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 El Jefe

El Hefe El Jefe is an extremely large cross between the p91 and the SD Hog. Another notable provider of mile high medicine is QTÀ Gardens. Having recently had the pleasure of touring QT's garden, I must say that he is growing some of the healthiest and most potent marijuana that this patient has ever seen. His "El Jefe" (The Boss) indica strain is well suited for my specific medicinal use due to its high potency (my doctor insists that I vaporize only the highest potency cannabis) and muscle spasm-relieving qualities
