Abstract: The present invention provides a new and distinct Cannabis plant designated as ‘AC/DC x Redneck Wedding 13’. The main terpenes found in ‘AC/DC x Redneck Wedding 13’ are myrcene, alpha-pinene, beta-pinene, and limonene. The estimated concentration of the total THC and CBD is approximately 7.10% and approximately 11.0%, respectively, at the time of assaying metabolites from flower samples of ‘AC/DC x Redneck Wedding 13’. The ‘AC/DC x Redneck Wedding 13’ cultivar of Cannabis exhibits a unique combination of leaf characteristics, balanced THC and CBD levels, pleasant aroma and taste, upright monopodial growth habit, and tight, compact flowering. The upright monopodial growth habit provides several advantages for growers, including efficient use of vertical space, improved light penetration, better air circulation, and easier pruning and maintenance, which leads to higher yields.
