Jack is a modern, hybrid-sativa cultivar bred from Northern Lights #5 and Skunk No. 1. Developing over a moderate difficulty period of 60 days, this variety is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments. Growers can expect a high yield from this robust genetic pairing, which has served as a foundation for further breeding projects, including the notable cross of SSSDH x Jack.
The complex terpene profile of this strain is headlined by terpinolene, followed in descending order of dominance by caryophyllene, ocimene, myrcene, limonene, humulene, beta-pinene, pinene, alpha-terpinene, gamma-terpinene, linalool, nerolidol, eucalyptol, sabinene, bisabolol, and camphene. This broad spectrum of volatile compounds defines the nuanced sensory experience of the flowers, balancing the primary terpinolene with the subsequent spicy, floral, and pine-forward aromatic notes provided by the secondary and tertiary constituents.
As a THC-dominant hybrid-sativa, Jack is specifically recognized for its capacity to induce creative, uplifted, and euphoric effects. These characteristics make the strain a preferred choice for individuals seeking to enhance focus, facilitate social interaction, or stimulate creative output. Its influence on the broader cannabis landscape persists through its documented offspring, maintaining its utility for those requiring a balanced, mentally engaging experience.

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.
Antifungal, antiviral, decongestant; activates CB1/CB2 at 10–60% THC efficacy per Israeli receptor study (NORML 2025); highly volatile (bp 50–66°C); limited clinical data.
Effects
Reported effects — derived from terpene chemistry and cannabinoid profile.
creative
morningAssociated with terpinolene/limonene profiles; dopaminergic and serotonergic modulation via limonene 5-HT1A supports divergent thinking.
uplifted
morningLimonene anxiolytic/antidepressant via serotonin elevation in prefrontal cortex (Russo 2011); mood improvement without full euphoria; key for balanced-1-1 profiles.

Sativa-dominant
Primarily sativa with indica grounding. Uplifting with body relaxation.
THC-Dominant
High THC, trace CBD. Psychoactive. Full CB1 agonism — euphoria, appetite, analgesia.
