Jack the Ripper is a fast-flowering sativa from Subcool's The Dank, crossing Jack's Cleaner with Space Queen. Despite its ominous name, JTR delivers a bright, sharp, and uplifting lemon-pine experience with notably high THCV content — the natural appetite suppressant cannabinoid. It's one of the most energizing and psychedelic sativas available, with a fast 8-week flowering time unusual for a pure sativa.

"Great yield for the effort"

Outdoor run in full sun. She got massive — had to stake the main branches. The cure took 3 weeks and the smell is absolutely incredible. Worth every minute.

This strain handled a pH issue mid-grow better than anything else I've grown. Recovered quickly and the final product was still excellent. Strong genetics.

Three sessions in and I'm a convert. First hit you feel the body relax, then the head clears out nicely. Not too heavy, not too light — right in the sweet spot.

"Grew it outdoors — loved it"

Grew this in a 4x4 tent under LED. Stretched more than expected but structure was solid and trichome development was beautiful. Dense frosty buds at the end.
