AC-DC 78
Also known as: ACDC 78, AC/DC 78, AC-DC-78
What is the AC-DC 78 strain?
AC-DC 78 is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 2.0% THC, known for its calm effects and berry and citrus flavor profile.
AC-DC 78 is a cannabis strain created by Green Bodhi that combines the legendary CBD-rich ACDC genetics with 78 Old School Affie. The lineage consists of (ACDC x 78 Old School Affie) x (ACDC x 78 Old School Affie), making it a backcrossed hybrid designed to stabilize the desirable traits of both parents. The strain features a flowering time of 65-72 days and produces a medium-high yield with flavors described as sweet berry, skunk, and pine. The ACDC parent is a special phenotype of the renowned Cannatonic strain, known for its exceptional CBD content that can surpass 20% while maintaining very low THC levels. ACDC was originally created by Northern California physician Dr. William Courtney in 2011, who acquired seeds from Barcelona and crossed them with Cannatonic and Ruderalis strains hoping they'd help with his wife's lupus.
This strain represents an equally balanced hybrid containing 50% indica and 50% sativa genetics. AC-DC 78 can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors, with plants requiring approximately 69 days of flowering time on average. The inclusion of the 78 Old School Affie genetics adds traditional Afghan indica characteristics to the CBD-dominant ACDC foundation, creating a strain that combines therapeutic benefits with increased resin production and distinctive flavor profiles. This breeding work by Green Bodhi represents an evolution of the classic ACDC genetics, maintaining the medicinal properties while introducing new aromatic and potentially structural characteristics from the Afghan lineage.

How do you grow AC-DC 78?
AC-DC 78 can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of 65-72 days (approximately 9-10 weeks). The strain produces medium-high yields and is available only as regular (non-feminized) seeds. Based on its ACDC heritage, this strain requires some skill and is not generally recommended for beginner growers, though it can be grown outdoors but is most commonly cultivated indoors. Plants tend to be bushy and can grow to around 4 feet tall with large buds and leaves that may show purple tinges. The strain is particular about temperature and climate, requiring indoor temperatures around 68-80°F with humidity levels less than 60% and ideally around 40%-50%. The Afghan genetics from the 78 Old School Affie parent may contribute to increased resin production and potentially more robust plant structure compared to standard ACDC varieties.
