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 Alien Rock Candy

I've been keeping this one rather quiet until the last minute because she is a personal favorite. There are a limited amount of packs available, so we kept the talk to a minimum on this strain. If you love super sour candy OG strains that linger on your palette for 15 minutes after you take a bong rip, this is the lady for you. The taste is indescribable. Just overflowing with flavor in every department, and she leaves the lemon-lime taste of Sprite underneath the candy OG funk on the exhale. IMHO, a perfectly balanced mix of sour candy, OG, and Alien Kush. Very easy to grow and clone, also quick in the veg department. Likes to be topped once or twice to form a large bush. Extremely resistent to PM as well. If trained properly, she produces very well. She prefers to have as many branches and tops as can fit in the canopy. This is a great strain to leaf early to keep the lumens shining through... it will develop dense bud deep into the canopy. This strain is quite invigorating... she charges us up with energy every time we get a chance to enjoy her. Great for hiking, exercise, motivation, outdoor work, etc. HIGHLY Recommended.
