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 Candy Rain
Candy Rain delivers a euphoric and physically soothing high alongside moreish tastes of butter, lavender, sugar, and pear. The strain’s strong parentage makes her accessible to most growers, and a moderate THC content makes her a great strain for most times of the day. History of the Candy Rain Cannabis Strain Candy Rain stems from a breeding project conducted by Cookies Fam, one of the largest and most well-known cannabis companies in the world. Founded by rapper and business entrepreneur Berner and Californian breeder Jai, the seed bank set out with the goal of creating a hard-hitting and flavorful pool of genetics. Currently, the company has built up a library of 70 proprietary cultivars, alongside 2,000 other products. Among their strains, Candy Rain stands out as an exceptionally tasty variety. With a plan to create something scrumptious and euphoric at the start of the breeding project, Cookies Fam growers carefully selected parent genetics that would pass down sugary and fruity terpenes as well as euphoric and relaxing effects. Since its release, Candy Rain has gained serious traction, and many growers flocked to this strain after its win in the Indoor Flower category at the
