G13 is a indica-leaning cannabis strain with a sweet earth, sandalwood, light pine on the back profile, 20-24% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene. It is best known for deep evening, the heaviest session, with effects setting in fast, 3-4 minutes, classic heavy stone. Terp Bros NYC stocks G13-family cuts and similar terpene profiles across both our Astoria and Ozone Park CAURD-licensed locations, lab-tested under NY OCM Part 113 standards.
Effects + Reported Use Cases
G13 is typically reported as a indica-leaning experience: deep evening, the heaviest session. Onset is fast, 3-4 minutes, classic heavy stone. Duration runs 2 to 4 hours when inhaled, longer when consumed as edibles or rosin gummies. The cannabinoid + terpene profile drives the felt experience, not just the THC number on the label.
Terp Bros sells adult-use cannabis for adults 21 and older, and nothing here is medical advice or a treatment claim. What our budtenders will do is explain the terpene and cannabinoid profile, talk through the aroma and the reported feel, and help match a product format and dose to the kind of session you have in mind. Every product is lab-tested with a certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page.
Terpene Profile
What each terpene is and how it behaves is covered in our terpene guide. Below is what they do in this cultivar.
G13 is built on a dominant terpene stack of myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene, which together produce the sweet earth, sandalwood, light pine on the back aroma profile customers recognize across batches. Terpene-led recommendations are how our budtenders walk new customers off "biggest THC number wins" thinking and into picking a strain that actually matches the feeling they want.
Myrcene
In G13 specifically, myrcene contributes body-relaxing, heavy, classic indica-feel.
Caryophyllene
In G13 specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Pinene
In G13 specifically, pinene contributes focus-supporting, fresh, clean on the chest.
Lineage + Genetics
G13 traces back to Unknown landrace indica (rumored Afghani lineage), with a documented origin story rooted in Rumored origin: US government research facility in Mississippi (1960s-70s), released into the underground market by an unnamed grower, the romance of the lineage is part of the appeal. The flowering time runs 8-9 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
we tell the G13 origin story honestly, the government-research angle is folklore but the genetics are real, and the modern G13 phenotypes deliver a classic heavy indica regardless of where they actually came from. That observation is the kind of pattern only a store with foot traffic in a specific neighborhood can identify. The Astoria walk-in crowd is different from the Ozone Park walk-in crowd, and both are different from a Manhattan dispensary's customer base.
How to Try G13 in Queens
Ask at either counter for the current batch and its certificate of analysis: Astoria, 36-10 Ditmars Blvd or Ozone Park, 135-26 Cross Bay Blvd. Same-day delivery covers most of Queens. Formats: flower, pre-rolls, vapes, concentrates, edibles (NY OCM caps edibles at 10mg THC per serving, 100mg per package). When a cultivar is out of stock we say so and point to the closest terpene profile on the live menu.
Is G13 a daytime or evening strain? Yes for most customers. G13's myrcene + caryophyllene terpene dominance combined with the indica-leaning lineage makes it one of our requested evening strains. Pair it with a low-dose CBN-blend gummy for full evening wind-down support.
Does G13 cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. G13 contains caryophyllene (peppery, grounding) which tend to read calmer than racy. Start with a small dose if you are sensitive to cannabis, and ask a budtender if 1:1 THC:CBD versions of this strain family are in stock.
What is the THC percentage of G13? G13 typically tests in the 20-24% THC range across NY-licensed cultivators. The exact percentage varies by batch and cultivator, every Terp Bros NYC flower jar has the certificate of analysis on the package and on the Dutchie product page. CBD is typically less than 1% in this cultivar.
Is G13 safe for first-time cannabis customers? G13 is one of the friendlier strains for first-time customers because the body-heavy effect tends to be physically grounding rather than anxiety-provoking. Start with a small dose, and have a low-key evening plan, this is not a strain for active social settings.
