G-13 is an Indica strain originally bred during the 70s or 80s amid much mystery and speculation. It has even been rumored to have originated from a shady government research facility although very little evidence has surfaced to back this. Nowadays the strain commonly contains some Sativa attributes and can border on a hybrid, however, that doesn’t take away from its powerful body-based high. This is a quite the heavy hitter with a particular knack for alleviating pain.

The flowering period usually takes around 11 weeks (77 days) for indoor grows and up to 10 weeks for outdoor growers. The yields differ as you would expect with outdoor grows producing up to 40 ounces per plant (1120g) compared to indoor yields of up to 21 ounces (588g).

FLAVORS
Looks can certainly impress right off the bat with this strain. It’s usually covered with a thin layer of frosty trichomes intertwined with long and wild orange hairs. These buds clearly don’t skip the gym because they are often huge! To top it off they also emit a sweet stench with subtle hints of dry earthiness also gracing the nostrils. This aroma carries over into the taste and boasts that old school ‘pine’ flavor as part of the mix. Let’s just say it smells good.
