Blackjack is a modern, hybrid strain derived from the genetics of Jock Horror. This development represents a focused breeding effort to produce a high-yielding, versatile plant suitable for a broad spectrum of cultivation environments. Growers can expect a plant that reaches maturity after a 70-day flowering period; while the strain is categorized as having a moderate cultivation difficulty, it is documented for its capacity to provide high yields in both indoor and outdoor settings.
The chemical profile of Blackjack is defined by a complex synthesis of terpenes, led by a dominant concentration of terpinolene, followed by caryophyllene, myrcene, beta-pinene, humulene, pinene, bisabolol, limonene, and linalool. This specific terpene hierarchy dictates the organoleptic properties of the plant, delivering a nuanced sensory experience derived from the interaction between these volatile aromatic compounds.
As a THC-dominant hybrid with 22.7% THC and 0.02% CBD, Blackjack is utilized primarily for its capacity to induce effects that are consistently described as relaxed, happy, and uplifted. These therapeutic properties make the strain a functional choice for individuals seeking support for stress, pain, and sleep-related concerns. The influence of Blackjack on the broader cannabis landscape is solidified by its role in further breeding, most notably as the parent of the offspring known as Big Jack.

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.
