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 Alien Sour Apple
50/50 Hybrid
THC: 20% - 28% Alien Sour Apple is a strain created through a cross of the hugely popular Sour Apple x Alien Tech strains. It is infamous among collectors, and patients for its Granny Smith like flavor and smell. The bouquet is sweet, yet sour fruity apple with just a hint of earthy berry as the flowers are broken apart. The taste is of sour apple with a hint of sweetness and earth that intensifies as you continue to enjoy. This strain has long dense and superdense spade-shaped bright neon green flowers with a spattering of fiery orange hairs and a thick frosty coating of chunky oversized milky white crystal trichomes. The Alien Sour Apple experience is fast hitting with effects of both indica and Sativa variety. You’ll be hit with a euphoric uplifted mental experience that gives you a slight sense of energy and motivation almost immediately after enjoying. As your mood continues to build, you’ll be overcome by an almost overwhelming sense of laziness that leaves you utterly relaxed and slightly sedated throughout bursts of cerebral creativity. These effects and its powerful THC level of 20-28% on average make Alien Sour Apple the perfect strain for treating conditions
