Cabernet
Overview
Cabernet is a balanced hybrid strain developed by Brothers In Farms, representing approximately 55% indica and 45% sativa genetics. The strain emerged as a standout in the modern cannabis landscape through meticulous breeding that merged traditional expertise with contemporary genetic refinement. The exact parentage remains proprietary to the breeder, though it was carefully selected based on robustness and complementary terpene profiles to ensure consistency across generations. This strain is particularly notable for its unique processing method, where some cultivators age the buds in vats of high-quality Cabernet sauvignon wine, which imparts distinctive sweet and spicy flavors reminiscent of fine dry wine. The strain presents dense, frosty buds that are medium to large in size, adorned with a thick layer of trichomes and bright orange to deep red pistils that hint at its wine-inspired namesake. Cabernet has gained recognition for its sophisticated aromatic profile and balanced effects, making it sought after by both recreational users and medical patients seeking a well-rounded cannabis experience.

Growing Information
Cabernet can be cultivated both indoors and outdoors with a flowering time of approximately 8-9 weeks (55-65 days). Indoor yields are typically 1-2 oz per square foot, while outdoor plants can produce 10-15 oz per plant. The strain reaches heights of 30-60 inches and requires moderate attention during cultivation. Plants show good resistance to mold and pests, and respond well to training techniques. The strain benefits from proper drying (7-10 days) and curing (2-4 weeks) to preserve its distinctive aromatic profile. Harvest timing is crucial, with optimal cannabinoid and terpene development occurring when most pistils have darkened.
