Jean Guy

According to our Jean Guy guide, Jean Guy dates from the 2000s in Montreal, and this flower shares the strain’s name. Leafly calls it a hybrid from Canada; AllBud calls it sativa dominant, 90% sativa to 10% indica.

A White Widow phenotype named in Montreal

Leafly and AllBud both describe Jean Guy as a phenotype of White Widow, and AllBud adds that it passes on a sativa-dominant makeup. Robert Misic’s tip in the guide: Marc-Boris St-Maurice, who named the strain in Montreal, told Leafly that its lemon-pine scent stays distinctive however it is grown. The guide’s pointers are frosty green buds, a sharp citrus smell and a lemon-pine finish that lingers.

Frosted dark leaves around pastel buds

Both sources describe dark green, frosted leaves hiding pastel-coloured buds covered in golden crystal trichomes. One Leafly reviewer reports a bold, spicy, woody smell and large, loosely structured buds heavily coated in trichomes; another finds a mix of citrus and sage in the taste and smell. An AllBud reader reports lemon, tea and fruity aromas with grassy, peppery, sage-like flavours.

Sour citrus, lemon and pine

Leafly describes a sour citrus smell and a flavour with hints of lemon and pine, which it calls a gentle launch into jolting sativa effects; its flavour tags are citrus, lime and lemon. AllBud also reports a sour citrus smell and a lemon and pine taste, with citrus, lemon, pine and sweet as its flavour tags.

Myrcene first, and THC from 14% to 25%

Myrcene is dominant in Leafly’s terpene data, followed by pinene and terpinolene, which is what our terpinolene guide is about. THC is 17% on Leafly (CBG 1%) and 14% to 24% on AllBud. Our Jean Guy guide adds that a producer’s brand manager told Leafly Canada the strain runs up to 25% THC with about 1% CBD.

A talkative, energetic profile in the reports

Leafly describes intensely cerebral effects and calls the strain energizing and uplifting, a good one to start the day with; talkative, creative and energetic are the reviewer tags it shows most. AllBud calls it energetic and uplifting, best for starting an active day, with creative, euphoria, happy and sociable as its tags.
