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 El Patron
El Patron: A Flexible Strain For Any Time Of Day
Buying cannabis seeds can be uncertain business. Unless you’ve tried the strain before, you won't be completely aware of what you’re getting yourself into. However, there are several ways to determine the quality of a cannabis strain without having it in front of you. One factor to consider is if the strain has won any legitimate awards. El Patron is one such award winner. She won first place for “Common Weed Cultured in Soil” at the Highlife Cup—judged by a verified panel of cannabis experts, making it a real seal of approval. El Patron was created by crossbreeding parent strains AMG and Shiva. AMG （Amnesia Mac Ganja） is a sativa-dominant hybrid that packs a THC level of 22% and stimulating effects. In contrast, Shiva is an indica strain that offers tastes of cardamom and a therapeutic high. By crossing these cultivars, our breeders created a well-balanced hybrid that features 60% sativa genetics and 40% indica. El Patron is loaded with THC and fruity terpenes. Effect, flavour and aroma
Some smokers adore a sativa buzz, whereas others value an indica body high. El Patron occupies the sweet spot between these territories. The strain
