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 30%Sativa 70%

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 Chiesel

In the modern times of breeding, a combination of 2 of the best flavours around the cheese with diesel, we present the ‘C H I E S E L’ The male used was an NYC Diesel from the legendry Soma! The male added enough hybrid vigour and a distinctive hint of that grapefruit diesel taste to the ever popular cup winning Big Buddha Cheese. The taste concoction of old skool mixed with the new fuel hints, is a highly unique and a very memorable one. The C H I E S E L grows similar to its mother, a slender looking fast flowering Sativa with indica impressions. The CHIESEL is truly a unification of two great varieties! Say Cheese? Say CHIESEL! Parents: Big Buddha Cheese x Soma NYCD Male. Genetics: 60% Sativa; 40% Indica Flowering time Indoor: 8 - 10 weeks Harvesting time Outdoor: Beginning November. Sensory experience: Extremely uplifting, unique, old skool meets new skool. Smell: Cheese, Dieselness, a real connoisseur’s delight!
