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 Buckeye Purple

Buckeye Purple F2BX A melding of 2 lines of Grand Daddy Purple and Gorilla Grape producing large, high yielding flowers ranging in color from pastel pinks/lavenders, burgundies, and deep dark purples. Dark purple phenos show in the first 3 weeks of flower with deep purple coloring running in lines down the bud leaves. "Green" phenos will show pastel coloring at harvest. Heavily indica leaning, expect short, slow growing plants during the vegetative process. Minimum 60 days veg recommended for proper yields. Expect strong stems and branching with minimal stretch growth in the first 3 weeks. Tends to need lower levels of feed, ½ your normal is suggested at the start. Look for harvest days from 52-62 for a range of nice head to heavy body to couchlock
