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 100%

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 California Hash Plant

This plant is a pure indica, the result of an endogamic cross made between 2 sister plants of the same genetic line. They were selected outdoors, in high humidity and low light conditions, over several years, focussing on fast flowering and high production. They demonstrated that they were more suitable than the rest, due to their good mould resistance. This ability to adapt to cold and humid climates is mainly due to the precocity of both parental plants, which flower within 45/50 days indoors; outdoors the fastest specimens ripen around 25th September and the last around 5th October. It has a bush-like shape, forming a well branched-out and wide plant, not particularly tall displaying a typical indica shape; the leaves are wide and dark with a short internodal distance, which improves flower production allover the surface of the branches. This is a good and fast producer making it a safe bet outdoors. It smells sweet, not very strong, making it easier to conceal than other strains, which is often very important; when dried, the aroma is mild, not particularly dense or fruity and more similar to hash or spices. It is not a fresh or floral scent but a little cured. It has medium st
