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.

About Blue Kush

It is very strong and grows like an OG Kush with long thin stems and rounded buds spread along the branches. It develops very attractive Blueberry colours, ranging from purple to lavender, going through all violet spectrums. The colder the night gets, the deeper the tones become. Blooming in 60 days, it produces very compact and resinous buds. It tastes of fresh intense citrus and pine Kush with hints of red berries. Being extremely powerful, cerebral and euphoric, occasional users should take caution. 55% Sativa / 45% Indica Genetics: Blueberry x OG Kush Indoor flowering period: 60 days Outdoor harvest time: beginning/middle of October Indoor yield: 500 g/m2 Outdoor yield: 600-800 g/plant THC: 20% CBD: 0.16% THC/CBD ratio: 125:1
