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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Designer OG

Before all the named OG Kush clones, OG really only went by a few original monikers. One of those monikers was Pure Kush. Harkening back to before the Kush even had OG (meaning original) added to it. The original “Kush” clone, held onto and preserved in the hills above Hollywood. A popular clone with the in crowd, the HollyWood Pure Kush, aka HPK, was always highly regarded Kush and is a spitting image of the original, if not a carbon copy. Everything that is essential Kush is sure to be found in the Designer Line.
