The Abacus CBD strain is a popular choice among processors for making hemp extracts. The dense, resinous Abacus hemp flower buds are perfect for extraction. And, the terpene profile is refreshingly unique when compared to other popular hemp flower strains.
Abacus CBD Live Resin is a golden yellow sauce that is extremely rich in terpenes. Our current batch contains the highest terpene content out of all the terpene profiles on our site at 19.38% total terpenes!
