G13ab X Burmese by Scott Family Farms
G13 × Burmese
G13ab x Burmese is an indica-leaning hybrid developed by Scott Family Farms, recognized for its thoughtful breeding approach. This cultivar combines a G13-derived lineage with Burmese genetics, aiming to balance profound relaxation with mental clarity. The result is a strain that offers both comfort and an uplifted disposition.
Appearance
G13ab x Burmese typically produces compact, sculpted buds resembling golf balls or eggs, characterized by a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Sugar leaves are often densely coated in trichomes, and under cooler temperatures, faint lavender hues may appear on the bracts. The plant's leaves are broad and dark green, indicative of its indica influence, with moderate internodal spacing making it amenable to shaping.
Trichome coverage is a notable feature, with glandular heads becoming prominent by mid-flower and forming a dense frost by harvest. Swollen, amber-tipped trichomes are common, aiding in determining optimal harvest time. Pistils usually begin as pale cream or sunset orange and deepen to copper as the plant matures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of G13ab x Burmese is a complex blend of earthy pine and sandalwood, overlaid with bright lime zest and subtle herbal spice. This foundation suggests a terpene profile rich in myrcene and caryophyllene, complemented by Burmese-derived terpinolene and limonene, which introduce citrus and herbaceous notes. As flowers cure, a sweet, resinous quality emerges, sometimes evoking candied citrus or ginger, with occasional hints of clove or anise.
On the palate, the strain delivers crisp lime and pine resin flavors, often with a smooth, creamy undertone reminiscent of sandalwood. A subtle herbal or slightly bitter quality, like bay leaf or clove, balances the sweetness. The exhale is typically hash-forward with earthy and pine notes, while some phenotypes may leave a zesty aftertaste akin to lime candy or lemongrass.
Effects
G13ab x Burmese is noted for providing a balanced experience, combining a sense of calm and relaxation with a gently uplifted and creative headspace. The indica-dominant heritage contributes to a comfortable, body-centric calm, while the Burmese influence offers a brighter, more dynamic mental state. This cultivar is often described as bridging the gap between deep relaxation and functional clarity.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific terpene profiles can vary, common aromatic compounds identified include Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Linalool, Pinene, Humulene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene. These contribute to the strain's complex aroma and flavor, ranging from earthy and piney to citrusy and spicy. Cannabinoid analysis typically places THC levels between 18-26%, with CBD content generally below 1%. Minor cannabinoids like CBG and CBC may also be present.
Growing
G13ab x Burmese is an indica-leaning hybrid that generally finishes within a classic indica flowering timeframe. It exhibits moderate internodal spacing and broad leaves, making it relatively easy to train. Phenotypic variation can occur, with some plants leaning more towards G13 morphology and others expressing Burmese traits. The breeder's focus on resin density and yield is often reflected in the plant's robust trichome production.
Origins & Lineage
Developed by Scott Family Farms, G13ab x Burmese is an indica-leaning hybrid resulting from a cross between a G13-derived cut (G13ab) and a Burmese landrace lineage. The G13 genetics are known for dense buds and sedative effects, often associated with myrcene-dominant profiles. The Burmese component typically contributes Southeast Asian vigor, brighter aromatics like citrus and spice, and terpenes such as terpinolene and limonene. This pairing aims to temper the heavy calm of G13 with the clarity and resilience of Burmese genetics.
