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 Grilled Cheese

Beautiful strain. Indica dominant. Thick strong smoke done in 8.5 weeks flowering time. Very dense. Stinky hard buds. The mom is a very stinky, cheesy, reeky strain that will stink up a car very quickly it's called "master cheese" it was a lucky bagseed find. Not the easiest plant to grow but very unique and exotic. The father of this cross is a very indica leaning Bananas Foster male resembling his father the purple Afghani male. Short stout growth habit dense flowers,sporting lots of purple and pink colours at the leaf tips and outer buds. I'm very happy with how the grilled cheese cross came up and its potential as a high end extraction strain
