Op'13
Also known as: Op 13, Operation 13
Op'13 Strain Overview
Op'13, sometimes stylized as Operation 13, is a relatively rare cannabis strain that emerged from underground breeding circles in the early 2010s. Its exact origins are somewhat obscure, with breeders often citing it as a 'secret project' or 'underground op' that combined genetics from notable West Coast strains. The name itself is believed to reference its development as an 'operation' with the number 13 possibly indicating a batch or generation number, though this remains speculative. The strain gained a cult following among connoisseurs for its balanced effects and complex flavor profile, though it never achieved widespread commercial distribution.
The plant typically produces medium-sized, dense buds with a distinctive appearance characterized by dark green leaves interspersed with vibrant orange pistils and a generous coating of trichomes that gives the flowers a frosty, crystalline appearance. The buds often have a slightly elongated, conical structure with tight calyx formation. Op'13 is noted for its resin production, which makes it popular among extract artists and concentrate producers seeking flavorful material for processing.
What sets Op'13 apart is its reputation for providing a well-rounded experience that combines cerebral stimulation with physical relaxation. The strain has maintained a somewhat elusive status in the cannabis community, with limited seed availability and most circulation occurring through clone exchanges among dedicated growers. This scarcity has contributed to its mystique, though it also means that phenotypic variations can occur depending on the specific cut being cultivated.

Op'13 Strain Growing Information
Op'13 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain to cultivate, best suited for growers with some experience. The plant has a flowering time of approximately 8-10 weeks when grown indoors, with outdoor harvests typically ready in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. It adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments, though indoor cultivation allows for better control of its moderate height, which usually reaches 3-4 feet indoors and 5-6 feet outdoors. The strain responds well to training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and manage its somewhat bushy growth structure. Expected yields are moderate to high with proper care, producing approximately 14-18 ounces per square meter indoors. Op'13 prefers a stable environment with consistent temperatures and moderate humidity, particularly during flowering to prevent mold in its dense buds. The plant benefits from regular nutrient feeding but can be sensitive to overfeeding, requiring careful monitoring.
