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 Cotton Candy Cane

We have crossed our own Blueberry Headband with Sweet Tooth to produce this super high yielding and very sweet smelling tasty lady, the plant still carries the vigorous veg growth and tight internal stacking of the Blueberry Headband but with the addition of the Sweet Tooth it brings out the sweet berry undertones that were underlying in the original Blueberry Headband making this plant a veritable smell and taste sensation. Also highly resistant to mold and powdery mildew makes her excellent for outdoor use if you have the space, if not then she thrives just as well indoors. Genetics: Blueberry Headband x Sweet Tooth Indica/Sativa: 50/50 Yield: High Harvest: Early October Stature: Medium and heavy
