This delightful cross of Space Queen and Orange Skunk hits THC levels of 18%, putting it in the upper tier of potency. The sativa/indica ratio is 60:40, a combination that creates an upbeat, euphoric head high with bursts of energy and creativity. CBD levels are very low, less than 1%, so this strain isn't very effective at treating seizures. But it is good at treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and pain (including migraines). Jillybean has a strong, sweet taste and a smell of oranges and mangoes. It has a shiny, frosted appearance created by a dense layer of trichomes, with flecks of green and gold. The flavor, as the name suggests, is similar to jelly beans. Dry mouth is common, while dry eyes, paranoia, and anxiety are more limited. Jillybean is a great daytime strain, ideal for getting things done and staying positive. The high is bubbly and cerebral, though the indica genes deliver limited body effects. This strain is most readily available on the West Coast, in Michigan, and in Colorado. Jillybean is definitely a popular choice, mostly due to its strong sativa effects and mood boost.
About this strain: Jilly Bean
Jilly Bean -- a cross between a female Orange Velvet cut and pollen from a Space Queen male -- was created and bred indoors at West Coast seed bank TGA Genetics by co-founders Subcool and MzJill.
Subcool told Weedmaps they picked up the Orange Velvet clone, called “Melvin” at the time, roughly around 2006 from a nearby family that had the mother plant. They crossed the female with their own Space Queen male, which was the last remaining seeds of its kind left at the time.
Named after MzJill -- as well as for its candy-citrus, limonene and pinene-dominant scent profile and tropical jelly bean flavor, Jilly Bean was among High Times’ Top Ten Strains of 2007. It was named the magazine’s best Sativa of 2014 and took 1st place at the Adam Dunn Show Invitational.
Jilly Bean is no longer carried by TGA Genetics and is now in the hands of MzJill’s seed bank, Oregon-based MzJill Genetics. According to Subcool, the Jilly Bean currently bred by MzJill is an open-pollinated F2 hybrid version of the strain.
