Abacus 2.0:
Stabilized version of Abacus from 2016.
Abacus™ was originally created in the early 2000’s in Northern California in Humboldt County. Humboldt County is infamous for its many decades of outdoor cannabis growing. One Humboldt County breeder by the name of Nate Smith was destined to create a high CBD cultivar to help people with specific ailments and illness in the state of California.
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, Nate decided on a phenotype that embodied the unique taste and aroma that he was searching for. He eventually developed a stable, high CBD genetic with beautiful purple colors and a terpene profile that rivals most other cannabis flower still to this day; Abacus™.
In early 2016, Marc Brannigan contacted Nate about a CBD domain that Nate owned, and after many conversations about breeding cannabis, the two realized that they had a common goal of wanting to help people with cannabis. Nate wanted to share Abacus™ with all that could benefit, and Marc knew that he could help make this a reality. The uniqueness about Abacus™ immediately intrigued and impressed Marc, and they struck a deal allowing Colorado CBD Seed to purchase the rights to Abacus™, to continue to cultivate and share this amazing cultivar.
Since 2016, Abacus™ has been grown in California, Colorado, Wisconsin, Nevada, North Carolina, South Carolina, Michigan and Puerto Rico, as well as being used for research in collaboration with 5 universities in the US.
