I grew out a pack of Jack x Pine Skunk. I ended up with 4 females, which were flowered for 10 weeks.

They seemed quite slow in maturing glands and I didn't think it would do any harm to let them go till they looked ready.

The first female was grown a while ago, it didn't get very vigourous, and that may have been grower error, but it did produce some very frosty buds.

[Stonecutter]

The next batch of seeds gave another 3 females which were grown together. These were much more vigorous, all had a similar branchy structure with quite thin limbs.


No. 2

[Stonecutter]

These 3 all developed very good buds, there was some variation in yeild, with No.2 being the heaviest plant of all in that crop, with No. 3 giving a still good yeild, and 4 being the smallest.

[Stonecutter]

So they all seemed to have faint fruit/berry smells while flowering, I didn't detect much pine.

[Stonecutter]

They also needed support by the end of flowering due to fairly hefty buds but long slender branches.

[Stonecutter]

Not sure why some images seem to be rotated.

Anyway, now for the important part.

[Stonecutter]

The buds after drying were quite dense, with a large amount of resin. The glands seem particularly 'thick'.

All of the plants were very consistent in growth and the three later females all gave a similar effect.

When I vape these, they produce a quite gentle head high, also a fairly nice but light body high. Unfortuneately they all seemed to have an incredibly low 'ceiling' for me.

[Stonecutter]

I usually have a vape after checking plants in the evening, then a small joint later. So none of these Jack Pines really produced the kind of lethargic sleepy stone I was expecting.

The smells a light fruity skunky smell, that produces a fairly thick smoke. But the pine element is not very pronounced.

The fairly light high after having a small vape basket full didn't seem to be intensified much by having a joint of the same later.

The body high gives a nice glow, but the head high just doesn't have the kick to be much fun. It's kinda relaxing, but thats sort of all, quite a fuzzy but not too strong head.

In short, they are not very 'potent'.

So really I didn't enjoy this too much. I'm getting to the end of my last crop and what is mostly left are the Jack Pines.

It's ok, but I wouldn't grow it again,

I haven't seen any other detailed reviews of this cross, so I'd welcome anyone to post up their experiences.

Maybe I just got some outliers in this pack.

I greatly appreciate this report. Thank-you!

Tomorrow I will be starting a seed soak. I’ll begin with three of VG’s Pre-98 Bubba S1s. Give them a couple to three week head-start and then follow ‘em with a pack of Jack Pine; and also give one WOS freebie fem of Strawberry Blue a go - hopefully she pops.

Sounds like you got it for the same reasons I did: sleepy-time-day-ender stuff. And the idea of very piney smells... mmm... one of my favorites! So, not the best news, but we’ll see what I turn up.

I think the description said something about not being good for hash due to the large trichs. And also that early staking is a good thing, as you’re reporting. I take it the odor warning was unnecessary? I like the ones that fight the carbon filter! (And such a claim was made - even bought a new one in preperation.)

I’m still really looking forward to this run. It will kick off a search through six other selections looking for that sleepy-time winner. Something to keep around. (but there’ll be other boxes to tick too, other than just effect, so... could prove to be quite the search. )

Thanks again.

A bit disappointing to hear. I was really excited about the possibility of strong pine smells and flavours. I hope we hear that other have better results.
