Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
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, 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 AK-49
The AK-49 is a power packed, resinous plant and carries compact buds that bristle with hairs and glistening trichomes. AK-49 has a spicy smell bordering on skunk, with a touch of sandalwood, but flavours sweeter and more floral than the smell would lead one to believe. The AK-49 has a smooth smoke and a high THC level, a good day time strain for people with a high thc tolerance and perfect late afternoon, night time smoke for people with lower tolerance. The AK-49 name is based on her genetic build up, similar to the early AK-47 when this stain was still clearly Sativa dominant, this is a mellow and good looking plant with a solid genetic base awaiting a successful future in the hybrid cannabis world. AK-49 feminized seeds are generally grown indoors, green housed, or hydroponic, this doesn’t mean it is not suitable for outdoors, the strain does great outside in mild climates. The AK-49 is very suitable for medicinal purposes by people suffering from chronic pain, nausea, depression, insomnia, headaches, PMS, and arthritis. Average height: 60 cm
Average indoor yield: 450 g/m²
Composition: 65% Sativa, 35% Indica
Effect: Mellow
Indoor flowering time: 63 days
Outdoor harvest: Mid Octo
