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 Elvis
There were quite a few potential hybrids passing our testlabs during the last 10-12 years, but the most obvious strain to cross them with had been put aside due to the desire to breed with some of the more modern strains. Being such a strong dominant strain there were a lot of phenotypical inconsistencies in their F2-F4 offspring, and due to the unstable nature of the modern hybrid parents we found it difficult to get beyond the F4 generation and still have the original donorplants in good health. This bring me back to that obvious strain that we put aside, which has proven to be at the top of the list for many successful breeding programs, the Pure aka Skunk#1 from the Flying Dutchmen. There are a few female "the Pure" phenotypes in our library, ranging from great growth improvement to the incredible aromas from the Skunk #3 (Drietje), and "the Pure" males are very predictable in regards to breeding with them. The Elvis is a combination of two powerhouses of the Cannabis world, with the intense AK47 Sativa high that made this the most popular strain ever made and the sweet skunky aftertaste that improves the smoothness of the overall smoke. These sweet Skunky aroma's are not overp
