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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Pie

Grand Daddy Purps x Durban Poison Not to be confused with "Cherry Pie Kush" Flowering Time: 8 to 9 weeks indoors and the end of October outdoors Yield: Cherry Pie is a medium to high yielding marijuana strain Look: Nice chunky dense nugs covered in trichomes and orange hairs. Because it is a GDP cross, this strain has little patches of purple here and there. The first time I saw this strain I was very impressed with it’s bag appeal. Smell: Cherry Pie smells like a bakery, just think baked goods with cherry and a hint of sourness. The GDP comes through in this cross, with it’s sweet floral smell shining through. Taste: Tastes a lot like it smells, sweet on the inhale, then the sour spicy flavor from the Durban comes through on the exhale. Effects: Although Cherry Pie is an Indica dominant strain, it isn’t too heavy and you can still function and get things done. I’m a big fan of Hybrids strains and this has a good mixture of both head and body, leaning a little more towards body. It is very calming, yet it doesn’t knock you out. Medical Uses: Muscle relaxant, pain relief, insomnia, appetite, anxiety, stress
