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 70%Sativa 30%

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.

It is a vigorous, easy to cultivate plant that matures after about 9-10 weeks of flowering in indoor cannabis cultivation. It can reach up to 80-130cm, with a yield of up to 600g per m2. Outdoors it can grow up to 150-200cm, with a dried flowers yield of up to 500g per plant cultivated in open ground, with the harvest ready in October in the Northern hemisphere. Blue Gelato, a harvest with a sweet and fruity blueberry ice cream taste Blue Gelato flowers, once dried and manicured, are dense, compact and whitened by resin. They give off a complex and gourmand aroma that combines sweet and fruity blueberry and citric notes on an earthy and floral background. Certainly, a plant that will delight fruity cannabis lovers, enhanced with the use of a cannabis vaporiser. Blue Gelato has a THC level of 23%, with a fast-acting, intense euphoric cerebral high that evolves into a calm and relaxed stone phase.
