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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Ace of Spades

This is another hybrid that combines lemon and berry in order to have that sweet and sour taste I like so much. Ace of Spades is also a very large variety with hearty thick heavy flowers. They outer leaves are a vibrant purple to blue with hints of coloring throughout. Many variations are extremely colorful with traces of pink and magenta. The smoke is smooth and soft on the throat with a slight berry and sandlewood flavor. The lemonene is understated but still present. The high comes on fast and strong and is very upbeat almost giddy.The Indica Influence is felt later in the trip and ransferes into an overall body stone. Very powerful medicine Phenotypes: Line is very similar Height: Medium height with good stockiness Yield: Large Best way to grow: Untopped Perfect for sog but top for height control Harvest: 8 weeks Sativa/Indica: 30/70 Hybrid: Black Cherry Soda X Jack The Ripper High type: Strong and hard hitting with fast onset of laughter. Reminds me of some of the first times I got high when I was younger. Taste/Smell Like: Skunk, Berry, Sandlewood, Dr Zoggs Blue Sex Wax, Head shops,Lemon
