Information about Emerald Jack:
On its name, it is actually a play on its parents, both of which happens to be among the most popular ones. For strains to have a following, they must have something unique or extraordinary. Such is the case of Jack Herer and Emerald OG.
Emerald Jack has a dominant Sativa side, no doubt, an influence of Jack Herer. It is a multi-awarded strain that delivers intense cerebral effects as well as producing heavy resins.
On the other hand, Emerald Jack inherited its Indica side from Emerald OG, known for its ability to induce deep relaxation.
By combining the genetics of both parents, the breeder Emerald Triangle hopes to take the best traits and pass it on to the offspring. The result is a 70% Sativa hybrid that has a THC content of 20% to 24%.
