Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the signal that stays true to a cultivar’s genetics, which is why scientists classify cannabis by chemical profile (a “chemovar”) rather than by name (Hazekamp & Fischedick 2012). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s data comes online.

Indica / Sativa — retail shopping guide

Indica 50%Sativa 50%

Indica, sativa and hybrid are a retail shopping convention — not a reliable guide to genetics or effects. When researchers analysed 89,923 commercial samples across six states, these labels did not predict a plant’s terpene or cannabinoid profile, and a genome-wide study found sativa- and indica-labelled plants to be genetically indistinct (PLOS ONE 2022; Nature Plants 2021). The labels are so fluid that AK-47, a hybrid, won “Best Sativa” at the 1999 Cannabis Cup and “Best Indica” four years later. For an accurate, genetics-true picture, see the chemotype above.

About A-Dub

A-Dub is said to be a potent strain with the legendary genetics of Sour Double, which is a cross of Sour Diesel and Sour Bubble, and Alien Dawg, a combination of Alien Technology and Chemdawg. According to several online sources, A-Dub has pale green buds covered with iconic red-orange hairs and glittery trichomes. It has a fruity, woody, spicy taste and strong sweet, earthy, sour aroma. Growing notes online suggest that A-Dub grows easily inside or out, delivering high yields during an eight-to-nine week flowering cycle. In 2014, High Times magazine named A-Dub the second-strongest strain on Earth, perhaps making it best left to experienced consumers
