U-dub... brother, I have been searching for this since we lost it in 97. Billy Weed is in the house! I gave away hundreds of cuttings in the 80's. When Ken got this sick clone from Billy, who knew what a fire storm it would cause. I will be watching and lurking. Right fuckin on. Oh buy the way, AlienBoy chops again. 12 double Koosh and 3 Green manalishis. This joint rocks!!
I too lost her a few years ago. I grew if from 84 to 94-95, LEO came through and I had to rip everything up.
They were literally on my porch on walkie talkies calling in for a search warrant. I could hear them through the door.
I yanked everything up and slid out the backdoor, loaded 5-6 full 55 gallon garbage bags into my ford stationwagon and drove down the alley to my freedom. Why they didnt secure the backdoor still befuddles me.
Anyways, got it back from an old school grower up by Maple Valley about 5 years ago. Its the real deal...just as I remembered her.
From what i understand the name was changed to G-13 at some point. The source is a busy azz right now setting up a seed company,maybe we'll get some comments on it some day. I still don't think my feet have hit the ground,still floatin from the good news.
Yes Mota, been very busy, but never too busy to drop in on a friend.
This G-13 I have was known back in the early 80's as U-dub. I just saw some new school U-dub purple yesterday at the Farmers market in Seattle.
It is two different strains...nothing similar at all.
The real U-dub( I will call her G-13 from now on since everyone else knows her as that now), finishes with a light, lime green color tone in the bud. No purple or dark hues what so ever.
Also, the real G-13 is Sativa Dom. I know Im going to hear lots of counters and arguments on this, but where is the source coming from....did they have and smoke the REAL thing back in the early 80's ?
I did and I clearly remember her. I ran her and a purple they now call Grand Daddy Purple for over 10 years in hydro at the time. Back then, she was just called Purps.
As for the G-13, she is not a real heavy producer and is somewhat harder to work with because of her thinner branches. They all need to be supported in early flower, even before flowering sets in if you are familiar with the strain.
She tends to be a touch on the leafy side, more so in colder temps.
What makes her shine is her resin production and the layers of trichomes she puts on, even on alot of the bigger fan leaves.
I think this was intentional in the making of her to be a government cigarette weed. More leaf equals easier to manufactor rollable product.
She finishes fast. 49-53 days in my garden but can be pushed another week for more of a body effect.
Typically more of a heady weed, most likely because of the Sativa influence. and the taste is very unique.
Grapefruit and citrus tasting, even more than most strains named grapefruit.
The taste starts off like grapefruit, but ends with a hash after tone. Simple and complex if that makes any sense.
She is one you do not want too feed too deep into flower. She fades nicely and if flushed properly, the rewards are legendary.
Theres a reason G-13 (aka U-dub) is a legend.
Once Motta does his magic with her, the reviews will speak for themselves.
