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 Alpenglow
AlpenGlow grows large, dense, colorful trichome coated colas that display a low amount of variation in structure and potency throughout the offspring’s entirety. Aromas of vanilla cream, lavender, black currants, dark red wine and undertones of earthy/oak/hazelnut make for a unique sensory experience. Effects are immediately felt with a warm tingling sensation in your head that quickly travels throughout. Not recommended for beginners. A glance into a room of flowering AlpenGlow is comparable to a glimmering sunset upon the mountains. Hues of magenta, purple, red, yellow, violet, maroon and green make this one of the more fascinating fades we’ve seen in the cannabis gene-pool. Colors are so vivid that they radiate with a nostalgic autumn vibration, casting a visual sense of pleasure and awe. Expect a 9 week bloom time on average. Odour Description:
