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 Bandana
Making it’s debut in the Fall of 2011, Bandana is a small batch blend that is being released as a limited edition through select vendors. AKG always has its ears to the ground, and what they heard the customers asking for was this hybrid. Taking the famous 707 Headband clone and crossing it with their already proven Snowdawg BX male, they created a new hybrid that adds the Headband size, CBN profile and a bit of skunk/diesel flavor to the Snowdawg structure and sweet aroma and taste. Test grows indicate a strong tendency to stretch during the early stages of flowering, sometimes up to 3x. What starts in flower as 3ft will often end up pushing 7ft. The Headband genetics sometimes show through in certain phenotypes creating a weaker branch structure. You will want to stake heavily and tie up early and often as the buds get very heavy and will want to droop. Initial smoke reports have shown that Bandana does very well at temporarily ceasing spastic movements, muscle spasms, and the pain associated with them. It also seems to be better for joint pain than some other crosses for some patients. Organic Seeds (Open Air Pollination)
