What is the most potent strain of marijuana right now?

G-13 is a strong (i.e. potent) strain of Cannabis that is the subject of marijuana urban legends.[1]
There are rumors that the University Of Mississippi[1] and/or the University of Washington were involved in the development of this strain. However, the University Of Mississippi study was completely unrelated; it was part of an international effort to properly classify Cannabis through research and information collection about its scientific and medicinal applications. No strains or hybrids were (reportedly) developed through this study.
It has been alleged that G-13 was created by government agencies such as the CIA and the FBI who focused on hybridizing different strands of marijuana from Michael Hallman in the 1970s. Supposedly, these organizations bred a strain of marijuana through hybridization that was more potent than any other. It also supposedly has a concentration of THC of 28% by weight, which is almost double the average amount of the chemical in most high-grade sinsemilla grown commercially. One story states that a single cutting of this potent strain was liberated from the government facility in Mississippi [2].
Although the man they call Michael Hallman assembled a world class cannabis collection during the late 1960s and early 1970s, there is no evidence that these researchers were ever involved in breeding high quality marijuana.[3]
More accepted stories state that a potent Afghani strain was most likely the basis for these rumors[1]; over time, the potent strain's qualities were exaggerated into the modern urban legends. Because the sale of marijuana is illegal in the United States, it is not monitored by the government; for this reason, it is common for vendors to exaggerate the qualities of their product, possibly accounting for the urban legends.
Many cultivators and distributors of the strain continue to claim that it was developed through government experiments as evidence of its high potency. Realistically, G-13's THC content could be anywhere between 10 and 19%, considering most strains of this name simply bear the name, not a particular set of genetic traits. Widely accepted facts about the original G-13 is that it is a slightly strong indica variety that did not gain popularity till the strain was found in the US; hinting that the strain is likely mediocre in potency.
G-13 is now commonly considered an urban legend referring to no particular strain of Cannabis; as the true genetic G-13 strain may no longer exist, but the urban legend lingers, obscuring any real truth that may reside.
Nice read. I guess that kind of shits on the whole g13 rumor lol

Seed depot claims that the seeds from joey seeds white russian are 22%. I'm curently growing a small batch of bag seeds to get some experience under my belt so I can grow something better without risking $200 on seeds that I can't grow. I like the sativa high as I can't stand to sit still for more than 20 minutes, so it helps keep me motivated when I'm working. I've been smoking for 25 years and stillfind a bag that will bring a prepetual smile to my face but it's usually $100 or more a quater.

Yea, a lot of people talk about white russian and white widow...but I wonder if their THC % claims can be taken at face value or if they're just trying to make a sale?

what difference does it make....

especially if you've just started growing... you are still going to get higher than before..... because im pretty sure you the shit you grow is way better than what is on the street


i thought you were supposed to learn how to crawl before you can walk, and walk before you run.

I doubt I will grow shit better than what I can get on the streets. Maybe it will be better than some of the cryp on the streets...but all of it? Granted, I haven't had any brand name shit for a while, the last brand name shit I had was bubblegum...or maybe red rhino and that was like 2 years ago. But some of the cryp around here is really good. It will be interesting to compare what I grow to the local shit.

Some of the local cryp is actually really shitty sometimes. I remember like 4 years ago I was getting this shit from the indian reservation[in the everglades] grown by this indian dude and his wife...I forgot the name of it now but it was FIRE. It literally smelled like fresh cut pine tree wood and it had all hues of green in it from light to dark green. Best part about it was you had to peel it off of the sack. It was so sticky it had to be peeled off of the inside of your bag and it would stick to glass, walls, whatever...I wish I could remember the fucking name of it...

I'm a new greenhouse convert. Arjan lists the THC percentages on his strains, and so many seem to be above 20%, which is about four times the concentration of the weed that I grew up with. I just bought 10 of Arjan's Ultra Haze #2, and I'm excited to get those girls in some dirt!

Anytime a breeder lists their THC content percentage, I would say that the truth is maybe 3/4 of their number... it's sales, so of course they're gonna exaggerate a bit.

That being said, I would have go with White Russian just from what I've read. Maybe G13, but I haven't heard much about that.

there is no "most potent" strain. Any strain has the potential, you jst need to know how to grow it well. Sure, some strains will noticabley flurish more than others due to good genetics, but if grown to full potential any strain can be da fukin bomb:joint:. For instance, if u start with some seeds you picked out of some schwaggy weed and put out a small "expiriment" crop, take the best, fastest growing, best lookin, most potent and stinky females, along with the best lookin and stinky males, put out a nice little seed crop fer next yeer. every yeer this strain will improve and and become more potent, as long as u grow them to full potential. I started with some low grade juicy fruit(not the real strain) and now ive got some of the best weed in new york state. I am only 15 but ive been at this longer than most of the people i meet at festivals or shows or other growers i know. out of the juicy fruit i grow i have produced strains like grape, speermint, purple tang, wich is a mix of the grape and speermint, some reel nice frosty stink i call jack frost and blueberry. these are all strains that have come out of the "juicy fruit" and are all jst names i gave them to make it my own. wen i see that a plant like the grape, i take it out of the pack and make a nice little seed crop out of it and then repeat the proccess as i described. And in after a seeson of outdoor and a nice crop over the winter in my basement, ive got a nice new strain for next yeer that becomes more pure over the seesons.:peace:
