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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Diesel

Cherry Diesel is also known as Cherry Turbo Diesel: it is a cross of Cherry OG and Turbo Diesel, which together bring their best qualities to this blend. Cherry Diesel smells pungent and brings the grower a very cherry flavour profile with sweet Diesel undertones, a really classy and very tasty terpene profile! You can also grow this cannabis strain effortlessly, it is very fast and therefore also recommended outdoors, as long as you grow it in a somewhat rain-protected spot. Cherry Diesel likes to be grown in sea-of-green and she likes a lot of fertilizer, but she also thrives without fertilizer, so she is a great strain for beginners
