Areto Research estimateNot published by the breeder. Areto Research estimated this with AI-assisted review of the strain’s name, reported parentage and commonly described traits; it is not a source, a lab result or a prediction for any product. Details marked “general guess” have low confidence. Each estimate is replaced as soon as a breeder publishes that detail.
