Since there are lots of variations of Jack Herer seeds on the market, your growing experience may vary. However, you can generally expect a pretty average difficulty level from this strain. It’s not particularly sensitive, but it also needs lots of light and a careful hand to ensure it grows as big and strong as possible.
Jack Herer prefers warm, sunny, and dry climates. As a sativa-dominant strain, it tends to grow tall and large, so make sure you leave plenty of space for ventilation. Likewise, this strain does best when it’s not confined to small spaces, so opt for larger planters or plant directly in the soil instead of in pots. Expect to see average yields after about 50 to 70 days for indoor growth and during the late fall (October) for outdoor growth.
