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 Earth OG
Type: Mostly Sativa hybrid, Sour Diesel x OG Kush (thought to be Ghost’s, not verified though) Appearance: (7.5/10) While it seemed to be an impressive-looking strain, the sample we ended up with was composed mostly of rather small “popcorn buds” that weren’t terribly impressive to look at. They had nice structure (medium density) and were very frosty, but also had a loose manicure that left some yellowed leaves on, which knocked down the bag appeal a bit. There were also some tiny seeds spotted in the calyxes after grinding… Still though, a solid specimen that had us excited to give it a try. Aroma: (9/10) This is one of those strain combos where you can distinctly smell each one in the mix. The almost gingery/7UP quality of the OG Kush combined with the almost overwhelming fuel/skunk stank of the Sour Diesel blended nicely, especially after the grind. Initially the fuel dominated for sure, but the OG crept out after the grind and took over. Nicely pungent and impressive, high marks here. Taste: (8/10) Very similar to the smell, this was a bit fresher tasting and less-pungent than we expected from this cross, with the gingery/spicy bite of the OG Kush dominating, leaving a fuel-ti
