Abula
Abula puts strawberries in the gas tank. Bred by Pacific NW Roots, this sativa-leaning hybrid crosses Strawberry Diesel with an F2 generation of Alien Kush, giving its berry-forward mother a distinctly Kush-influenced partner. That mother was a favorite at Seattle’s Quality Collective, and the breeder reported strong results when testing the cross in a warehouse grow. The F2 designation refers to a second filial generation, not a numbered “#2” cut.
Strawberry and cherry lead the nose, with fuel cutting through the fruit and woody pine and spice rounding out the profile. The sweetness has some grit to it: more berries beside a running engine than a bowl of fruit on the counter. Flowers can develop purple and red coloration, adding a little visual drama to the breeder’s flavor-first pitch.
Reports from the smoke room lean toward tingly euphoria, creative interest, relaxation, and a noticeable appetite boost. The mind may wander into a project while the hand wanders into the snack bag. Pacific NW Roots also describes a forceful stone, so the sativa lean shouldn’t be mistaken for a promise of light, get-things-done effects. Your experience will depend on the batch, dose, and your own tolerance.
Abula grows tall, with a breeder-listed flowering window of approximately 9–10 weeks and the potential for large yields. It has been documented for indoor and outdoor cultivation and was originally offered as regular seed, so growers should account for both male and female plants.
Its height makes headroom and canopy management practical considerations, while branch support may be useful as flowers develop. Purple and red expressions are part of its appeal, although coloration and yield will vary with the individual plant and growing conditions. Give this one room to show its structure; a compact plant is not the breeder’s selling point.
