Subcool Seeds Jack the Ripper BX

Strain Overview

Jack the Ripper BX Regular Cannabis Seeds by Subcool Seeds represent a carefully executed preservation and refinement of one of Subcool’s most legendary creations. These Jack the Ripper BX seeds were developed to retain the strain’s unmistakable lemon-cleaner aroma and signature resin production while introducing stronger structure, faster finishing, and more consistent phenotypes. A reimagined take on a cult classic, this version delivers Subcool’s trademark citrus-lime sharpness and vibrant growth in a more refined, grower-friendly package suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation.

Genetics and Lineage

The genetics behind Jack the Ripper BX seeds combine Pandora’s Box with Jack the Ripper F2, bringing together two cornerstone Subcool creations in a single powerhouse hybrid. The backcrossing process was performed using 25 packs of original TGA Pandora’s Box F1 stock to isolate a short, early-finishing phenotype. That cut was then reworked through three elite, lemon-forward Jack the Ripper F2 mothers to strengthen vigor, resin production, and flavor complexity. The result is a Sativa-leaning hybrid with excellent stability, designed to capture the original essence of Jack the Ripper while improving its structure and cultivation performance.

Appearance and Growth Characteristics

Jack the Ripper BX seeds produce plants that are shorter and bushier than the original Jack the Ripper, with a strong central structure and excellent lateral branching. Height typically remains in the short-to-medium range, though the colas are dense, resin-coated, and stack aggressively during late flowering. One rare phenotype develops long “soda-bottle” shaped colas, a trait highly sought after among collectors of Subcool genetics. This strain yields heavily for its size and benefits from early topping and training to encourage uniform canopy growth. Due to its dense bud structure, support during late flower is recommended to prevent limb bending.

Flowering Time and Cultivation

The flowering period for Jack the Ripper BX seeds typically ranges between 55 and 60 days, making it a faster-finishing option than many classic Sativa-dominant hybrids. Indoors, it performs best when topped and trained into a wide, bush-like structure, responding well to low-stress training and netting for optimal light penetration. Outdoors, it thrives in temperate to warm climates, displaying excellent resilience and uniform growth. Growers can expect medium yields that are impressive relative to plant size, with dense colas swelling rapidly toward the end of the flowering cycle.

Flavor and Aroma Profile

Jack the Ripper BX seeds carry one of the most distinct terpene profiles in the Subcool catalog. The aroma bursts with sharp lemon cleaner, bright citrus funk, and spicy hash undertones, completely free of the sweeter Space Queen candy notes found in earlier generations. The flavor mirrors the nose, with intense lemon and mango on the inhale and a lingering pine-hash finish. This combination delivers a classic old-school citrus-pine sharpness with layers of earthy complexity. Each bud exudes the unmistakable lemon-cleaner identity that made Jack the Ripper famous, solidifying this backcross as a perfect representation of Subcool’s legacy in aroma and taste.

Breeder Information

By carefully reworking the genetics through a precision backcross, Subcool preserved the defining characteristics of Jack the Ripper while improving its growth structure and resin density. For collectors, breeders, and fans of the original lemon-dominant profile, Jack the Ripper BX seeds stand as a true testament to Subcool’s enduring craftsmanship and innovation.
