Mandarin Jack is an evenly balanced hybrid strain of cannabis first grown in the United States of America. It is a proprietary creation of Ethos Genetics, a Colorado-based cannabis company responsible for a number of Mandarin-based cannabis strains on the market today. Mandarin Jack, like many of its closely-related cousin strains, produces an uplifting and airy high that is great for a midday smoke. Mandarin Jack is the product of Ethos Genetics’ brilliant growers crossing Mandarin Sunset with the world-famous Jack Herer strain. The resulting plant produces buds with a THC concentration as high as 19%, with an average concentration sitting around 16%.

Unlike some of the other Mandarin-based hybrid strains created by Ethos Genetics, Mandarin Jack plants produce buds that are more typical of Indica-dominant flowers. You should expect to find large, spade-shaped buds that take on a minty green hue. These incredibly vibrant buds are accented by orange hairs that wrap themselves throughout the bud, and an incredibly thick coating of off-white trichomes which help the buds look frosty.

Mandarin Jack nugs produce an incredibly heavy aroma consisting of pungent fuel, fresh fruits, and a bit of sour citrus. This aroma is sure to explode and heighten in intensity when the buds are broken down in your grinder, so be sure no prying noses are around for your smoke session. The flavor is a lot lighter than the aroma, thankfully. Users have described the smoke tasting like a wonderful blend of bubblegum and tropical fruit, which is sure to have you coming back for hit after hit.

The high from Mandarin Jack is often described by consumers as the perfect blend of uplifting and relaxing effects. This is likely because the strain is incredibly balanced, meaning most users will experience effects from both ends of the Indica-Sativa spectrum.

The high begins subtly, building in your headspace without your knowledge as you take hit after hit of this incredibly sweet flower. Before long, your mind will be filled with a euphoric sensation that washes away any negative thoughts or doubts you might have had, leaving you in a blissfully stoned state. As this creative and euphoric head high begins to fade, the full-bodied effects of the strain come on a bit harder, relaxing your body into a state of near-sedation. Some find themselves unable to move for anything other than food, as the munchies caused by this strain is the only thing strong enough to beat its relaxing properties.
