15.8% CBD
Smokable Hemp Flower
At an impressive 15.8% total CBD, Cherry Abacus isn’t a strain to sleep on… though it may help put you to sleep. As an Indica-dominant cultivar, Cherry Abacus is a good choice for folks trying to unwind at the end of a long day.
Cherry Abacus is the only Indica hemp strain this year in Sunset Lake CBD’s smokable flower lineup, meaning that if you’re only looking for a before-bedtime strain, look no further than Cherry Abacus.
Cherry Abacus is the only Colorado CBD Seed cultivar that Sunset Lake CBD grew this year. These hearty little buds have the highest percentage of terpenes by weight— something that should be on terp hunters’ radars.

Like many high-yielding hemp flower strains, Cherry Abacus hemp flower can trace its lineage back to some stable and proven cannabis strains. Over time, geneticists bred the THC out of the parent cultivars and encouraged CBD production. This technique created, high-CBD buds that look, smell, and smoke like traditional cannabis.
Cherry Abacus (and later Cherry Abacus 2.0) are proprietary strains from Colorado CBD Seeds. The original Cherry Abacus strain was introduced to the market in 2016 as a fruity cross between Original Cherry and Colorado CBD Seeds’ flagship strain, Abacus.
Cherry Abacus 2.0 was subsequently released in 2020 as a follow-up to Cherry Abacus’s success. The difference between Cherry Abacus and Cherry Abacus 2.0 is that the latter is the result of a cross between Cherry Abacus and Abacus 2.0. It’s sometimes referred to as “Fruit Loops.”
Cherry Abacus hemp flower is an Indica-dominant hybrid strain. Cherry Abacus hemp flowers are much more analogous to the Indica flower structure— small, dense, and heavy. What Cherry Abacus hemp flowers lack in size, they make up for in effect.
Smoking Sunset Lake CBD’s Cherry Abacus hemp flower will not make you feel high or intoxicated.
To be considered hemp flower and not marijuana, smokable hemp must contain less than 0.3% d9-THC by dry weight. Instead of feeling high, as you would with traditional marijuana, you might feel much more relaxed or chilled when you smoke Cherry Abacus.
Because Cherry Abacus is an Indica cultivar, you’ll want to limit your usage to nighttime. This bud will make your body and eyelids feel heavy. Many users of Cherry Abacus hemp flower say that it’s their go-to for letting go of the day’s stresses and helping them get to bed.
Cured Cherry Abacus smells of sweet maraschino cherries and crisp coca cola. Some users will even notice more subtle notes like dry red wine underneath the cherry.

Cherry Abacus is a myrcene-dominant cultivar, accounting for nearly half of its impressive 3.3% total terpene weight in this year’s testing sample. The second and third most common terpenes are beta-caryophyllene and alpha-pinene, respectively.
When myrcene is taken with CBD, it’s thought to contribute to the “couch lock” effect, leading many to believe that myrcene may have some sedative effects. Myrcene is also commonly found in mangos and thyme. It may be the amount of myrcene in Cherry Abacus that makes it such a great bedtime strain.
Beta-caryophyllene is an interesting terpene as it’s the only terpene to also interact with your endocannabinoid system and provide anti-inflammatory effects. This terpene helps add a bit of spice to Cherry Abacus’s profile as it’s also found in black pepper and cinnamon.
Finding pinene as one of the three top terpenes in a hemp cultivar is quite rare— even though it’s the most abundant terpene found in the natural world. Responsible for, you guessed it, pine smell, pinene is thought to be a bronchodilator meaning that it helps open your airways.
We germinated our Cherry Abacus hemp flower in our greenhouses up in Vermont’s Champlain Islands. Once they were big enough to transplant, we moved the Cherry Abacus seedlings to the northernmost section of our fields, next to our CBDV flower.
We did not use any pesticides at any point during germination, growing, flowering or harvesting. Instead, with guidance from the University of Vermont extension school, we used an integrated pest management system and employed the use of Trichogramma parasitic wasps, assassin bugs, and ladybugs to control unwanted pests. We only used organic fertilizer that we secured from our main farm in Alburgh Vermont.
