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 Cherry Burst
Cherry Burst is a visually striking, indica-leaning hybrid from Relentless Genetics, bred from the combination of Cherry Cookies and Purple Bomb. This pairing merges the unmistakable sweet cherry gas and cookie-rich character of Cherry Cookies with the intense coloration, dense structure, and relaxing influence of Purple Bomb, creating a cultivar that excels in flavor, appearance, and overall performance.
Plants develop with a medium-sized profile, strong lateral branching, and compact internodal spacing, making them highly responsive to training techniques and capable of producing full, resin-coated canopies. Indoor flowering generally completes within 8–9 weeks, rewarding growers with dependable medium yields of dense, chunky flowers that frequently reveal deep purple and pink hues, especially under cooler nighttime temperatures.
The terpene profile centers on layered notes of ripe cherry and dark berries, supported by creamy cookie sweetness and finished with subtle hints of spice and fuel that translate clearly into the smoke.
With a pronounced 70/30 indica dominance, Cherry Burst delivers effects that begin with a gentle uplift before transitioning into deep physical relaxatio
