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.

Effects: Powerful Indica Body High Cherry Punch from our ‘Collector’s Edition’ range has an excellent heritage stemming from Purple Punch （Larry OG x Grand Daddy Purple） and Cherry Pie （F1 Durban Poison x Grand Daddy Purple）. Purple Punch is renowned for her sweet and succulent dessert like fruity flavour and potent body high while Cherry Pie is famous for her delicious sweet cherry flavour and her euphoric and uplifting effects. Our Cherry Punch delivers the best of both worlds from both her illustrious parents. Her flavour is very rich initially delivering bursts of sweet cherry with more sour undertones coming through later in the hit while her aroma is more sweet, fruity and pungent. Her effects are very indica leaning, deep relaxation and relief kicking in immediately from the first hit and becoming more and more sedative with each passing hit, but pure bliss and relief throughout. Cherry Punch offers a very positive social experience by increasing your creative expression whi
