sonne bekommt als mein eigener Garten, hielt ich es für eine gute Idee, ihm vier meiner Jack-Herer-Samen anzuvertrauen. Er wurde eingewiesen. Er bekam erklärt, wie vorsichtig man in dieser Phase gießt. Er wusste, dass wir hier nicht über Tomaten sprechen. Zumindest glaubte ich das. Was ich nicht bedacht hatte: Man kann einem Menschen alles erklären und trotzdem bleibt er im Herzen ein Tomatengärtner. Als ich die Töpfe später kontrollierte, war jedenfalls sehr schnell klar, dass dort keine Hanfsamen aufgezogen wurden, sondern offenbar ein ambitioniertes Feuchtbiotopprojekt lief. Die Erde war nicht einfach nur feucht. Sie war nicht einmal nur sehr feucht. Sie war auf einem Stand angekommen, bei dem ich kurz damit rechnete, dass mir demnächst ein kleiner Molch aus dem Topf zuwinkt. Meine vier Jacks lagen also nicht in einer liebevoll vorbereiteten Anzucht, sondern eher in einer Art nassem Zeugenschutzprogramm mit Topfrand. An dieser Stelle muss ich ganz klar sagen: Ich halte es für extrem unwahrscheinlich, dass die Samen hier das Problem waren. Für mich war das ganz eindeutig ein Setup-Problem – und zwar eines mit Ansage, Gießkanne und Tomaten-Vorgeschichte. Denn während Jack Herer im Nachbargewächshaus offenbar das Experiment „Wie viel Wasser braucht ein Hanfsamen, bis er freiwillig in die Gewerkschaft eintritt?“ durchlaufen musste, war die Keimrate meiner anderen Sorten hervorragend. Mighty Dwarf? Lief sauber. Northern Lights? Ebenfalls völlig unauffällig. Und selbst Candy Apple, die ich in einem Moment geistiger Umnachtung als Wintersorte im Hochsommer ausgesät habe, zeigte am Ende mehr Stabilität als diese vier armen Jacks in ihrem persönlichen Sumpfgebiet. Genau deshalb vergebe ich hier auch ganz bewusst 5 Sterne – nicht, weil bei Jack Herer in diesem Durchgang alles perfekt lief, sondern weil für mich ziemlich klar ist, dass die Samenqualität nicht das Problem war. Wenn mehrere andere Sorten unter derselben Saison bei mir problemlos und mit sehr guter Keimrate anlaufen, dann spricht das in meinen Augen deutlich dafür, dass Sensi Seeds hier gutes Saatgut geliefert hat und ich Jack Herer schlicht in ein Setup gesetzt habe, das ungefähr so hanffreundlich war wie Gummistiefel im Schwimmbad. Ich werde Jack Herer deshalb definitiv noch einmal eine neue Chance geben – allerdings unter Bedingungen, bei denen ich sicher sein kann, dass die Töpfe nicht aussehen, als hätte man versucht, darin einen kleinen Karpfenteich mit Anzuchterde zu eröffnen. **Fazit:** Ich glaube nicht, dass Jack Herer in dieser Saison versagt hat. Ich glaube eher, dass ich vier gute Samen in ein Aufzuchtkonzept geschickt habe, das gärtnerisch irgendwo zwischen Feuchtbiotop, Tomatenromantik und grob fahrlässigem Gießoptimismus lag. Die 5 Sterne vergebe ich deshalb ausdrücklich, weil die Keimrate meiner anderen Sorten hervorragend war und für mich alles darauf hindeutet, dass hier nicht die Samen, sondern einzig und allein das Setup verkackt hat. Sollte diese Bewertung am Ende leer ausgehen, bleibt mir immerhin die Gewissheit, ein vollkommen vermeidbares Anzuchtdebakel sehr gründlich dokumentiert zu haben. Die Lehre aus dieser Geschichte ist jedenfalls eindeutig: Jack Herer braucht wahrscheinlich keine Sonderbehandlung. Was Jack Herer aber ganz sicher nicht braucht, ist ein Gärtner, der Hanfsamen mit der Hingabe eines Mannes gießt, der seit Jahren erfolgreich Tomaten großzieht. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Jack Herrer Auto Only on the 2nd attempt
I received three seeds, all three of which did not germinate. I have always successfully carried out the kitchen towel procedure for years. Other seeds have also germinated. I then contacted customer service and was sent new seeds that germinated within 48 hours. Very nice customer service. About the strain: One of my favorite strains! The smell is limited, so that my neighbors (balcony) are not disturbed. Very beautiful plants, taste and effect are top for me as an occasional consumer. No couch lock, nice activating, fun high! Top recommendation for discreet cultivation for tripod friends.
Jack Herrer Auto Erst beim 2. Versuch
Habe drei Samen erhalten, die alle drei nicht gekeimt sind. Das Küchentuch Verfahren habe ich seit Jahren immer erfolgreich durchgeführt. Auch andere Samen sind gekeimt. Daraufhin habe ich den Kundenservice kontaktiert und mir wurden neue Samen zugesendet die innerhalb von 48 h gekeimt sind. Sehr netter Kundenservice. Über die Sorte: Einer meiner Lieblingsstrains! Der Geruch hält sich in Grenzen, so dass meine Nachbarn ( Balkon) nicht gestört werden. Sehr schöne Pflanzen, Geschmack und Wirkung sind für mich als Gelegenheitskonsument top. Kein Couch Lock, schön aktivierendes , lustiges High! Top Empfehlung für diskreten Anbau für Stativa Freunde.

Keimrate 0/4
What a pity. Since some of my friends have had good experiences, I decided to give Sensiseeds a try. The order was very pleasant (I had problems paying but I was helped quickly). The seeds arrived 3 working days after ordering and initially gave reason to rejoice, as I had apparently overlooked that this strain had a 3+1 offer. Unfortunately, the joy did not last long. Already while sowing I noticed that the seeds were smaller and somehow more fragile than I know. Despite the proven method (100% germination rate so far), none of the seeds have sprouted. As I said, it's a shame because I actually had a good feeling about Sensiseeds. I probably got old seeds in the 3+1 version. A bonus star for the positive sides of this experience
Keimrate 0/4
Schade. Da einige meiner Freunde gute Erfahrungen gemacht haben, habe ich mich entschieden Sensiseeds auch mal auszuprobieren. Die Bestellung war sehr angenehm (ich hatte Probleme beim Bezahlen aber mir wurde schnell geholfen). Die Samen kamen 3 Werktage nach der Bestellung und lieferten zunächst Grund zu Freude, da ich scheinbar übersehen hatte, dass diese Sorte ein 3+1 Angebot hatte. Leider hielt die Freude nicht lange an. Schon beim Säen fiel mir auf, dass die Samen kleiner und irgendwie fragiler waren als ich es kenne. Trotz bewährter Methode (bisher 100% Keimrate) ist keiner der Samen aufgegangen. Wie gesagt, sehr schade da ich eigentlich ein gutes Gefühl mit Sensiseeds hatte. Vermutlich habe ich bei der 3+1 Version alte Samen erwischt. Einen Bonusstern für die positiven Seiten dieser Erfahrung

Unfortunately, the seeds didn't germinate
I bought four seeds of this strain and tried to germinate two of them using the paper towel method. Two Skunk seeds, which I treated the same way, had roots the very next day. I threw away the seeds of this strain after nine days because they hadn’t germinated.
