PG-13
Also known as: Parental Guidance
What is the PG-13 strain?
PG-13 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 22.0% THC, known for its euphoric effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
PG-13, or "Parental Guidance" as it's more commonly known, is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) strain created through a cross of the rare HP-13 X G-13 strains. Even though it's hard to come by, PG-13 is a great choice for someone who wants a bud that packs a deep stone and slightly energized effects. This strain emerged at a time when breeders were increasingly experimenting with hybrids that blur the traditional indica-sativa divide. Bred by the reputable TH Seeds, the strain was designed to offer a balanced experience that harks back to the classic genetics of its era. Breeders used extensive crossbreeding techniques, drawing inspiration from both indica and sativa lineages to achieve its unique profile.
According to TH Seeds' description, they "took the world famous HP-13 via Maui & NY and crossed it with our G-13 male to bring you the seeds to produce that 'feel good' plant of the year." PG-13 exhibits a striking physical appearance that immediately catches the eye of both casual users and connoisseurs. The buds are dense and well-formed with a visually appealing combination of deep greens and occasional purple hues. A closer look at the foliage reveals a generous coating of resinous trichomes, which not only contributes to its potent effects but also gives the buds a frosty sheen. This strain is now discontinued by TH Seeds and was never available as feminized seeds.
