What is the Abacus strain?
Abacus is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 0.3% THC, known for its relaxed effects and citrus and diesel flavor profile.
Abacus is an indica-dominant hybrid hemp strain that has become one of the most sought-after and respected CBD cultivars in the modern hemp industry. Originally created in the early 2000's in Northern California in Humboldt County, this strain was developed by breeder Nate Smith who was destined to create a high CBD cultivar to help people with specific ailments and illness in the state of California. Through careful selective breeding, beginning with two high THC cultivars (OG and Purple Urkle) and a landrace hemp cultivar, Nate began crossing and testing for multiple generations, using smell and flavor of both the leaves and flower. The result was a stable, high CBD genetic with beautiful purple colors and a terpene profile that rivals most other cannabis flower still to this day.
Abacus showcases distinctive visual characteristics with small but dense flowers that have a dark green color with beautiful lavender and purple shades. The strain features subtle purple hues and notes of citrus and gas that set this flower apart. Despite being available commercially only since 2017, Abacus has rapidly gained recognition for its therapeutic potential and exceptional terpene profile, establishing itself as one of only a few true indica-dominant hemp strains that excels in both quality and effect consistency.
