There probably isn't a strain surrounded by more paranoid folklore than G13. The legend goes that it was a government-bred super indica ripped straight from a federal research facility at the University of Mississippi back in the 60s or 70s. Whether you buy into the government myth or not, the original G13 was a legendary clone-only female that landed in the hands of heavyweights like Neville Schoenmaker in the 80s. But here’s the catch: because there was never a pure G13 male, you can't actually get "pure" G13 in seed form. Every single seed claiming the name is a hybrid, built off that original mother.
Seedsman's G13 Skunk is a perfect time capsule of that golden era of breeding. They took that original G13 mother cut and crossed her directly with Sam the Skunkman’s Skunk #1. The result is a heavy, dense, classic indica-dominant plant that brings together the massive, devastating potency of the G13 with the incredible stability and funky yield of the Skunk. You're looking at old-school Afghan hash aromas violently cut with that unmistakable, eye-watering skunky roadkill funk.
Over on MrNice and the original Overgrow forums, veteran growers still talk about the hunt for the perfect descendant phenotype. Since the original G13 mother lost her vigor and passed away years ago, these descendant hybrids are the only real way to experience those genetics. It grows like an absolute tank, throwing down dense, resin-caked colas that finish relatively quick. It's the kind of heavy, couch-locking smoke that immediately reminds you what high-grade weed felt like before everything on the shelf became a sweet dessert strain.

Growing G13 Skunk: what to expect
As an indica-leaning plant, expect a modest stretch after the flip (roughly 50–100%) and dense bud structure — which makes late-flower humidity discipline the main risk: keep RH in the 40s once buds fatten to stay ahead of mold. Growers familiar with G-13 or Skunk Nr1 will recognize much of its behavior. Whatever the listing says, the cut in YOUR tent is the ground truth: log feedings, readings, and photos, and let the trends — not the label — drive decisions.
