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 American Beauty

Some years ago the famous breeder TGA Subcool bank decided uncataloged this marvel, which did not understand because it was always our preferred varieties. We got down to work because we had a few packages acquired over the last previous years we could get behind in some grow shops of Spain. And it is here when finally we present our second album dedicated to store a variety no longer in print, and this time Plushberry, creating TGA Subcool. This fruit in the form of cannabis is a perfect combination of delicacy, kush and some hints of pineapple the famous Cinderella 99. It grows as a hybrid 50/50 branching easily take beautiful shades buds full of resin very clingy are some turrets (foxtails) at the ends of the same. You'll notice that in vegetative leaves bow up surpassing even the main knot, it then returns to normal as it starts flowering. two very similar phenes be seen, the first taking shades easily due to the parental genes present Black Cherry Soda. The second is somewhat less color but form larger and denser structure buds. both with a unique aromatic nuances. In either cases, they are plants that grow very vigorously not give problems, and are resistant to mold. Genetics
