Of all the names one could pick for a cannabis, it has to be Jack.
A pretty common name, but as far as Critical Jack goes, its name is symbolic.
All this comes in the next section. Meanwhile, what can this balanced hybrid do?
Information about Critical Jack marijuana strain:
As bred, Critical Jack has equal parts of its Sativa and Indica sides. But in some instances, one may be a little higher, in which case it will lean towards more on the Sativa side.
From that alone, we know this weed delivers a great cerebral high. Even with an above average potency, this marijuana still leaves users clear headed.
Critical Jack is a cross between Critical Plus and Jack Herer, the latter named after the Emperor of Hemp.
For the uninitiated, Jack Herer is a pro-cannabis American activist.
He is also the author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, a book often cited by those espousing for the legal use of marijuana.
In the cannabis community, Jack is called the Emperor of Hemp. In his honor, the Jack Herer strain was named after him.
Fittingly, Jack Herer strain not only gained prominence due to its name but also because of its quality.
As a testament, it won the coveted overall prize in the 1994 High Times Cannabis Cup.
A few years later, it would also bag the top prize as the best Sativa in the world.
So, when it comes to pedigree, Critical Jack has a lot to live up to.
To the credit of the original breeder, it passed with flying colors as it has placed high in several competitions.
The journey to fame culminated in the 2015 San Bernardino Hempcon Cup when it won the top prize.

Growing
Considered as an easy to grow marijuana, Critical Jack thrives both in an outdoor and indoor environment.
When cultivated outdoor, this plant could grow as tall as 10 feet. With this in mind, growers should also consider if it could be a problem living with other people in the neighborhood.
At any rate, so as long as it is properly taken care of in a climate similar to the Mediterranean, then it should reward growers when its time to pick the buds.
Not everyone has the luxury of living in a house with an outdoor garden and that is why indoor gardening is becoming a thing.
Critical Jack thrives well in these conditions as well, especially when using hydroponics.
If so, then using the Screen of Green (ScrOG) method can aid in a more explosive growth.
Of course, it has to be topped and kept shorter depending on the indoor space available.
Flowering Time
Indoors
There is a lot to love about Critical Jack. It has great effects with not much of a downside.
It also has a pretty great scent and taste. Indoor growers should delight at the quick flowering stage that starts in as early as 8 weeks.
Even better, it also produces a whopping 21 ounces per square meters that should fill up those empty jars quickly.
Outdoors
Cultivating Critical Jack outdoor is also a great option. Sometime between the end of September and the early days of October, each plant has a yield of over 40 ounces.
