What is XJ-13?
Leafly lists XJ-13 (also XJ13 or XJ Thirteen) as a hybrid of Jack Herer and G13 Haze. Weedmaps gives a more detailed origin: Orange County Patient Care in Santa Ana pollinated a G-13 female with a Jack Herer male, then crossed the result back to Jack Herer to push it sweeter, brighter and further toward the sativa side. AllBud also names Jack Herer and G-13 and calls it an even 50/50 hybrid.
Weedmaps says the original Southern California cut is clone-only, and reports that XJ-13 took bronze for Best Sativa at the 2012 High Times Cannabis Cup and silver for Best Concentrate in 2014.
Look, smell and taste
Leafly describes a consistently strong citrus aroma accented by earthy pine, and its reviewers most often pick citrus, pine and lime. Weedmaps lists lemon peel, sweet citrus, pine, herbs and a little spice over an earthy base, and says some cuts smell almost like citrus cleaner. AllBud describes a spicy, sweet taste with hints of lime and pine and a potent, funky, pungent smell.
Leafly's lab-sourced data lists terpinolene as the most abundant terpene, followed by caryophyllene and myrcene.
Effects people report
Leafly rates XJ-13 as mostly energizing and describes a euphoric buzz with clear cerebral effects that get creativity and conversation going; its reviewers most often report feeling creative, uplifted and energetic. Weedmaps describes a fast, upbeat head change followed by a calmer body feel, with creative, social and focused reports common, and AllBud says the high kicks in almost immediately.
Dry mouth, feeling anxious and dry eyes are the most common complaints on Leafly, so start with a small amount. Do not drive after using it: Canada's lower-risk cannabis use guidelines advise waiting at least 6 hours.
THC and potency
Leafly lists XJ-13 at about 20% THC and rates it above average, AllBud gives 22%, and Weedmaps a range of 18% to 25%. THC varies by grower and batch, so check the lab-tested number on the label rather than relying on any listing.
Similar strains
Its main parent, Jack Herer, appears in every source, and Weedmaps and AllBud name G13 as the other side (Leafly says G13 Haze). Weedmaps lists Trainwreck among the most similar strains, along with Durban Poison, Super Silver Haze, Jilly Bean and Cinderella 99, and Leafly lists Vanilla Lime as an XJ-13 offspring.
