ACDC x Deep Chunk is a mostly indica hybrid developed by Budding Industries, combining the CBD-forward traits of ACDC with the robust Afghan genetics of Deep Chunk. This cultivar is designed to offer therapeutic versatility and ease of cultivation, providing a balanced and dependable experience.
Appearance
This strain typically presents a squat and bushy structure, characteristic of indica varieties, with broad, dark green leaves. Mature plants are generally compact, often staying between 60-100 cm indoors with training. The buds are dense and resinous, resembling a classic hash-plant, with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio that aids in trimming. Some phenotypes may develop faint purple hues late in flowering, especially with cooler night temperatures.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma profile is predominantly earthy and hash-forward, with noticeable undertones of cocoa and roasted coffee, stemming from the Deep Chunk lineage. The ACDC influence introduces brighter notes of pine, lemon zest, and subtle floral hints. Upon grinding, the citrus and pine elements become more pronounced, complementing the foundational Afghan scent. Flavors often mirror the aroma, presenting a complex blend of chocolate, citrus, coffee, earthy, herbal, lemon, and peppery notes.

The breeding objective was to combine the therapeutic benefits and clarity associated with high-CBD strains with the robust structure, faster flowering times, and enhanced resin production of classic indica genetics.
