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 Birthday Cake

Birthday Cake S1 by Cannarado Genetics: (Cherry Pie x GSC) x (Cherry Pie x GSC) Birthday Cake S1 is a cross between Cherry Pie cannabis strain and the legendary cannabis variety Girl Scout Cookies, inheriting their best features, enhancing the aroma and resin production. It is a vigorous and branchy plant with medium internodes, and a flower knob appearance by the multitude of branches that compete with a thick and long main cola. A perfect variety for SCROG and SOG cultivation, adapting well by applying the LST Supercropping technique. Birthday Cake S1 by Cannarado Genetics, Cookies hybrid with fruity and creamy notes Cultivation in an indoor grow tent ensures a yield of up to 500g per m2 in about 56-70 days, and a yield of up to 600g per plant quite easily in outdoor cultivation. It produces bulky, heavy buds that combine pistils' oranges with subtle purple hues that contrast with the bright white of the resin. It offers a cherry biscuits aroma with exotic and sweet fuel touches. It delivers a powerful, relaxing and very pleasant effect that enlightens the mind and uplifts while relaxing the mood and muscles little by little.
