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 Black Russian
The Black Russian strain has potent medicinal effects resulting from crossing a White Russian with a spectacular Black Domina mother which enhances the organoleptic qualities of the Russian, improving its structure, and, of course, its taste and smell. The Domina mother used for this strain is a real jewel and well known among the best growers across Spain. Its descendants are really impressive; compact plants yet well-branched (especially outdoors) making it one of the great Indica yielders. Furthermore, it offers a salad of tastes and smells ranging from tropical fruit to hints of sweet aromatic candy. Genotype: 20% sativa / 80% indica
