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 Cara Cara
CaraCara by Symbiotic Genetics is a hybrid cross that uses the infamous GMO, aka Garlic Cookies as a mother. SkunkHouse Genetics is the breeder of the GMO, and the phenotype selected by Skunkmasterflex became an incredibly popular cut that quickly made its way worldwide thanks to its garlic funk profile. GMO is ChemD x Forum GSC and was named so thanks to its remarkable structure & yields that could likely indicate GMO growth, of course, this isn't the case it's just an example of extremely powerful genetics. However, it's often incorrectly referred to as Garlic, Mushroom and Onion, thanks to the intensely savoury flavour it provides. CaraCara by Symbiotic Genetics' has a loud terp profile that's heavy with notes of Chem Dog, aka ChemD funk; there are sweet citrus aromas that help sweeten and add depth to some phenos, but there's a wide variety of ChemD funk dominant phenos and dominant citrus ones. Her effects are highly potent and long-lasting thanks to the ChemD heritage. CaraCara typically finishes in 8-10+ weeks and produces medium to high-yielding plants
