Mr. Nice G13 x Hash Plant has an interesting story. It is about a famous British hashish smuggler and author.

According to legend, the G13 was a mother plant that was part of a secret US government project. The aim was to breed a giant cannabis plant from Afghan genetics.

Later, G13 seeds were stolen by an employee of the project and made available to the public. He probably saw dollars in his mind's eye. We don't know whether this is true or not. However, G13 is very popular in the cannabis breeding community.

Sensi Seeds has tried to develop new genetics. These genetics should have the same characteristics as their predecessors. The resin-rich Indica G13 and the award-winning Hash Plant were used.

The Hash Plant also originates from Afghanistan. The result is nothing less than the stickiest Afghani plant to be found on the market. It now sets the standard for hash production.
