Black Jack is a modern hybrid strain derived from its parent, Jack Herer. Designed to balance the legacy of its predecessor, it serves as a high-yielding variety suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The plant reaches maturity after a 60-day flowering cycle and maintains a moderate difficulty level for growers, consistently producing substantial yields. Its reputation as a steady producer in diverse environments has made it a foundational plant for creating notable offspring, including Sweet Cheese.
The chemical profile of Black Jack is led by caryophyllene, followed by linalool, myrcene, limonene, beta-pinene, humulene, and pinene. This bouquet is defined by these compounds, which combine to influence the strain's sensory profile and its interaction with the consumer.
As a THC-dominant hybrid with 21.7% THC and 0.05% CBD, Black Jack is recognized for its capacity to induce effects described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These properties make it a viable option for users seeking assistance with stress, pain, and sleep management. By facilitating both a mood elevation and a physical sense of calm, the strain bridges the gap between functional daytime clarity and evening relaxation. Its genetic influence persists in modern breeding programs, primarily through its documented role in the lineage of the offspring Sweet Cheese.

Russo 2011: only terpene that is a selective full CB2 agonist (100 nM); Gertsch et al. 2008: acts as dietary cannabinoid; unique anti-inflammatory and gastric cytoprotective properties.
Russo 2011: local anesthetic equal to procaine; anticonvulsant via glutamate/GABA modulation; reduces morphine tolerance via multisite opioid/GABAergic/cannabinoid action.
Russo 2011: naloxone-sensitive analgesia, potentiates barbiturate sleep; dominant sedating terpenoid; blocks hepatic carcinogenesis by aflatoxin.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
relaxed
eveningPrimary endpoint of myrcene+linalool sedating combinations; GABA modulation is the dominant mechanistic driver.
