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 Alion

The Dream mom was sourced in Berkeley some 5 yrs ago and earned a mean reputation in the Puget Sound region. Her moniker, 'Snoops' comes from having been served to the Dogg Father himself while on tour a few years ago, he liked it so much, he called back and had to get the re-up... Alion is a sturdy plant with massive yield potential that puts out mind blowing sativa hybrid buds, she is a world class plant. As starting point for a BX project, the BlueDream mother was pollenated by the AlienKush (f2) male. This led to shortened flowering times, an extra dose of trichs and even more purple in most phenos. I was able to achieve almost a gram per watt while testing these plants in organic soil and no co2, she is a beast!
