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 30%Sativa 70%

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 Apollo Haze

Using a Super Silver Grail Haze male gifted to us by our internet friend “has_some_sense”, we pollenated the famous Genius clone to create this monster hybrid. The SSGH male is the result of our friend’s having crossed his keeper Cinderella 99, the female dubbed "The Grail" to a very select Super Silver Haze male. The result of recombining these genes unlocked a real jewel; this male added potency, vigorous growth, and large, strong branches to the progeny. In our testing, 2/3 of the population remained true to the Genius clone; displaying more compact structure and heavy colas. The remaining 1/3 of the plants expressed a much larger structure and more elongated floral development. The aromas range from the spicy, lime/citrus, fuel of Genius (but amplified) while the shorter phenotypes smell of tropical fruit, elderberries, black currents and a mildly influenced haze afternote. They all taste as they smell and all produce very resinous, large flowers. The high is very energetic with no anxiety and no crash, the perfect active weed with a very sharp head. Flowering Time: We recommend 63-70 days of 12/12 flowering. Morphology: Mostly Sativa with two major phenotypes: one third of the
