Sensi Seed Bank
Sensi Seed Bank has delivered many classic breeds to the
marketplace including the beloved Jack Herer strain. The
original Jack Flash strain was derived from Jack Herer genetics
and possessed some of its qualities, but also introduced skunk
characteristics that improved its ease for gardening. In Jack
Flash #5, Sensi has further evolved this family, producing a
feminized, sativa-dominant cross of the Jack Flash variety. Jack
Flash #5’s mother was a standout Jack Flash phenotype, with
which this feminized strain was backcrossed in the next-to-last
breeding step. The female “father” was a superb Skunk/Haze
hybrid that was extremely resistant to intersexuality, making
the chances of hermaphroditic qualities in its feminized
progeny as low as in a regular female.
The Jack Flash #5 is more sativa influenced than the original
Jack Flash. During flowering, this variety is more poplar tree
than pine, with upwardangled branches that create height and
lead to as much as a 200% size increase unless controlled. The
hybrid “stretched-teardrop” leaves have a fat indica
middle narrowing to thin sativa tips. Jack Flash #5’s large,
dense buds have hybrid features, first clustering, and then
running along the branches to fill the internodal space. As they
mature, the colas form oversized oval calyxes with profuse
pistils and an amazingly dense resin coating. The tops of the
main buds often have multi-point crowns caused by large
calyxes growing on top of one another.
Jack Flash #5 is a happy, vigorous plant that handles a wide
range of conditions with grace. Sensi recommends this strain
for indoor grows. These large ladies like a decent nutrient
supply and tend to be resilient to fungus and minor grow room
miscalculations. This plant can be controlled well in a screen of
green grow, or tamed to single main stems and grown as a sea
of green as longs as clones are put into flower almost
immediately after rooting, at 4–5 inches (8–12 cm) in height.
The main concern for Jack Flash #5 growers will be height
jumps, although this variety is not as unwieldy as typical hazedominated strains. Outdoors, this variety finishes in time when grown within 40 degrees of the sunny equatorial belt, but it
may be more challenged to ripen before cool weather sets in at
latitudes above 45 degrees N.
Jack Flash#5 has skunk elements in its earthy citrus aroma
and flavor that many will find enjoyable and tasty. Beyond the
appeal of its vigor, which makes it suitable even for beginners
to deliver great connoisseur yields, the Jack Flash #5 will win
hearts with its long lasting and strongly cerebral, sparkling
high. The effects come on fast, leading with the head and
filtering into an indica body-buzz that creeps up and lingers.
Unlike some varieties, repeat smoking may refresh the head
effects and stave off lethargy, but of course this only works up
to a point. The indica stone is likely to prevail in high doses or
when smoked throughout the day. Still, Jack Flash #5 is not
prone to stupefy smokers, so it is suitable for chilling out with
friends in easygoing social activities, and most medical users
will find it to be a well-rounded addition to the stash.
