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 Cheddarhead
Cheddarhead is the next step in AKG "Cheddar" lineup, following the success of Cheddarwurst 1&2. Cheddarhead is a mix of super fruity flavors, intense trichome production, with a marked increase in yield over the Exodus Cheese mom. Exodus Cheese is a phenotype of Skunk that was found in the UK in 1988. It is world famous for both its wonderfully effects as well as it’s classic blueberries and cream cheese flavors. The Cheddarheads’ flavors range from blueberries and grape to skittles and cotton candy. This is the cross for growers looking for the fruitiest tasting hybrid, with a shorter flowering time. It is very mold and mildew resistant and a very hearty grower. While it may be sativa dominant, it seems to disable your will from wanting to complete many tasks. You still feel active and lively, but accomplishing much will probably be out of the question for a few hours. The aroma is super sweet, and the flowers hold a medium bud density level. This plant will require tying, as the buds do gain enough weight to hang down. Very heavy aroma. Air purification highly recommended. Lineage: Exodus Cheese x Snowdawg 2
Indica/Sativa %: 30/70
Flowering time: 8-9 weeks
Release Date: 2-16-13
