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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Cake Bomb

On the one hand PCS1 it is a variety developed by refining one of the most valued Og Kush in the market, maintaining the main characteristics of this genetic line, such as flavour and vigour, but improving the structure with a more ramified plant that provides greater production and ease of cultivation. On the other hand Do-Si-Dos by Archive Seeds. A variety that has been widely appreciated by US growers and consumers. Its powerful terpenic content has led it to be awarded several cannabis competitions, making it an excellent strain to consider in the development of new marijuana hybrids. Cake Bomb, Do-Si-Dos x PCS1 Cake Bomb shows a vigorous development and facility to ramify. It is a robust plant with a pronounced stretching after the photoperiod change. It responds well to optimisation techniques such as apical pruning or topping. Cake Bomb has a flowering period of about 8-9 weeks, producing very compact dark coloured buds. The flowers are full of resin trichomes, and together with the orange pistils turn them into a very showy plant. The leaves can turn blue/purple if temperatures are not too high. It offers a flavour that mixes Og Kush and Do-Si-Dos with a Kush base with chem
