Australian Bastard Cannabis (ABC): A Unique and Discreet Variety
We are proud to offer this rare and unique variety on Happy Seeds as regular collectible seeds, for enthusiasts looking to enrich their collection with a genetic that is as mysterious as it is exceptional.
Australian Bastard Cannabis (ABC) is a strain with enigmatic origins, discovered in the 1970s in Australia. This atypical strain, with its surprising leaves and unusual appearance, remained a well-kept secret among local growers for a long time.
Some experts believe that ABC could be a natural mutation of a cannabis strain introduced to the continent centuries ago, while other theories suggest a unique local evolution, isolated from traditional cannabis lineages. Thanks to the dedicated work of passionate breeders, this rare genetic has been preserved and refined to offer collectible seeds accessible to enthusiasts around the world.
Appearance and Unique Morphology
Australian Bastard Cannabis looks like no other cannabis variety. Its smooth, rounded leaves, lacking the typical serrated edges, give it an appearance closer to an ornamental plant than classic cannabis. This unique characteristic makes it extremely discreet, ideal for legal growers looking for a plant that is hard to identify.
Outdoors, ABC stays compact, with moderate height and a bushy structure, making it suitable for growing in tight spaces. Its solid branches and natural resistance to bad weather make it a robust variety, capable of adapting to various growing conditions under favorable legislation.
Aromas and Flavors
In a legal framework and with moderate consumption, ABC offers a discreet and subtle aromatic profile, quite different from classic Diesel- or Kush-dominant varieties. Its terpenes mainly release notes of lemon, pine, and solvent.
Unlike ultra-fragrant modern strains, ABC is perfect for legal consumers seeking a more neutral strain in terms of smell, without sacrificing flavor richness. This subtlety makes it ideal for a smooth and refreshing taste experience.
Effects: A Light and Natural Experience
With a historically moderate potency (around 12%), Australian Bastard Cannabis is far from today’s overpowering strains. Its effects are generally light and pleasant, perfect for moderate consumption. It brings a sense of well-being and relaxation, without overwhelming effects.
However, thanks to the work of modern breeders, some hybrid lines derived from ABC now show higher potency levels (10 to 18%), allowing legal consumers to enjoy a more balanced effect between bodily relaxation and gentle mental stimulation.
This gradual rise in potency makes ABC an excellent choice for those looking for a light, natural variety that is easy to enjoy in a legal context.
Cultivation and Harvest: A Robust and Adaptable Variety
In a legal setting, ABC is a valued strain for its ease of cultivation and ability to thrive in diverse environments. It is appreciated for its adaptability and resilience to harsh weather conditions.
