Sannie's Jack Herer ~ jack f7, gonna be a long winter, wtf.

That sucks Glad. Cindy 99 does that to me. I can smoke down on pretty much anything and not get sketchy, but that one has me closing the blinds and hunkering down in the house :-/

Being relatively new to growing, but not new to life I figured most growers didn't grow Sativas because they were lazy and greedy in general. lmao It takes
a lot longer to flower and that isn't good for numbers. I am starting to realize what is up now. lol. I haven't noticed that with my RD nevil's wreck crosses though.
Ghost Train #1, Vale Vale, Daydream didn't do that. Somali Taxi ride did to an extent, but not really so uncomfortable. I was racey-wild, but enjoyable. lmao.

i like to feel like someones watching me .

Glad I here ya been growing for 15 yrs and have not grown a sativa till now. The trichs are just pilling on my Jack Herrer and Tut and I'm still a few weeks away. Now I'm a little paranoid about smokin down on it because it will probably make me paranoid.LMAO And I bought a whole bunch of different sativa strains to try. Guess I'm gonna be a paranoid SOB for a while LOL.

Different strokes for different folks though.
I help PTSD patients, a few of them are real severe cases and I need to watch shit like that.

The Nevs x Oaxocan is the smoothest sativa ride I've tried yet. I was also the longest flowering plant I have grown so far. I think it had room for improvement and am looking forward to the next run. I plan on popping that pack of Cindy soon, if I get any funky ass males in there I may hit you up for a cut of that Jack if you haven't tossed it yet.

On another note... I bought a pack of Mothers Finest a few years back and it was the only pack I have ever ran with 0 germ rates, and the most expensive pack I have ever bought. I curse sensi for a while and grabbed a pack of Skunk 1 just because it was cheap and legendary. Only 3 of those popped but for a 20 dollar pack it was alright, never grow it again, but alright. So I finally coughed up the loot and got some Black Domina, 100% germ, 5 girls look just like the pics in the description. They all smell similar, sorta weak and piney with light hints of fruit, and one is slightly more fruity but has that super fuely you know its gonna get you high smell. If it lives up to the description I will probably buy another pack of the Mothers Finest. I have read some really great things about her and have never got to try.

What strains work best for PTSD? I cannot relate, but I would guess something that gets one moving enough to keep the mind at ease yet not so much it has the opposite effect. I know a knock out indica can stop stress nice and quick but in exchange I sit and drool and never get anything done.

Exactly what you said, knock-out indica. I go by, any strain that calms me. So I'm here shitting on Sativas all day but cheese and chocolope are sativas and they are 2 of the most calming strains I know of.
When I read up some on ptsd I understood, any strain that makes you mind work - makes you feel more creative, insightful, whatever - those are bad. Indicas that make you couchlocked is good. So common sense and experience had me give them strains that helped keep me calm and mellow and have had good feedback. Master Kush, most of the bubba hybrids, cheese, chocolates, etc.

Its funny how Indicas and Sativas are generically termed due to there normal known effects , but then there are those hybrids and rare Ibl specimens that are opposite of the quota .. In the end it is the diversity that keeps me moving , I never know what exactly to expect when growing something new as each person and there grow can produce many differences from where the stock originated ..

Oaxacan aye , I have some beans from a guy named strider , he documented his quest on GP for the seeds and traveled to Mexico to find them , Being that I love Jack Herer I thought about crossing them to see how it would work , another project for 2013...Peace

I've been waiting to get smoke reports to post but it isn't happening. lmao.

This shit here is my least favorite strain yet. At first I loved it. It's too damn strong, or too something.
I get high as fuck then about a half hour later I feel impending doom!!
The anxiety is absolutely ridiculous, as far as I'm concerned. I've gotten feed back from a
few that love it though. It's more of a narcotic or some shit. 2 days ago, belle was really
panicky and couldn't figure out why she was freaking out, I said - It's that fucking weed.
I can't smoke it.
Sucks to do a journal and then bad mouth the strain. lmao. I was waiting for a few that
liked it to post, but it isn't happening yet. We are all different and different meds react
differently to each person.
Jack the Ripper did the exact same thing, but not as bad. Sub mixed up so much shit into that
strain, I was really hoping that it wasn't the Jack Herer that caused the anxiety. Abe has a
really good JTR that doesn't have the anxiety. My JTR, Abe's JTR, and these JH all smell exactly
the same too. lmao. I suspect this will be a popular strain for many of my patients so I'll keep it
but it's too fucking much for this guy. (and belle. She won't touch it now. lol)
I took the #1 & #8 12 weeks. I rolled a fattie before the Tiger game 2 days ago and smoked not quite
half of the joint and was fucking ripped for hours. I enjoyed the first 15 minutes of it. lmao.

Ha, I wouldn't say your bad mouthing the strain, just saying it was too strong and wasn't the kind of buzz your looking for. If anything you talked it up lol. My opinion on the strain is it is the best strain I have grown in hydro out of 5 or 6 strains including SSH x OG and NL. Exactly what I was was looking for as far as buzz. I was looking for that Sativa high and the late hermie I chopped early impresses me more every day that it cures. If your looking for more medicinal strains stick to indicas or indica dominant strains with high CBD's. I'm sure someones brought that up but I haven't read the rest of the posts yet.

Thanks for the great writeup. This is one strain I've been interested in growing/trying for a while now.

I had the same experience smoking Jack Herer in Amsterdam about 10 years ago. Super fast rush up. . .then anxiety/paranoia. . .

That's a typical sativa "overdose" effect, and IMO its worse than indica "couchlock".

I suppose some strain tolerance will probably help here, as well as a more controlled dosing (smoke less and wait longer between tokes). Its really that first 15 minutes of "creeper" where you don't quite feel the effects yet but you keep smoking anyway that does you in.

On PTSD, fortunately I don't suffer from it, but usually people recommend the indicas (ie "kushes") for that.

^^^ Excellent advice Jogro. I always over-do it! I will take it easy with sativas and see if that helps.
