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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Grape Skunk

This is a strong skunk genetic with lots of flavour. A indica dominant skunk with a fast growth, chunky buds and big leafs. Best grown with one huge top bud and not topped. If topped it needs a good vegetative phase and its best to pick some of the big leafs! Plants get not that big and its best to grow them in medium size pots close to each other (sea of green). Flavour is oldschool skunky, some smell more skunky and some will have a bit more lemony sour skunk aroma. The high is very relaxed and gives a happy feeling with a nice body buzz. Perfect for a chilled day in the sun or relaxing in the bathtube. genetic: Bella Ortega x Pineapple Gold indica/sativa: 65/35 flowering time: 56-60 days flavour: skunky, rotten, sour, lemon, earthy yield: medium-high
