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.

About Clementine Kush
Clementine Kush is a cross of two of our most well-known strains: Tangerine Sunrise (which was ranked one of the top ten Colorado marijuana strains of 2014), and our inbred line, the Gupta Kush. The combination yields a bright, very happy, and relaxing smoke. The citrus notes and mellow Hawaiian vibes come through from the Tangerine side and complement the strength and earthy musk of the Gupta line. It’s a bright, functional, uplifting sativa that tastes like you’ve just inhaled an orange blossom. Beautiful trich-covered colas smell of oranges and kush weed. Most plants are taller and can be heavily topped or bent to increase yield. Genetics Tangerine Sunrise x Gupta Kush
