Hello All!
Trying to describe the aroma of this particular Jack Herer plant has been a bit difficult because for the last 50 years my friends and I had only 3 descriptors for the smell, taste, and potency of weed. For example, smells good, smells really good, smells like chit. Same with taste and potency. This has worked with 100% accuracy for the last 50 years. lol Since joining this site a couple months ago I see things are described a bit differently!
So, we sat around a few times seeing if we could come up with something a bit more descriptive. We came up with some rather easy things that usually come up when describing Jack Herer. When first opening the jar, everyone notices the sweetness but there is more than that, of course. As the gasses let out and the smell fills the room you can smell pepper, spiciness, cinnamon, and cloves are all commonly named. All pretty typical of Jack Herer. As a bud sits there smelling up the room or the jar is kept open you know the smell is still much more complex than that. I kept getting a whiff of something that made me think of gas or diesel but much too sweet for that. Jet fuel?
Then I remembered! VP 110 Octane Racing Fuel that I use in my race car! Racing fuel does not smell like gasoline at all. It smells much too sweet for that. Racing fuel smells much more like nitromethane but sweeter. Nitromethane is used in Top Fuel dragsters and is very 'explosive'. Kind of like this Jack Herer high! As some of my racing friends came by, I asked if they could smell the racing fuel smell in the Jack. Sure, enough they could and with a great big smile on their face. Racers tend to love the smell of racing fuel and they had never smelled it in weed before. When I asked people not familiar with the racing fuel smell if they smelled gas or anything like it, they all came up with turpentine, another somewhat common Jack Herer smell.
So far, we got pepper, spicy, cloves cinnamon, racing fuel, and turpentine with the racing fuel being unique. There is more I'm sure but I need someone like Shrimp&Grits who has an awesome ability to describe smells to help me out.
The other Jack Herer I grew does not smell like that at all. While still very sweet smelling the aroma is much fruitier with earthy undertones and just a hint of pepper and spice and everything nice. The highs of both plants are very similar. Very cerebral, hits immediately, and last for hours. The big chit-eating grin is a dead giveaway that you just smoked some Jack!

The Jack Herer Racing Fuel Plant. I'd much rather grow plants this size than the monstrosities I am growing this year. It yielded 7.5 oz. of hi-octane racing fuel bud and it's not much bigger than the bicycle! Lots of buds a big as beer cans!
The Racing Fuel Bud. All the sugar coating must be why it smells so sweet?
The Smell. 55 gallons of it!
The High. Very cerebral and immediate! I am in the black car heating up my tires in the water box before the race. I won!
