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 Bad Apple
Genetics: The Brunch (Lover’s Cut) x Dirty Mimosa
Filial Generation: Rbx2
Flowering Time: 60 Days
Cannabis Type: Feminized Photoperiod
Indica/Sativa: Sativa hybrid
Yield: High
Phenotypic Variation: Moderate
Terpene Profile
Absolutely repulsive. Caryophyllene and limonene are the top terpenes, but the combination of other terpenes in smaller concentrations absolutely overrun what should be a straightforward smell. It is disgusting, rotten, offensive, and completely addictive.
Effect
Great daytime smoke. Sneakily strong.
Plant Morphology
Bad Apple has good internodal spacing and has only a moderate stretch in flower. Not a leafy plant, she gets good airflow without defoliation. Expect Bad Apple to flower for around 60 days. Purpling of the leaves and buds in most phenos. High trichome and resin production. Staking suggested later in flower.
Notes from the Growers
Bad Apple is an exciting mix of fruit and sh!t, blending in perfectly with the fertile farmlands around us here in Maine.
When the terps showed up during our pheno hunts, we were all shocked and delighted. Sure, we’ve created many fruity crosses based off of our Brunch and Dirty Mimosa, but paired together something truly sp
