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 Citron

Citron is a premium feminized hybrid of two terpene-rich cannabis cultivars—Clementine and Animal Cookies. This produces sticky buds that reek of citrus, cookie dough, and Skunk. Citron offers a unique twist on the sweet-and-sour flavor of Animal Cookies. By combining Clementine with the legendary Animal Cookies cut, Greenpoint Seeds has created Citron—a top-shelf hybrid that offers a and exotic flavor. This cultivar provides a generous yield of buds that have the bag appeal of Cookies and the sweet, fruity scent of Clementine. Citron Feminized Cannabis Seeds Greenpoint Seeds pollinated the prized cut of Clementine from Crockett Family Farms with the clone-only Animal Cookies cut. The resulting offspring, known as Citron, offers many phenotypes that exhibit the award-winning traits of both Clementine and Animal Cookies. Some plants may lean toward the uplifting and citrusy aroma of Clementine, and others may offer the sleepy and exceptional resin production of Animal Cookies. Most Citron phenotypes will display a mixture of traits from both parents. Citron is a feminized. Feminized seeds make the growing process easy by eliminating the need to identify and remove male plants from t
