Hey,I grow outdoors in MA.,been at it since the 90's,i grew 3 P Butter Herijuana ,2 Laughing Lion ,and Frostberry and I won't say they sucked but they were not the stars of my last harvest which included 12 other strains. The plants were pretty uniform so work went into the lines and the LLion( a Chemdog/LA Conf.) cross (I chase CDog strain/crosses) was my fav out of the 3,was my first L13 foray and I expected better seeing they are Canada based and breed for the shorter season,can't fairly say what they do indoors.

Thanks for sharing your experience with Lucky 13. Yeah, I got a pack of the Peanut Butter Herijuana, a pack of Romulan, and a pack of Angel 98. I was looking for some good sleep strains, and I thought I had read someone here talk the PBH up, and then just ordered the others to get free shipping.
I don't do outdoors, and am only allowed four plants, so it might be next year before I try them. So, just curious, what did you grow last harvest that you did consider the stars of last crop?

I have grown some decent stuff from L13 but I'm not a fan of their practice of crossing a bunch of current day strains and selling them under the name of old classics.
Their Skunk #1 has some good phenos but it is NOT Skunk #1.
Their Romulan that I grew isn't even close to the description of actual Romulan.
Plus they have some pure bullshit in their blogs. If you don't like feminized seeds, fine, but don't tell straight up lies about them.
TLDR:they have some decent genetics, but I won't buy from them again.

Thanks H.G., sounds like I will have to see and then decide whether to be a repeat customer. I don't know all the genetics and their history, so I am often reading to find out what is good, and what isn't. I have more seeds now than I will be able to grow for a few years now, and hope I find strains and phenotypes that work for me. I'm sure I've wasted a few dollars along the way here, but I'm a sucker when someone on this site yells "fire" for something they've grown.
I expected more from the PBH,which they bill as extreme potency,plants were pretty uniform though,Frostberry is supposed to be EARLY,w/nice color,they were R seeds,I had a male show sacs in early June,a F bolt like it was a auto,and the other F didn't impress. A Barney's Mimosa/O Punch was really nice, Mass Med Chem/Pupil showed decent potential, and some strains from a breeder everybody hates here that I won't get into mentioning C.Milk,Rotten RKill,Banana Pudding all stacked some thick decent bud. I had a lot of clones in a sea o green that got PM that I had to chuck is what sucked last season,never had PM issues like that in 30+ yrs.,never know,always learn. I'm in MA near the coast, and plan specifically to pull the plug by 1st week into Oct.,if things can't finish up by then the weather won't co-operate,if it doesn't get rainy/windy,nasty in gen. by 2nd week of Oct. it is rare so 8 wks flower is the plan,though some strains that were said to take longer have finished up reasonably well. As for seeds,I've got a tupperware in the crisper FULL of packs only 1/3 to /1/2 used,swear I'm not going to add for the next yr. and NEVER hold to it

Well, at least it seems you have little to no restrictions on plant count. I have plenty of seeds, and more than ill be able to grow.

Your more than welcome, OH I have restrictions alright, but I'm a rebel on this issue, I've grown when serious trouble was in store until 2016 ,and NOW w/7-8 WEED stores within a mile and a half from my home (even more in the whole city) there's no way in hell I'm growing just 6 plants outdoors when seeing the greed.golden goose mentality of pols who have way oversaturated the market w/their salacious pursuit of tax revenue. My city of 95K has more Dispensaries than Mac Donald's , plus I checked the laws (misdemeanor) and the fine for cultivating up to 50 lbs.(and I'm not even growing 10 lbs.) is $500.00 and 6 mos. unsupervised prob. and record expunged upon completion,plus there is so much crime the police are undermanned.overwhelmed and don't think they care. I don't believe I'm alone on this stand either. That said I'm law abiding in every other facet of life, am almost 60, and have a clean record.

Yes, the legal weed here has saturated the market, and so legal stuff is quite cheap. We also have more weed stores than Mcdonalds and Tim Hortons combined. Electricity isn't cheap, but I'd rather grow my own, and do it discreetly. I don't need the hassle of nosy neighbors, so I don't grow outdoors. Same with the cops here. Either too busy, but more likely priorities have changed. Crystal meth and fentanyl are bigger problems to tackle, weed is not a big deal anymore.
I hear ya,TOO many licences granted,I been confounded w/ the cost to grow licensed indoors cost wise +(building,utilities,staff,products)and then wholesale to a licensed retailer and their overhead w/all that cost involved (building,staff,etc) and the competition and see the viability financially w/prices I see.

I don't do Facebook or IG. Guess I'm sol.
ME neither, DRAMA, Fbook Mktplace loaded w/ scams, glad this shit didn't exist in my teens/20-30's the pressure w/everybody wanting to be a star/influencer/whatever is troubling. Many young live this and are depressed (seems teen girls especially) and what happened to being reserved? , or privacy for that matter? I've seen mothers dressing their 9-12 yo daughters provocatively and literally pimping them out on platforms for $$$$,KNOWING the $$$$ comes from middle age perverted(some sex offenders) men, WTF.
