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 Afrodite

One of the most popular genetics among Spanish growers is Jack Herer. Its results outdoors are legendary. A hybrid with sativa structure, flavour and effects, but after crossing it with our father Black Domina, the production is improved and flowering periods are shorten to 58-62 days. The plant has an excellent calyx-to-leaf ratio and from the first few weeks of flowering becomes covered with a thick and abundant coat of resin. The smell given off by the stems when rubbed is particularly striking. Outdoors the plant will reach 2 m high, although this is made up with its lateral growth. By topping you can achieve a large number of strong branches and hundreds of cuttings. You can increase the EC gradually, week by week, because the plant withstands high levels of EC turning them into compact flowers. Indica/Sativa %: 60/40
