I already know what I am going to hear.... "2 more weeks"!.. All I can say is you're not here to see it. She is done, I'm taking her down.

Although you see quite a few white pistils in the pics... behind that is fully ripe g13 goodness.. I promise.. haha.

I think you'll love running it in production mode. I do! I'm getting around 10 O's with 4 plants in 2 gallons of coco under a 400hps in 85 days and i have far from an optimal set-up. They made not look done in 63 days but they are

Dude all I have to say to this is just one word EPIC! I hope one day I acquire your grow skills man.
That's very nice of you to say. I'm not doing anything special here with my garden.
I did take the time to explore this pack though.. so, i'll take the compliment. haha.

#2 came out to 8 oz dried. This was taking up just 1/4 of the space under a 600 watt for all but the final 2 weeks of flowering.
I would guess at my usual 4 plants per 600 hps the #2 would have pulled 1.75 lbs.

But yes, I see where the "average" talk comes from. This smoke is probably 1/2 of the potency of #1. #1 is tough competition though... very potent.

Seeing as #1 is the best Indica dom plant I have grown (yield, potency, taste, smell) (yield and potency, very very high), and #2 is by far the largest, highest yielding plant I have grown, I am VERY curious just what else there is to find in these G13 seeds. With many of the seeds we all grow there are "phenos" that we take notice of and talk about.. I have never heard people talk of the phenos of these seeds. That makes me all the more curious. #2 might be a little bit novelty (avatar material for sure), #1 is fucking amazing, there has to be more very special plants in there. Any increase on yield of #1 while holding the quality would be incredible. The yield is already fantastic. If you can't tell, the fact that I only saw 2 plants of the gene pool is sort of bugging me..haha. The 10 fem Bubba OG that I just got should help with the pain though. I should get a very good look at what the Bubba OG has to offer.

I have had bad luck with heavily indica dom plants in the past. I have found amazing quality but yield is always low. I hear people say that Sativas yield less, indicas more, but that has not been the case in my experience. The great thing about #1 is I finally found that heavy narcotic stone in a plant that yields very well. Also, I finally found something with higher yields than my green crack plant. I thought I had hit a ceiling when I got that plant.

My writing here is all scattered, apologies, it must be tough to read. I had a looong week. On Sunday friend and I are going to relax, BBQ and really get into this G13 #2. I should have more to say about the smoking experience, potency, stuff like that.

Very much looking forward to it. I am expecting #1 to do 18 o's with 4 plants in 3 gallons of coco under a 600 hps in 60 days. Much love indeed. :weed:

I got my first chance to smoke on #2 dried buds. I like this buzz quite a bit. 3 pulls from a water pipe did me pretty well. I'm not really weighed down yet (90 mins from smoking) but I have a feeling it is coming a little later.
I'll hold off on a g13 update until I get something of substance to say here. I've just been thinking out loud and repeating myself for the last week.
#2 is nice smoke though. The buds lack density. Potency is there, but visually the resin content looks much lower than #1. The bag appeal leaves some to desire. Smoking on it though, it's great.

I like it... :eyesmoke:

Hey Hank, What is your take on the aroma of your pheno's. After running this for two years i'm finding out that i am having to replace my carbon filter every 9 months just to keep it in check.This is the most odorific strain i have ever ran!

I have a question for you heartland hank. When did your g13 really start putting on the weight? I too am growing g13 haze it will be 8 weeks tmw and im still waiting for the beef up. Im not trying to hijack your thread there just isnt much info out there on g13 grows.

At this time I have only grown 2 plants of the G13. These were mixed in with many different plants of various odor. I can't really comment on how strong the growing smell is. I know that after just a few days in the jar both take on a sweet smell. Kinda grassy, but is a great grassy sweet smell. Not that grassy smell that we all try to avoid. It is a unique smell.

I've been changing out my filter every 6-8 months for a long time... long before I grew G13. I'm using 2 large filters in my whole setup. I alternate replacing them by 3-4 months.

#1 and #2 were quite a bite different

#1, little buds emerged after about 13 days of 12/12.. quick. By week 5 the buds were really set in... THey continued to swell up until 7.5 weeks. Fully mature in just 8.5 weeks.
#2 did not get little buds until mid week 4... During week 6 they started to really show. The colas filled in with buds and started to look like something special around week 8. This plant went for 13 weeks.

So, quite a difference... I have not grown O Haze, but my 14 week sativa doesn't really show buds until week 5 or so.

Nice job Hank and a great thread. I have had this in my garden for a while now and get 3-4 pound yields from her but flower at 24 inches

Thanks, OGMan. I'm just about to take a closer look at the G13 #1.
It looks like these cuts will be taller than the last grow. Still, they are in 1qt pots again... a little rootbound, due to not finding the time. I have a mother that could be cleaned up and trained with a tomato cage. I'm not sure if I am going to put that plant into the mix or not. I am thinking about it.
