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 Blue Ice
Blue Ice builds upon the powerhouse genetics of Alaskan Ice (White Widow × Pure Haze), a predominantly sativa variety long respected for its exceptional potency and elevated cannabinoid content. Jordan of the Islands enhanced this already formidable lineage by introducing their prized Blueberry selection, adding depth, balance, and improved overall performance.
The result is a refined hybrid with a shortened flowering period, increased bud density, and enhanced yield potential. Blue Ice maintains the classic growth structure reminiscent of White Widow — typically forming a dominant central cola supported by numerous productive side branches.
This variety is well-suited to growers of all experience levels. It demonstrates strong resilience, bouncing back well from common beginner mistakes such as overwatering or nutrient excess, while also showing natural resistance to pests. Novice cultivators will appreciate its forgiving nature, and experienced growers will value its consistently above-average harvests
