Critical Jack Herer is a feminised strain with a sativa-leaning heritage, bred from Critical Mass crossed with Jack Herer. Its very early-flowering parent gave rise to a homogenous line that shows mainly Jack Herer traits. Plants are hardy and branch out abundantly, with delicate, narrow leaves typical of sativa types. Flowering takes 60 to 70 days, and the compact, productive plants suit outdoor gardens and greenhouses especially well, though they also perform indoors. The buds release aromas of menthol, pepper and church incense, with a noticeable odour that rises once the flowers are crumbled. On the palate expect a bittersweet profile with a sharp lemon finish, plus hints of incense and fine hardwood. The effect is balanced: it avoids heavy tiredness while offering a clear, cerebral lift. It suits daytime tasks, relaxed chatting or winding down in a quiet space, and it is equally at home at any hour.
