G13 Kush
Also known as: G13 OG, Government Indica
G13 Kush Strain Overview
G13 Kush is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid that has achieved near-mythical status in cannabis lore due to its mysterious origins and potent effects. The strain's name references the controversial 'G13' legend, which claims the original genetics were developed in a secret government research facility in the 1970s, though this story remains unverified and is widely considered apocryphal by cannabis historians. What is known is that modern G13 Kush typically results from crossing the original G13 genetics with various OG Kush varieties, creating a strain that combines the legendary potency of its parentage with refined cultivation characteristics.
The plant exhibits classic indica morphology with dense, resinous buds that display a deep forest green coloration often accented by vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of milky-white trichomes. The buds are typically compact and tightly structured, with a pungent aroma that combines earthy, pine, and fuel-like notes. G13 Kush has gained particular notoriety for its exceptionally high THC content and powerful sedative effects, making it one of the more potent indica varieties available.
Despite its mysterious background, G13 Kush has become a staple in the cannabis community for its reliable effects and has been used extensively in breeding programs to create other high-potency strains. The strain's reputation for delivering intense physical relaxation has made it particularly popular among experienced users seeking strong medicinal effects. While the exact origins remain debated, the strain's consistent performance and distinctive characteristics have secured its place in cannabis culture.

G13 Kush Strain Growing Information
G13 Kush is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks indoors and finishes outdoors in late September to early October. Indoor yields typically range from 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. The strain prefers indoor cultivation where environmental factors can be carefully controlled, though it can be grown outdoors in warm, Mediterranean climates. Plants typically reach a medium height of 100-150 cm indoors but can grow taller outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining proper humidity control during flowering to prevent mold due to the dense bud structure, and providing adequate support for branches as the heavy buds develop. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training) to maximize yields.
