Abomination by Yetis Pheno
Indica Heritage × Sativa Heritage
Abomination is a hybrid cannabis cultivar developed by Yetis Pheno, known for meticulous phenotype selection. This strain aims to provide a balanced experience, combining the physical comfort of indica genetics with the mental clarity often associated with sativa hybrids. It is recognized for its potent profile and nuanced sensory qualities.
Appearance
Abomination typically yields dense, medium to large colas with a calyx-forward structure that retains weight through drying and curing. The buds often feature a high calyx-to-leaf ratio, which aids in efficient trimming and preserves trichome heads. Well-cured flowers present as tight, slightly spongy nuggets that release a significant aroma when broken apart.
A hallmark of this cultivar is its abundant trichome coverage, giving the buds a frosted appearance. The flowers usually display deep olive to lime green coloration, accented by copper or flame-orange pistils. Depending on the specific phenotype and growing conditions, purplish hues may appear on sugar leaves or calyx tips, especially if nighttime temperatures are lowered during the final weeks of flowering.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Abomination is complex and persistent, often starting with bright notes of sweet citrus, ripe stone fruit, and pine. Deeper aromatic inspection reveals hints of peppery spice and a resinous, dank undertone, sometimes described as fuel-like without being overpowering. Many users note that the scent profile evolves from the jar to the grind, beginning with fresh top notes and finishing with a deep, herbal exhale.
On the palate, Abomination mirrors its aroma, emphasizing sweet citrus oils, ripe tropical fruits, and an herbal spice on the finish. The inhale is generally smooth, with terpenes like limonene contributing notes of lemon-lime zest or orange creamsicle. The exhale can become earthier and spicier, leaving a lingering pine-resin echo. Vaporization at moderate temperatures tends to highlight the brighter lemon and mango notes, while combustion can bring out toasted herbs and a warm, clove-like spice from caryophyllene.
Effects
Abomination is bred to offer a balanced hybrid experience, integrating the body-calming effects associated with indica genetics and the uplifting mental clarity of sativa-leaning strains. This combination aims to provide a high that is potent yet composed, suitable for both recreational users and those seeking therapeutic benefits.
Consumers report a range of effects that can be situational. In smaller amounts, it may support creative focus and provide an energetic lift. In larger doses or longer sessions, the effects can lean towards deeper physical relaxation, potentially leading to a couch-lock sensation. The overall experience is often described as balanced, modulating onset, mood, and duration through its terpene profile.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
Abomination exhibits a high terpene content, often testing between 1.5% and 3.5% by weight in well-cultivated and cured flowers. This significant terpene expression contributes to its robust aroma and flavor profile, as well as influencing the subjective effects of the cannabis. Key terpenes identified include Limonene and Caryophyllene, which contribute to its citrusy and peppery notes, respectively.
The THC content typically ranges from 19% to 21%, placing it in the upper tier of potency for retail flower. CBD levels are generally less than 1%. The combination of moderate to high THC and a rich terpene profile is intended to deliver a layered sensory experience that shapes the intensity driven by THC.
Growing
This cultivar is noted for vigorous growth, characteristic of hybrid vigor, with moderate internodal spacing and a tendency to branch well under topping. It is adaptable and can handle high light intensity and various training techniques. Growers aim for dense, trichome-laden flowers with a robust aroma and consistent resin output, making it suitable for both flower production and extraction.
Flowering time is not explicitly stated but is typical for a hybrid. Yield is generally considered good, with buds that hold weight and have a high calyx-to-leaf ratio. Environmental control is important for maximizing resin density and terpene retention, with careful drying at 58-62% RH and a slow cure being beneficial.
Origins & Lineage
Abomination was developed by Yetis Pheno, a breeder name that emphasizes phenotype hunting and careful genetic selection. While the exact parent strains are not publicly standardized, as is common with boutique cultivars, it possesses both indica and sativa heritage. This lineage is reflected in its balanced hybrid effects.
The breeding approach prioritizes maximizing resin density, terpene complexity, and flower structure. This focus aligns with market trends where terpene profiles significantly influence the user experience, often more so than THC percentages alone. The cultivar is designed to appeal to connoisseurs who value both potency and nuanced sensory qualities.
