XJ-13 is a true Southern California clone-only variety, bred when the green thumbs at Orange County’s Patient Care in Santa Ana pollinated a G-13 female with pollen from a male Jack Herer (courtesy of Paradise Seeds), then re-pollinated a cutting of the new plant with Jack Herer again to give the strain a sweeter scent and more Sativa-dominant properties. Orange County’s Patient Care reports a sweet citrus aroma from XJ-13, with effects both energetic and stress-relieving. The strain won bronze for Best Sativa at the 2012 High Times’ Cannabis Cup and took silver for Best Concentrate in 2014.
