This strain has a wide range of THC, so consumers of all experience levels should be able to find a batch with an appropriate potency.
Overview of XJ-13
Don't let the clinical name scare you. XJ-13 is a well-known and light-hitting hybrid strain. Some varieties are an even 50/50 hybrid, but other branches of this strain favor sativa genetics. XJ-13 displays weighty buds and frosty trichomes thanks to indica input in the gene profile.
Fans of flavorful bud often delight in XJ-13's citrus scent and pleasantly piney taste. Despite the strain's somewhat skunky undertones, XJ-13 is said to smoke smoothly and hit quickly. Terpinolene, myrcene, and humulene populate this strain's terpene profile, and it;s also high in the cannabinoid CBG. Its CBD levels, however, are negligible.
Positive Effects of XJ-13
XJ-13 fosters a sense of happiness and relaxation before nailing the user with a strong cerebral stone. Reflective of its higher THC content, XJ-13 is frequently cited as a morning stoner's dream. The strain's potency lingers throughout your day but is influenced by its sativa genetics enough to keep a consumer alert and active.
Due to the strain's strong sativa properties, wallflowers and shy stoners use the strain to help lubricate social situations and stimulate conversation. It makes a great companion to marijuana smoking games!
Negative Effects of XJ-13
Consumers prone to paranoia should be careful with XJ-13. Its burst of cerebral energy can shift into unpleasant racing thoughts if consumed in to high a dose. Dry mouth is a concern, and you should consider bringing eyedrops to any XJ-13 sampling session.
Lineage of XJ-13
Within the cannabis community, many unconfirmed rumors still circulate about the marijuana masterminds behind the XJ-13 cross. All we are sure of is the strain's genetics. It's generally accepted that the strain is a cross between the Jack Herer and G-13 strains. XJ-13's parents are well-known among sativa fans in the cannabis community.
Jack Herer, named after the late cannabis activist, boasts THC levels between 18 and 23 percent along with a killer creative buzz. G-13, though darker in coloring, contributes to XJ-13's slight indica body effects and heavily coated, resinous buds. Together, these two parents strains cultivate XJ-13's flavor and more balanced high. Some industry professionals cite that the strain first appeared in Oaksterdam University's 2011 clone catalog under a different name.
Growing XJ-13
XJ-13 is difficult to obtain, as it's a clone-only strain. If you do manage to get your hands on some, you'll find it can thrive both in and outdoors with a flowering time of eight to nine weeks. However, it does need an outdoor climate drier and warmer than average if it's to reach its potential. This strain is recommended for experienced growers, due to its somewhat complex trimming needs.
Where to Find XJ-13
XJ-13 has grown out of the Northern Californian market and now can be found throughout the West "Cannabis" coast in Washington, California, and Oregon.
