The seeds are too expensive for me.

That's definitely another reason I don't believe his G13 is real. Nevil has said it wasn't a heavy yielder. Plus his original story was he paid Double D $10k for the clone then years later claimed Jim Ortega sold it to him. Double D seemed kind of pissed about it too, don't really know much about the guy just read the threads way back.

There was definitely some controversy surrounding the legitimacy and origins of his G13. My buddy from whom I got my greenthumb bubba og cut from also paid the big bucks for the G13 seeds. I was unimpressed with his first run and decided not to run it in my garden. It definitely yielded big but the smell and flavor were not to my liking. Also it looked and smelled nothing like the G13 cut I used to run in the late 90's in the Tacoma area. Not that I can claim my old cut was authentic but I sure liked it better.
i grew the original G13 from seeds straight from Nevil in the late 1980’s.........it was a monster yielder. I’ve seen pic’s of it from Dr. GreenThumb growers in the last few years and it was damn close to what I grew. I think it’s very close........ but remember the original Nevil g13 was hybridized with 1-2 other things like hash plant and maybe one of the northern lights. There was always more than 1 version if you check the Seed Bank catalog.

And I'm not bashing greenthumbs G13. It definitely lived up to all the yield hype from back then. I knew other people in my circle that got the cut and were really happy with it. It just wasn't to my personal likings

Interesting to hear this. There's a very rare g13 cut that's been going around this island for quite a few years and she is true dick-in-the-dirt weed with an above average yield. Rumors have been she's either Canadian or Australian in origin, makes sense now with the stories seen here. Want to get my hands on her now.

I have read all i have seen posted on line over the past 20 plus years on the G13 and not one person posted the G13 or its hybrids Yielded big.
In my conversations with Nevil about the G13 he also said it didn't yield big and if any of the G13 hybrids were going to yield big it would be the G13/Haze.
I kinda gave up on all the myths sales and marketing of cannabis lines long ago seams a good story and few myths sells.
The way i see it its good or its not and charging people $100s for a seed is insulting.

If you want the genetics for breeding or a mother plant, it’s not much at all. I’m not defending him, just saying........ I regularly see clones going for $1000. If you want it, you pay.
And you better check again........ I’ve read numerous grow diaries that claim it was a monster yielder. Even Dr. Greenthumb states it’s the biggest, and heaviest yielding plant available today anywhere.

Why he isn't popular?
His website looks straight out of the beginning of the internet era. Nobody trusts that nowadays.
You can't even order online. You need to print out a paper, mark what you want, calculate yourself what you need. Put it into an envelop with cash and send it through the mail.
Many stories who doubt that his genetics are real.
Many stories about people not getting their seeds.
Many stories about what a horrible person he is to deal with. That is if he even replies to you at all.
His seeds are not available on any other seedbank.

I spoke to Nevil him self about the G13 i also have 2 of the last hybrids Nevil made with the real G13 before the clone died i got from Shanti.
This is a grow of the test seed G13/Sk from shanti i showed Nevil these and he told me they look just like the G13 he had.
These plants did not yield big but what did come off them i call the strongest indica i ever smoked .
I hear you......I'm looking at Nevil's The Seed Bank catalog from 1990 which states:
1. G13 X Hash Plant yield averages 100 grams per plant
2. G13 X N.L #2 plant yields 125 grams on average
I grew these for 2 years in 1989 and 1990 and they yielded very, very well. I guess everyone has different results, depending on their style of grow, how much light, how long they veg, etc. But to say they are average or worse yielders is plain wrong.
I'd tell everyone not to listen to anyone and just grow it out once and make your own decision. Dr. Greenthumb now charges $200 for 5 seeds, not 2. And there's plenty of hybrids out there by many breeders that are worth while too.

As usual for all the trash talking people who do not want people to buy Dr.Gs gear I will be SURE to spend several hundred on his seeds this year just to make sure i DO NOT buy your hater infused garbage. Mad because he won't be your "buddy" on emails. As with TNF I am sure the plants will be smack down fire. Haters gonna hate esp on this site. Cavemen and geniuses.Lots of jealous haters I see tho. Sickening really and steers me away from cannabis websites. Some of you REALLY ARE MISERABLE SCUM.

ganj on.....

Yeh right... either that, OR we're just reporting the actual results we had.
Does numerous of peoples experiences posted online doesn't mean anything? Or is it that we can't have an opinion of ourselves?
Or is it maybe that you can't stand any negative reports about your idol? Lol
