Apple Jack Cannabis Strain (Vape)

Apple Jack likely refers to the “Apple Jack” cannabis strain, often available in vape cartridge form. “Apple Jack” is an indica-dominant hybrid (around 70/30) bred by breeders like Rare Dankness Seeds. It’s known for its crisp, apple-infused flavors and relaxing effects, making it popular for vaping due to its smooth, fruity profile and quick onset. Below is a detailed breakdown based on publicly available data from cannabis resources (e.g., Leafly, High Times, and user reviews as of 2023). This expanded overview covers its history, effects, cultivation, and more for a comprehensive understanding. Note: Cannabis laws vary by location; this is informational only and not medical advice. Vaping cannabis can have health risks, including lung irritation; consult a professional and consider safer consumption methods.

Strain Overview and Lineage

Apple Jack was developed by Rare Dankness Seeds, a breeder famous for flavorful, potent hybrids. Its lineage is a cross between Jack Herer (a sativa-dominant hybrid with Haze and Shiva genetics) and an apple-flavored indica, possibly involving strains like Apple Fritter. This results in a predominantly indica strain (70%) with sativa influences (30%), balancing relaxation with mild energy. The “apple” emphasizes the fresh, crisp apple flavor, while “jack” nods to its heritage.

Visually, Apple Jack buds are dense and chunky, with a green base, hints of purple, and a thick trichome layer for a frosty appearance. The aroma is fresh and fruity: crisp green apple with earthy, piney undertones from the Jack Herer side. When vaped, the flavor is vibrant—tart apple with a sweet, herbal finish, often compared to biting into a fresh Granny Smith apple. It’s smooth and not overpowering, appealing to users who want a clean, natural taste without heaviness. Reviewers describe it as “refreshing and nostalgic,” like an apple orchard in a vape.

Effects and Experience

Apple Jack’s indica dominance makes it great for relaxation, providing a calming body high that starts quickly in vape form (effects in 2-5 minutes). The onset is euphoric and uplifting, easing stress and promoting a sense of calm, with the sativa side adding subtle mental clarity. It transitions into deep relaxation, ideal for evenings or unwinding without full sedation.

Common effects include stress relief, pain reduction, appetite stimulation, and mild euphoria. Leafly users report a “crisp calm” lasting 4-6 hours, with many noting its help for anxiety or insomnia. One user said, “It’s like a cool apple breeze—relaxing and tasty.” THC levels are around 18-22%, making it moderately potent and user-friendly. Drawbacks include dry mouth, dry eyes, and possible grogginess in excess. High doses might cause mild paranoia, but its balance keeps it mellow.

Medically, Apple Jack has anecdotal benefits for chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep issues. THC’s effects on the endocannabinoid system may aid relief, per NIH studies. CBD is low (under 1%), so it’s recreational-focused. Users with stress disorders find it soothing.

Cultivation and Growing Tips

Growing Apple Jack is moderately difficult, suited for intermediate growers. It prefers warm climates with temperatures of 70-80°F (21-27°C) and moderate humidity (40-50%). Indoors, it works in soil or hydroponics, flowering in 8-9 weeks. Yields are 1-2 ounces per plant (28-56 grams), with a bushy, medium height (4-5 feet).

Nutrients need balance in veg, phosphorus in flower. It’s pest-resistant but avoid overwatering. Outdoor growers in California harvest in October. Seeds from Rare Dankness have 80-90% germination. LST can optimize space.

Availability and Pricing

Apple Jack is available in legal markets, especially as vapes. In states like California, Colorado, dispensaries from Rare Dankness or Select offer cartridges ($30-50 for 0.5-1g) and flower ($10-15/g). Use Weedmaps for options.

In non-legal areas, forums like Reddit discuss growing. Prioritize legal sources.
