G13 Haze
**G13 Haze** is a legendary hybrid that combines the mythical G13 indica with a potent sativa Haze. This strain is renowned for its powerful cerebral effects and impressive resin production. **Genetics & Background:** The exact origins of the G13 parent remain shrouded in mystery, often cited as a government-developed indica. When crossed with a classic Haze, it creates a 60/40 sativa-dominant hybrid that delivers the best of both worlds: the soaring, creative high of a sativa with the physical relaxation of an indica. **Effects & Medical Use:** The high begins with a sharp, cerebral rush that induces intense euphoria and mental clarity. This is followed by a gentle, relaxing body buzz that doesn't lead to sedation. It's excellent for daytime use, promoting creativity, focus, and social engagement. Medically, it's valued for combating stress, depression, and fatigue, while also stimulating appetite. **Cultivation Notes:** G13 Haze plants tend to stretch significantly during flowering, requiring some height management. They produce dense, resin-coated buds with a flowering time of about 10 weeks. Growers can expect high yields of top-quality flowers with proper care.
