XJ-13 is a sativa-leaning cannabis strain with a lemon, pine, sweet spicy citrus on the exhale profile, 17-22% THC range, and a dominant terpene blend of terpinolene, caryophyllene, pinene. It is best known for conversational social, deep-focus creative, the smooth daytime sativa pick, with effects setting in fast, 3-4 minutes, clean cerebral peak with light body warmth. Terp Bros NYC stocks XJ-13-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
XJ-13 is typically reported as a sativa-leaning experience: conversational social, deep-focus creative, the smooth daytime sativa pick. Onset is fast, 3-4 minutes, clean cerebral peak with light body warmth. 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.
XJ-13 is built on a dominant terpene stack of terpinolene, caryophyllene, pinene, which together produce the lemon, pine, sweet spicy citrus on the exhale 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.
Terpinolene
In XJ-13 specifically, terpinolene contributes cerebral, racy, classic sativa-style head energy.
Caryophyllene
In XJ-13 specifically, caryophyllene contributes peppery, warm, grounding on the body.
Pinene
In XJ-13 specifically, pinene contributes focus-supporting, fresh, clean on the chest.
Lineage + Genetics
XJ-13 traces back to Jack Herer crossed with G13 Haze, with a documented origin story rooted in California, early 2000s, cherished as a connoisseur sativa for the Jack Herer x G13 Haze lineage. The flowering time runs 9-10 weeks, which puts it in the standard commercial-cultivar window most NY indoor growers are working with.
Budtender Notes, Queens-Specific Observations
XJ-13 is what we hand to the customer who says "I want a Jack Herer but I want it less anxious", the G13 Haze side smooths the racy edge. 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 XJ-13 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 XJ-13 a daytime or evening strain? Daytime-leaning. XJ-13's terpene profile (terpinolene + caryophyllene) reads more alert than restful. For a quieter, heavier evening profile, ask the budtender about myrcene + linalool indica options.
Does XJ-13 cause anxiety? Less likely than high-terpinolene sativas. XJ-13 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 XJ-13? XJ-13 typically tests in the 17-22% 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 XJ-13 safe for first-time cannabis customers? XJ-13 runs 17-22% THC and can feel intense for first-time customers, especially in flower or pre-roll format. We recommend first-time customers start with a 2.5mg edible or a single inhale from a vape, and work up only after seeing how the strain feels at the lower dose.
