88G13 HP x NL1
Also known as: 8G13 HP x NL1
Overview
88G13 HP x NL1 is a mostly indica-dominant cannabis strain bred by Coastal Seed Co., representing a cross between the legendary 88 G13 Hash Plant and Northern Lights #1. This strain showcases an impressive genetic lineage derived from classic breeding stock that traces back to Nevil Schoenmakers' work at The Seed Bank in the late 1980s. The 88 G13 Hash Plant parent derives from Mr. Nice's G13 x Hash Plant, which according to breeding records was actually created by crossing Hash Plant to Northern Lights #1 males, then breeding those males to G13 females - creating a pure indica hybrid with no sativa influence. Northern Lights #1, the other parent, is a pure Afghani inbred line that was part of the original 11 Northern Lights phenotypes developed in the Pacific Northwest during the 1970s and 1980s.
This strain produces compact, resinous buds with the characteristic dense structure typical of its Afghani heritage. The plant exhibits classic indica growth patterns with short, stocky stature and broad-leafed foliage. 88G13 HP x NL1 is known for its exceptional resin production and terpene density, making it highly valued for both consumption and breeding purposes. The strain flowers relatively quickly at 63-70 days and can be cultivated successfully both indoors and outdoors, though it performs particularly well in controlled indoor environments. As a representation of old-school genetics, this strain embodies the potency and reliability that made these foundational lines legendary in cannabis breeding circles.

Growing Information
88G13 HP x NL1 is considered moderate in growing difficulty and is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. The strain has a flowering time of 63-70 days, which is relatively quick for an indica. Plants exhibit classic indica structure with short, stocky growth and dense, resinous bud development. Indoor cultivation is preferred for optimal control, with recommended temperatures between 68-77°F (20-25°C) during the day and slightly cooler at night. Humidity should be maintained at 40-50% during vegetative growth and reduced to 30-40% during flowering to prevent mold. The strain responds well to training techniques like LST (Low Stress Training) and produces good yields when grown properly. Regular seeds are available, providing both male and female plants for breeding purposes.
