Hp13
Hash Plant × (potentially G13)
HP13 is an indica-leaning cultivar with a reputation for dense, resin-rich flowers and a distinct hash-forward aroma. It is deeply rooted in the old-school hash plant gene pool, prized for its resin production efficiency and tranquil, body-centered effects.
Appearance
HP-13 plants are typically short to medium in height, characterized by tight internode spacing and broad, dark green leaves. They develop thick calyxes that form compact, heavy buds with a dense frosting of trichomes. Mature flowers often display deep green hues, contrasting with copper or rust-orange pistils, and a favorable calyx-to-leaf ratio.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of HP-13 is predominantly hash-forward, layered with notes of spice, incense, and damp earth. Many expressions carry a savory garlic or onion undertone, complemented by hints of cedar, black pepper, and pine resin. When ground, a faint diesel or rubber scent may emerge. The flavor profile mirrors the aroma, featuring spicy hash, toasted peppercorns, and woody incense on the inhale, with pine and savory notes lingering on the exhale.
Effects
HP-13 is known for delivering a tranquil, body-centered effect profile, making it a popular choice for nighttime use. Consumers report a calming sensation that centers on the body. While not explicitly detailed as a primary effect, some users may experience enhanced focus.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
HP-13 typically exhibits dominant terpenes such as myrcene and caryophyllene, often supported by humulene and limonene. The total terpene content is frequently reported in the range of 1.5–3.0% by weight. THC levels generally fall between 16-21%, with CBD content below 1%.
Growing
HP-13 is noted for its efficiency in resin production and a comparatively short flowering time, commonly around 7–9 weeks indoors. It exhibits a modest stretch of 1.2–1.5x after the light cycle flip. The strain's compact structure and dense bud development benefit from selective defoliation to improve airflow. It performs well in high-density setups like Sea of Green (SOG) and also in single-plant SCROG configurations.
Origins & Lineage
HP-13 is widely believed to be a selection from the old-school Hash Plant gene pool, likely originating from Afghan Hash Plant lines. Some oral histories suggest a potential connection or influence from G13 genetics through backcrosses or phenotype selections, though this is not universally verified. Its precise pedigree is somewhat ambiguous, contributing to its mystique among connoisseurs.
