Head Seeds
Head Seeds acquired the G-13 through a Pacific Northwest
connection who supplied cuttings. Here, the potent indica has
been mated with a Diesel, one of the popular sativa-dominant
strains noted for a strong stone, and an aroma of grapefruit
rind edging toward truck fuel. Diesel hybrids are popular in
Amsterdam’s coffeshops due to their attractive combination of
sativa and indica traits in the high.
G-13 Diesel is a hardy, easy-growing plant that prefers heavy
to moderate feeding. This plant multi-branches well, but is very
tractable for growers who prefer a compact, bushlike profile.
Plants that begin flowering at 12 to 16 inches will grow
moderately, not quite doubling in height to finish around 22
inches. When G-13 Diesel is grown small with a single cola, she
yields 7 to 10 grams per plant. When grown large and trained,
she could easily yield a pound or more.
This strain’s leaves maintain a deep green up until the last
week or so of flowering; some plants take on purple tones in
the stems and leaves late in their flowering cycle. G-13 Diesel
buds are typical in shape: broad at the base and narrow at the
tip, with pistils ranging from reddish brown to dark pink. The
buds are fairly compact, but not dense enough to promote
mold. The diesel aroma announces itself during the vegetative
phase and becomes very strong late in flowering, requiring
some attention to odor control. The smoke’s flavor is sweet and
skunky with unpredictable notes of citrus and diesel.
This hybrid’s high starts in the head, with a cerebral flight of
ideas, but quickly works its way into the body for a long lasting
stone. In many respects, G-13 Diesel offers the classic
marijuana experience: a peaceful smile, a relaxed body, and a
renewed appreciation for tasty snacks. This is a smoke for
sunny days and happy times with friends. Rather than a trip to
the shopping mall or other frenzied environments, enjoy it on a
slow afternoon in a cozy spot at home or in the great outdoors.
