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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Eye Candy

All the cookie type plants crossed exceptionally well with my Kush Cleaner stud. If you love cookies but hate how little it yields, this one is for you! The cookies flavor is dominant, but you will get a few that have the pine gas kush cleaner terpenes. Most plants look and taste like Thin Mint but yield 3x more. Like all cookie crosses I did get a few that had hermaphrodite issues in the test runs indoors and in the greenhouse. Outdoors they performed fine and did extremely well in areas that didn’t get much sun light. Indoor 9-10 Weeks Outdoor Mid-Late Oct
