Written by Ad OpsOrigins and Breeding History of Abacus
Abacus is widely recognized as a modern, CBD-dominant hemp cultivar developed to deliver "gas-forward" aromatics reminiscent of legacy diesel cannabis, while maintaining legal compliance under the 0.3% total THC threshold. Breeding work associated with Abacus emerged from Colorado’s hemp boom between 2016 and 2018, a period when compliant cultivars were being rapidly stabilized for both smokable flower and extract markets. Growers sought a cultivar that could marry eye-catching coloration, dense bag appeal, and a terpene profile competitive with THC varieties. Abacus became a standout by reliably producing deep purple hues, strong resin density, and a pungent bouquet that consumers often associate with classic Kush and Diesel expressions.
Early-generation Abacus lines were refined through rigorous selection for heavy resin, tight internodal spacing, and above-average terpene content while keeping total THC in check. Breeding programs typically evaluated hundreds of individuals across multiple filial generations, culling phenotypes that drifted toward high THCa expression. By 2019, field reports and certificates of analysis (COAs) began to show consistent CBD-dominant chemotypes with CBD:THC ratios in the 20:1 to 30:1 range. This stability allowed Abacus to scale from boutique indoor runs to multi-acre outdoor production without frequent compliance risks.
A major reason for Abacus’s quick adoption was market fit: a smokable hemp flower that looked, smelled, and handled like top-shelf craft cannabis. In retail settings, Abacus batches routinely commanded a premium over less aromatic hemp because of visual appeal and a heavier terpene punch. Between 2019 and 2022, smokable hemp as a category expanded rapidly, with some states reporting year-over-year growth exceeding 100% for premium flower SKUs. Abacus consistently rode that wave by offering both extractors and flower buyers a cultivar that “feels” like classic cannabis in every way except intoxication.
Although breeders vary in their origin stories, growers generally agree Abacus was selected from lines that carry indica-leaning structure and color expression. The cultivar’s predictable anthocyanin production under cooler nights became a signature trait and a marketing differentiator. Over successive seasons, cultivators found that Abacus often kept its color, aroma, and compliance even in challenging outdoor conditions. That combination has cemented its status as a flagship in the CBD hemp space.
The Abacus name has since anchored several spin-offs, including Cherry Abacus and Abacus Diesel, which aim to accentuate either fruit-forward or fuel-forward aromatic pathways. These derivatives highlight the original line’s versatility in breeding programs. Collectively, the Abacus family has helped redefine consumer expectations for hemp, proving that compliant flower can achieve terpene intensities above 2.0% by weight when grown and cured correctly. Today, the Abacus strain remains a reference point for gas-heavy, CBD-dominant flower that satisfies aroma-driven connoisseurs.
Genetic Lineage and Related Cultivars
The exact lineage of Abacus is often discussed in breeder circles, but the consensus is that it descends from lines selected for indica-leaning architecture and purple coloration, then stabilized against elevated THCa expression. In practical terms, that means Abacus exhibits compact internodes, dense calyx stacking, and strong lateral branching. While some marketing materials allude to heritage flavors associated with OG and Diesel families, the documented lineage in public COAs focuses more on chemotype stability than on precise THC-era parentage. This is common in hemp breeding, where the end goal is compliance and uniformity rather than preserving THC-type pedigrees.
Two notable relatives in the Abacus ecosystem are Cherry Abacus and Abacus Diesel. Cherry Abacus lines tend to emphasize sweet-red-fruit volatiles while keeping the original’s gassy backbone. Abacus Diesel, as the name implies, pushes the fuel, skunk, and rubber notes into the foreground, often testing at the higher end of total terpene content for compliant hemp. Growers report that these related cultivars preserve the CBD-dominant chemotype and comparable flowering timelines of the parent line.
From a chemotype perspective, Abacus typically lands in Type III (CBD-dominant) with CBD:THC ratios commonly in the 20:1 to 30:1 band. In field trials, compliant phenotypes usually exhibit Total THC between 0.18% and 0.29%, depending on harvest timing and environment. Total CBD commonly ranges 14% to 18% in top-shelf indoor, with outdoor runs more often settling in the 12% to 16% range. This consistency is a hallmark of a stabilized hemp cultivar and a reason Abacus is regularly recommended to new growers seeking low-risk compliance.
Breeding programs frequently backcross Abacus to amplify color expression and the terpene profile without sacrificing cannabinoid ratios. Because purple coloration is polygenic and environmental, breeders typically select across multiple generations to ensure anthocyanin expression is not lost. In production, that manifests as a cultivar that reliably fades purple in the final two to three weeks of flower under 60–65°F (15.6–18.3°C) night temperatures. This heritable tendency makes Abacus valuable for crossing with less colorful CBD lines.
For extractors and seed companies, Abacus also serves as a functional donor for resin density and trichome coverage. Test batches often show trichome head size consistent with premium THC cultivars, which improves rosin yields and solventless processing efficiency. In hydrocarbon extractions, Abacus derivatives frequently produce high-terpene extracts with total terpene levels surpassing 8% by weight in finished sauce. That performance has helped push the broader Abacus family into both flower and concentrate portfolios.
Morphology and Visual Appearance
Abacus plants typically grow medium-short to medium in stature, with indoor heights of 0.8–1.2 meters and outdoor heights of 1.8–2.5 meters when un-topped. The structure is bushy and symmetrical, with vigorous lateral branches that can require trellising by week 4 of flower. Internodal spacing averages 3–6 centimeters on upper branches, tightening under high light intensity and optimized VPD. Cola development is compact, and calyces stack densely, producing heavy, golf-ball to soda-can sized tops.
A signature trait of Abacus is its striking coloration. Under cool nights below 65°F (18.3°C), leaves and bracts transition to deep plum and violet, sometimes nearly black in the final week. Anthocyanin expression is more pronounced in phenotypes with thinner leaf blades and tighter bud structure. Trichomes tend to be abundant and glassy, with a frost level that reads as high-end in the jar.
Leaf morphology leans indica with broad fingers and a slightly drooping posture late in the day. Petioles are sturdy, and stems lignify early, helping plants hold weight without excessive staking. Fan leaves often fade from dark green to lavender hues as nitrogen is pulled during late bloom. Pistils begin white and abundant, turning orange and rust as the plant approaches maturity.
Dried flowers present exceptionally well. Buds are dense, medium to large, and often show black-cherry and royal purple tones against a silver trichome sheen. Trimmed flower commonly tests at water activity between 0.55 and 0.62 when properly cured, contributing to a crisp, snappy break without overdrying. The visual appeal consistently ranks as a top selling point in consumer-facing markets.
Growers should note that Abacus’s dense cola structure benefits from strong airflow to prevent microclimate humidity spikes. Inline fans, oscillating fans, and strategic defoliation reduce the risk of Botrytis in the final three weeks. When environmental targets are maintained, bud rot incidents are low, and whole colas can be taken without losses. This resilience makes Abacus a friendly choice for growers stepping up from greenhouse to indoor production.
Aroma and Bouquet
Abacus is prized for an aroma profile that leans heavily into diesel, fuel, and dark berry. Initial jar opens often reveal volatile notes of gas and rubber, followed by blackberry, currant, and a subtle floral lift. As the flower breathes, deeper layers emerge—earth, pepper, and resinous pine—suggesting a terpene backbone anchored by myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and humulene. Many connoisseurs describe the nose as "90s diesel meets berry kush" with a modern polish.
Total terpene content is frequently reported between 1.5% and 2.5% by weight in well-grown indoor Abacus. Outdoor runs commonly hit 1.0% to 1.8%, depending on climate and post-harvest handling. In A-B comparisons with other hemp cultivars, Abacus often scores higher for perceived intensity, which correlates to both total terpene mass and the presence of sulfur-containing volatiles. While detailed thiol quantitation in hemp is still emerging, growers note that Abacus’s fuel note is unusually persistent compared with typical CBD cultivars.
On grind, the diesel character intensifies and a tangy, fermented berry component rises. This suggests minor contributions from esters and aldehydes layered over the dominant sesquiterpenes. Skunk and resin notes linger in the nose after the grind, a sensory cue associated with high perceived potency despite the CBD-dominant chemotype. The bouquet maintains complexity throughout the session and does not collapse into hay, indicating good curing and storage.
Packaging and handling influence the aroma significantly. Terpenes volatilize rapidly above 70°F (21.1°C) and with repeated oxygen exposure, leading to a 15–25% terpene loss over 30 days if stored improperly. Vacuum-sealed or nitrogen-flushed packaging at 60°F (15.6°C) and 58–62% RH can preserve 80–90% of terpene content over the same period. Abacus’s appeal is maximized when these best practices are followed from dry room to retail shelf.
Consumers consistently rate Abacus high for aroma memorability. In retailer surveys, gas-forward hemp cultivars like Abacus drive repeat purchases at above-average rates, often exceeding 1.5x the reorder frequency of non-gassy counterparts. This behavior aligns with the broader cannabis market, where diesel and skunk profiles remain among the most sought-after. For producers, the bouquet is a reliable differentiator in crowded menus.
Flavor and Mouthfeel
The flavor of Abacus mirrors its nose with a bold diesel front and a dark berry undertone. On the inhale, expect a quick strike of fuel and pepper that transitions to blackberry jam and slight cocoa. The exhale often reveals resinous pine and a lingering earthy sweetness, akin to black tea with a peppered finish. The overall impression is dense, layered, and satisfying for smokers who prefer robust, savory profiles.
Combustion quality is a strong point when Abacus is grown and cured correctly. White to light gray ash and a smooth throat feel are typical signs of proper mineral balance and a slow dry. Many users report that Abacus remains smooth across the joint, with minimal harshness even in the final third. Compared to grassy or hay-like hemp, Abacus is notably more enjoyable for session-length smokes.
Vaporizer users often report enhanced fruit notes at lower temperatures. At 170–180°C (338–356°F), terpenes like myrcene and limonene present juicy, candied berry tones alongside a gentle herbal sweetness. Raising temperature to 190–200°C (374–392°F) amplifies caryophyllene-driven spice and resin, giving a richer, hash-like finish. Across devices, flavor persistence is higher than average for CBD-dominant flower.
Moisture content and cure influence flavor retention significantly. Flowers finished to a water activity of 0.58–0.62 and cured for at least 21–28 days retain more of the berry and diesel top notes. In contrast, rushed dries above 70°F (21.1°C) often collapse the fruit layer and emphasize bitter phenolics. For best results, jar-burp schedules should taper gradually over two weeks to stabilize volatiles.
Edible and infusion applications also benefit from Abacus’s strong flavor. In coconut oil infusions at a 1:1 flower-to-oil ratio, the berry-diesel character carries through even after decarboxylation at 240°F (115.6°C) for 40 minutes. Tinctures produced via ethanol extraction capture peppery, resinous notes that can be masked with vanilla or citrus. Chefs commonly pair Abacus-infused oils with dark chocolate, espresso, and black cherry for complementary flavor bridges.
Cannabinoid Profile and Potency Metrics
Abacus is a Type III (CBD-dominant) cultivar with a CBD:THC ratio typically ranging from 20:1 to 30:1 in compliant flowers. Total CBD commonly falls between 14% and 18% in dialed-in indoor runs, with standout batches occasionally surpassing 18% under optimal conditions. Outdoor flowers generally show 12% to 16% total CBD due to variable stressors and broader environmental swings. Total cannabinoids in premium indoor Abacus often register 16% to 22% when minor cannabinoids are included.
Compliance hinges on total THC, calculated as delta-9 THC + 0.877 × THCa. In practice, Abacus COAs frequently show delta-9 THC of 0.03% to 0.15% and THCa of 0.15% to 0.18%, yielding total THC between approximately 0.18% and 0.29%. Harvest timing exerts a major influence; sampling even 7–10 days late can push total THC above 0.3%. Growers typically target harvest windows when total CBD plateaus and THCa is still restrained.
Minor cannabinoids in Abacus are present at trace to low levels but can add functional nuance. CBG totals are often observed in the 0.2% to 0.6% range, and CBC may land at 0.1% to 0.3%. While these concentrations are modest, they contribute to the entourage effect and are sometimes targeted in extraction runs for a broader composition. In full-spectrum products, total minor cannabinoids can account for 3% to 6% of the profile.
From a consumer dosing perspective, a 1-gram joint of 15% CBD flower contains approximately 150 mg CBD. Inhalation bioavailability is commonly estimated between 10% and 31%, with a midpoint practical estimate near 20%. That implies 30 mg of CBD delivered systemically from a single gram session, enough for many users to perceive calming effects without intoxication. Smaller sessions of 0.3 grams deliver roughly 9 mg systemically at the same assumptions.
Concentrates derived from Abacus often magnify potency. Hydrocarbon extracts can deliver 50% to 65% CBD with terpene content between 5% and 12%, depending on purge and fractionation. Solventless rosin from premium flower often yields 12% to 18% by weight with final products landing at 55% to 70% CBD. These concentrates provide rapid onset and a terpene-rich experience that mirrors the flower’s diesel-berry signature.
Terpene Profile and Minor Volatiles
Abacus’s terpene fingerprint is typically anchored by beta-myrcene, beta-caryophyllene, and alpha-humulene. In well-grown indoor flower, myrcene often appears at 0.4%–0.8% by weight, caryophyllene at 0.3%–0.6%, and humulene at 0.15%–0.30%. Limonene frequently occupies the fourth slot at 0.10%–0.25%, with linalool, ocimene, and pinene rounding out the stack at 0.05%–0.15% each. Total terpene content of 1.5%–2.5% is common, though select phenotypes and ideal post-harvests can reach or exceed 3.0%.
The diesel impression is not solely attributable to classic terpenes. Emerging research points to volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) such as 3-mercaptohexyl acetate and related thiols as key contributors to "gas" aroma in cannabis. While quantitative VSC data in hemp is limited, sensory reports suggest Abacus expresses trace sulfurous volatiles that amplify fuel notes even when total terpenes are moderate. This aligns with observations that Abacus retains a gassy character in cured flower longer than many CBD cultivars.
Caryophyllene and humulene contribute to peppery, woody, and resinous notes that give Abacus its savory edge. Myrcene adds the dark berry and earthy sweetness that many users describe as blackberry jam or black tea. Limonene and ocimene provide a subtle citrus sparkle and floral lift, preventing the bouquet from feeling heavy or one-dimensional. Together, these compounds create a balanced aromatic arc from top notes to base.
Terpene expression is highly environment-dependent. Plants grown under balanced macronutrients with ample sulfur and a late-flower potassium push tend to produce richer sesquiterpene fractions. Studies in cannabis show that light intensity and spectrum influence terpene totals, with high-PPFD flowering (800–1,000 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹) and added 660 nm red often enhancing sesquiterpene accumulation. Post-harvest handling is equally critical; a 60/60 dry (60°F, 60% RH) for 10–14 days can preserve 70%–85% of volatile content versus fast dries that may lose 30%–40%.
For processors, Abacus’s terpene profile translates well to both solventless and hydrocarbon techniques. Fresh-frozen material often yields flavorful live extracts, with limonene and caryophyllene retaining well after purge at lower temperatures. Decarboxylation can reduce total terpene content by 15%–35% depending on time and temperature, so careful process control is advised. Finished products benefit from cold storage to minimize oxidative terpene loss over time.
Experiential Effects and User Reports
As a CBD-dominant strain, Abacus delivers a clear-headed, non-intoxicating experience for most users. Common reports include a rapid onset of body calm within 5–10 minutes of inhalation and a gentle easing of muscle tension. Mentally, users describe a smoothing of stress and a mild uplift that is focused rather than euphoric. Because total THC remains low, cognitive impairment is minimal relative to THC-dominant cultivars.
In informal consumer surveys, 70%–80% of Abacus users cite relaxation and stress relief as their primary outcomes. About 40%–55% report improved ability to unwind in the evening, with some noting easier transition to sleep. Daytime use is also common, particularly among individuals who want to reduce anxiety without sedation. Compared with fruit-forward CBD cultivars, Abacus users often describe the effect as heavier in the body but not muddled.
Onset and duration vary by route. Inhalation typically begins within minutes and lasts 1.5–3 hours depending on the dose. Vaporized flower produces a smoother ramp-up and may feel more lucid, whereas joints provide a more robust body grounding. Edible infusions from Abacus can take 30–90 minutes to onset, lasting 4–6 hours with a calmer, more sustained arc.
Tolerance and sensitivity differ widely, so titration is recommended. New users often find 1–3 inhalations sufficient for a noticeable effect, delivering an estimated 5–15 mg of CBD systemically. Experienced users may prefer larger sessions or a combination of inhalation and sublingual tinctures to stack benefits. Across use cases, Abacus’s chemotype supports consistent, repeatable experiences with low intoxication risk.
Side effects are relatively uncommon at typical inhaled doses, but dry mouth and mild sedation may occur. Individuals sensitive to terpenes like myrcene and linalool might experience greater relaxation than expected. As with all cannabinoids, start low and assess personal response, especially when combining Abacus with other supplements or medications. Most users report a clean come-down without grogginess.
Potential Therapeutic and Medical Applications
Abacus’s CBD-forward profile positions it as a candidate for wellness routines focused on stress modulation and physical ease. CBD has been studied for its anxiolytic potential, with a frequently cited human model showing that 300 mg oral CBD reduced anxiety during public speaking tests compared with placebo. While inhaled doses from flower are lower, users commonly report a measurable calming effect that aligns with CBD’s mechanism of action on 5-HT1A receptors. For many, Abacus offers a fast-acting, non-intoxicating option to help manage everyday stress.
Sleep-related use is another common theme. In a 2019 clinical case series of 72 adults, 66.7% reported improved sleep scores within the first month of CBD treatment, though results fluctuated over time. Abacus’s terpene blend, particularly myrcene and linalool at modest levels, may further support relaxation before bed. Consumers often pair a small Abacus session 30–60 minutes before bedtime with sleep hygiene practices for additive benefit.
Pain and inflammation are frequent targets for CBD, though evidence varies by condition. Meta-analyses suggest that cannabinoids can reduce chronic pain intensity by 30% or more in some populations, but much of that research involves THC:CBD combinations. For CBD alone, preclinical studies support anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects via TRPV1 and CB2 pathways, with human data modest but promising. Anecdotally, Abacus users with exercise-induced soreness or desk-related muscle tension report tangible relief after short inhalation sessions.
An important consideration is bioavailability and dose. A 0.5-gram joint of 15% CBD Abacus contains ~75 mg CBD; with 20% bioavailability, roughly 15 mg reaches systemic circulation. That dose is consistent with amounts used by many consumers for acute stress or mild pain, though clinical dosing for severe conditions often starts higher. Titrating to effect is prudent, and medical guidance is recommended for complex conditions.
Safety data for CBD is favorable. Reviews from international health agencies note that CBD is generally well tolerated with a strong safety profile, though it can interact with CYP3A4 and CYP2C19 substrates. Reported adverse events include fatigue, diarrhea, and changes in appetite at higher oral doses. Individuals on medications should consult a healthcare professional, particularly when considering daily or high-dose use. As always, Abacus is not a substitute for medical care, and outcomes vary by individual.
Comprehensive Cultivation Guide: From Seed to Cure
Abacus performs well in indoor, greenhouse, and outdoor environments when environmental controls and timing are dialed. Indoor flowering time averages 56–63 days (8–9 weeks) from flip, with some phenotypes pushing 63–70 days for maximal color and resin. Outdoors at 35–42°N latitude, harvest commonly falls between late September and mid-October. Plants reach 0.8–1.2 meters indoors and 1.8–2.5 meters outdoors without aggressive training.
Germination and propagation are straightforward. Feminized seed from reputable producers typically achieves 90%–98% germination with ≥99% feminization rates. Start seeds in 72-cell trays or small cubes at 75–80°F (23.9–26.7°C) and 60%–70% RH; sprouts emerge within 48–96 hours. Clones root reliably in 9–14 days under 18/6 light, 200–300 PPFD, and 75% RH.
Vegetative growth thrives at 75–82°F (23.9–27.8°C), 60%–70% RH, and 400–600 PPFD. Maintain VPD between 0.9 and 1.2 kPa in veg for strong transpiration and node stacking. In soilless media, target pH 5.8–6.2; in living soil, 6.2–6.6 is ideal. Feed EC at 1.2–1.6 in veg, with nitrogen as the lead macro and 150–200 ppm Ca and 40–60 ppm Mg to support cell wall strength and chlorophyll.
Training and canopy management improve yields and airflow. Top once at the fifth node, then low-stress train to spread branches into a flat canopy. A single-layer trellis is generally sufficient indoors, with a second layer advisable for phenotypes with heavier colas. Strategic defoliation at day 21 of flower opens the interior and reduces humidity pockets without stalling growth.
Transition to flower at 12/12 and ramp PPFD to 800–1,000 µmol·m⁻²·s⁻¹ by day 10. Flowering temperatures of 72–78°F (22.2–25.6°C) daytime and 60–68°F (15.6–20°C) nighttime encourage color and resin production. Keep RH at 50%–60% in early flower, stepping down to 45%–50% by week 6 and 42%–48% for the final two weeks. Maintain VPD around 1.2–1.5 kPa in mid to late flower to reduce disease pressure while sustaining metabolite production.
Nutritionally, reduce nitrogen after week 3 of flower and emphasize phosphorus and potassium for bud development. EC targets of 1.8–2.2 in mid flower are typical in inert media, with careful monitoring to prevent salt buildup. Sulfur is a key driver of terpene synthesis; ensure adequate S in both veg and bloom to support a robust aroma. In living soils, top dressings of kelp, fish bone meal, and gypsum at week 3 can support resin and terpene output.
Irrigation strategy should match container size and media. In coco, aim for 10%–20% runoff per feed and irrigate 1–3 times daily depending on plant size and stage. In living soil, water less frequently but to full saturation, allowing a light dryback for oxygen exchange. Overwatering increases Botrytis risk in dense Abacus colas, so favor frequent, moderate volumes over heavy, infrequent drenches.
CO2 enrichment boosts yields and terpene mass when light and nutrition are sufficient. At 1,100–1,300 ppm CO2 and 900–1,000 PPFD, yield increases of 10%–20% are common across cannabis cultivars. Ensure strong air mixing to avoid stratification and monitor leaf temperature with an IR thermometer to maintain proper VPD. With CO2, plants may demand 10%–15% more water and nutrients.
Pest and disease management is proactive with Abacus. Dense flowers necessitate early IPM: introduce predatory mites (Amblyseius swirskii/cucumeris) in veg, and rotate biocontrols like Beauveria bassiana and Bacillus subtilis. Maintain under-canopy airflow to minimize powdery mildew; keep late-flower RH under 50% to deter Botrytis. Scouting twice weekly with sticky cards helps intercept outbreaks before they threaten compliance and yield.
Yield potential varies by environment and plant count. Indoor sea-of-green setups can achieve 60–90 g per plant in 1-gallon containers or 450–550 g·m⁻² with optimized inputs. Larger indoor plants in 3–5 gallon pots average 80–150 g each, with elite growers exceeding 180 g per plant. Outdoor yields of 0.5–1.5 kg per plant are common with proper spacing (1.8–2.4 m centers) and nutrition, translating to 1,500–3,000 lb of dry flower per acre in favorable climates.
Harvest timing is pivotal for compliance and quality. Begin trichome monitoring by day 49 of flower; peak aroma often coincides with mostly cloudy heads and 5%–10% amber. Total THC tends to rise faster than CBD late in flower; many growers harvest Abacus between days 56 and 63 to balance potency and compliance. Field sampling for pre-harvest COAs 10–14 days before the target cut date reduces risk.
Drying should be slow and cool to preserve terpenes and color. Aim for 60°F (15.6°C), 60% RH, low airflow, and 10–14 days hang-dry on whole plants or large branches. Target a final water activity of 0.58–0.62 before dry trim. Over-drying below 55% RH during the first week can cost 15%–30% of volatile content and flatten the diesel-berry profile.
Curing locks in the bouquet and mouthfeel. Jar or bin cure at 58%–62% RH for 3–4 weeks, burping daily at first and tapering to twice weekly. Terpene retention remains significantly higher with a 21+ day cure compared to rushed product, and ash quality improves as chlorophyll degrades. Properly cured Abacus showcases smooth smoke, white ash, and a sticky, resinous break.
Post-harvest storage preserves value. Nitrogen-flushed, light-proof packaging at 60°F (15.6°C) can retain 80%–90% of terpenes for 30–60 days, while room-temperature, oxygen-rich storage may lose 25%–40% over the same period. Keep inventory in the dark at stable temperatures and rotate stock FIFO. For long-term holds, cold storage at 40–45°F (4.4–7.2°C) with humidity control maximizes shelf life without damaging trichomes.
Compliance and testing are continual throughout the cycle. Test for total THC and total CBD with ISO-accredited labs, and monitor moisture, water activity, and microbial panels before release. COAs for Abacus typically show total CBD 14%–18%, total THC 0.18%–0.29%, and terpenes 1.5%–2.5% when grown and cured to spec. Maintaining records of environmental data, feed schedules, and test results supports repeatability and quality assurance season over season.
