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 Area 51

Area 51 is a special strain to North Genetics! We crossed our amazing Smurfberry (male), with 2 over-the-top strains, Snowdawg and Romulan (female). This combination resulted in a super resiny, tricomed, rich flower. The aromas range from sweet/earthy to pungent, and are packed with a really nice fruity/sweet taste. Most Phenos have a medium/tall stretch during flower, and do better trained, as opposed to topped. Area 51 can be somewhat of a heavy yielder that produces dense to super dense buds. Its attributes are, great for depression, anxiety, muscle pain, uplifting, happy, relaxed, and sleepy. Flowering Time: 56 To 63 Days
