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 Franks Gift

It has been a crazy couple of weeks here at The Guild. Our brother Frank has relapsed again and has started Chemotherapy. I needed to find a high CBD plant that was also rich in THC. We were finding tons of 1:1 in the low ranges and some nice 18:1 that but still fairly low in total percentage. We needed to get him as much medication at a time as we could. I asked the universe for help, but when trying seeds and clones (from well meaning people) that have no tests on them it is a process of growing them out, getting them tested, and hoping for the best. This girl was a seed. When growing out a CBD strain that is considered CBD rich you have a 1 in 4 chance of actually growing a plant that has any CBD at all. I had my room in tester mode at that time, growing out a bunch of supposed high CBD strains. When I grow testers I like to keep them in smaller pots and run them short and bushy. This girl did not even complain a bit. She grew nice large arms, dense buds, nice skunky lemon smell, finished quickly at 63 days. She was pretty, too pretty to be high CBD. I would of bet any of you at that time this plant was a high THC pheno. Some of the other plants had that airy, larfy, pencil shav
