XJ-13
A prestigious sativa-dominant masterpiece crossing Jack Herer with G13 Haze—revered for its electric clarity and distinct citrus-pine aroma.
What is XJ-13?
XJ-13 is an elite, clone-only cultivar that represents the pinnacle of Dutch-meets-Californian breeding. By pairing the world-renowned Jack Herer with the legendary G13 Haze, breeders created a hybrid that captures the cerebral uplift of a Sativa without the overwhelming anxiety often associated with pure Haze varieties.
This strain is famous for its "clean" high and incredible bag appeal. Unlike many modern "dessert" strains, XJ-13 maintains a classic terpene profile rich in terpinolene, offering a refreshing blast of lime, pine, and tropical fruit. As a verified clone-only strain, it is prized for its consistent growth patterns and its ability to produce massive, resin-coated spears that smell like a citrus grove in mid-summer.
Terpene Profile
The XJ-13 strain terpenes are unmistakable. It is one of the most aromatic strains in existence, leading with a sharp, sweet lime zest followed by the unmistakable spicy pine of its Jack Herer parentage.
Growing XJ-13
XJ-13 is a joy to grow, often referred to as a "commercial dream" because of its yield-to-flower time ratio. It grows vigorously and exhibits a classic Sativa stretch during the first three weeks of 12/12. It is highly resistant to many common pests and molds, making it a reliable choice for both indoor and greenhouse environments.
