Peer-reviewed, open-access studies that examined samples sold or grown under this name. Findings describe those samples, not the breeder’s release, and may not match every product. Each quote is copied from the paper’s full text.
- Cannabinoids: Blackberry Kush is described as a THC-type cultivar, and Clade A3.1 transcripts were obtained from its RNA-Seq libraries.
“We obtained complete transcripts of the CladeA3.1 gene by mining published RNA‐Seq libraries from the intermediate‐type cultivar Cannbio2 (Braich et al. 2019), and THC‐type cultivars Blackberry Kush and Chemdawg.”

Areto Research estimateNot published by the breeder. Areto Research estimated this with AI-assisted review of the strain’s name, reported parentage and commonly described traits; it is not a source, a lab result or a prediction for any product. Details marked “general guess” have low confidence. Each estimate is replaced as soon as a breeder publishes that detail.
Source access date not recorded. Fields without supporting records remain unknown. Potency and terpene composition vary by product batch; use that batch’s COA for tested values. View sources.
Indica, sativa and hybrid are retail shopping labels, not genetics. Parentage is breeder-reported and not DNA-verified. Use your product’s batch COA for tested potency. How Areto sources this page.

Cultivar facts come directly from the cited breeders. A breeder’s description is a reported claim, not independent genetic verification or a test of your product batch. Community members’ personal experiences are separate from these facts. Corrections: genetics@areto.tech.
