Where Jokerz Comes From
Leafly credits Compound Genetics with crossing White Runtz and Jet Fuel Gelato, and AllBud agrees on the cross and rates it about 70% indica. Leafly lists Goofiez and Baby Turtle as offspring and says Jokerz placed first at the 2022 Leaf Bowl in Oregon.
The Leaf Bowl claim comes from Leafly alone, so we could not confirm it independently.

Growing Jokerz
Growers say Jokerz flowers into frosty, silver and green buds. We found no flowering time or yield data. Frosty, dense flowers are a mold risk in wet autumns, so ensure airflow.
Home-grow rules depend on the state: adults can grow at home in states such as California (six plants per residence), Michigan (12 per residence) and Oregon (four per household), while Washington and Illinois allow home growing only for registered medical patients. Check your state in our cannabis laws by state guide before you plant anything.
