original G-13

hey guys. just today i heard THE MOST AMAZING story... so amazing that i definitely can't post it on the internet.

and it leads me to a very serious question. how am i most likely to find seeds or clones as close to the original G-13 as possible?

I DO NOT want ones that have been crossbred back and forth and all over the place... like what I suspect most seed banks have done with this strain. i live in washington so it's possible that it's hiding out in the sticks somewhere... but is there a different place (preferably online) to look first?

thanks a lot guys.

 

Personally I don't think there ever was a "real" G-13. If you've ever seen vids about the lab at the University of Mississippi, the stuff they grow is shit, and I can't imagine it was ever any better. Just my opinion.

Well, that's no fun!!!


I say now you HAVE TO tell us this "Amazing" story...

I started smoking on some stuff called G-13, 10 pounds of the stuff was smuggled out of a lab, I thought in Washington State. I was not a daily smoker then, so my recall of the potency may be influenced by my relatively fresh lungs...but the stuff was incredibly amazing. Rock hard, resinous nugs, more a hashy taste than anything. YUM. I was under the impression Mr. Nice Guy had a collection of some G-13 cross strains. He may have gotten a hold of the original strain?

 

I can tell you with almost certainity that there was a real G13. The only way to get pure G13 is by clone. I have a stockpile of articles concerning G13.

 

G13 is popular on the big island(pahoa),seeds,clones,they get.


ive tried it a few times,not as good as the DEATH,or the berry.


its all good.......

 

I assume thats not the "cheese" from Greenhouse Seeds right Apprentice? They just got their own flavor right?

 

You will never find "real" G-13. It was a clone, and the mother and subsequent clones all died off.


It was the University of Mississippi, not Washington.


Look up Sandy Weinstein. That will give you the real history.


MichaelD - that is not correct. It was a few clones, not pounds.


And Neville had the original clone, not Shanti. But the mothers and clones of it all died. Neville made some crosses with it before it died. These are the ones MNS carries. That is the closest you will get.


Real G-13 tastes like lawn clippings BTW.


There are a couple cuts floating around. Pacific G-13, Airborne G-13. They are totally different, and if memory serves the Pacific is actually g-13 x nl. The Airborne can not be traced back to anywhere. So to call it pure or real g-13 is just speculation, or wishful thinking.


TA, I a friend brought over some UK Cheese, and some BB Cheese. ROFL. The BB has way more indica in it. Totally different smell and flavor. The BB is like Afghani with a hint of Cheese. Way more body to the stone than the UK Cheese. Oh yea, I think a cut might be on the way. :thumbsup:

 

basically i met a guy that knew a guy that knew a guy...


long story short... this guy grew some plants from UW in 1985... where G13 is rumored to come from... from a set of clones. I'm trying to find something as close to what he grew originally as i can... and as far as i can tell if he's not bullshittin me then that may be what it was.

 

From what I understand it was from the U of MISSISSIPPI......not WASHINGTON.........like USELESS said earlier, look up Sandy Weinstein

 

well useless I don't wanna disagree with you, I have a lot of respect for your advice...


but...


I've verified well enough for my own purposes that G13 came from UW Not Mississippi.


this guy who knew a guy who met a guy happened to come across the strain he'd grown back 1985 again... crossed of course. anyone care to guess what it was?


again... he had no clue what the name of the strain he grew was when he did it... but according to his story there is NO chance that people would be able to easily identify where it came from... cause no one involved talked about the project. yall can call bs and go with whoever wrote whatever book, but I researched this topic thoroughly, and even among experts they're still not 100% sure where the strain came from. there are 2 opposing theories and they were... UW and Mississippi!


unfortunately, this also means that there is absolutely no chance of finding a "pure" G13 clone for myself. apparently it was crossed with a something candy haze to produce the original seeds, meaning that the original genetics are lost in time. oh well, it was a good idea anyway!

 

Sir Stinky - No offense taken. But your source is simply incorrect about the origins. It may have made it's way to the PNW, but it did not originate at the UW.


Check it - (not sure of the author of the post, was listed as "Guest" however, I have read the exact same story numerous times from different sources)

Now on a different note -


A friend in Holland says he has G-13. The real clone. Gifted to his mate directly from Neville in the early-mid 80's. (This is also the guy with the A5 and C5 hazes. Nevilles parental stock for haze. He has the males and and also some crosses of A5xG-13 and C5xG-13.) However, we can not verify with a 100% level of certainty that is "Pure G-13" and not an early cross of it. It is he says, decent, but not worthy of growing. He keeps it for posterity and nostalgia IMO.

You talking about Ben? Or a friend of his maybe. I know Ben was gifted that cut from neville too. Thats what they used to make sensi seeds Mr. Nice G-13 x Hashplant(In honor of Mr. nice seeds). But you already know that.

 

well your sources are very wrong there was never a canabis collect or grow going on at UW, only 'ole Miss(University of Mississippi). The G-13 doesn't even stand for the generation like people seem to think. It stands for Growroom-13, where is was taken from supposedly.


Like tC pointed out if you have seen the stuff they(UM) are growing there now it's not very impressive and wouldn't expect it to be much, and like useless said G-13 taste like lawn clippings. Now any experience grower knows there are some strains that have small trichs you can barely seed and leave the bud less appealing but still have just as much bite. That's G-13 for ya, supposed to be good quality but the taste and appearance weren't supposed to be anything super special even more so by todays standards.


So you can go by your BS stories if you want but man point is there was never a government grow facility in UW, UM is the only one and until MJ becomes legal will remain that way.

 

Sounds yummy

 

Not Ben. It's coming from the "Old Man". He holds the cut.


HHHG it is sounds pretty crappy to me. But it is supposed to be a powerful cut.

 

Useless have you tried any g13 crosses?
