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 Hammerhead

Indica plant structure, fast growth and flowering. It is easy to grow and requires no special care. This plant is very grateful because it is very productive, and the buds are compacted in an extraordinary manner, which delayed a few days of drying. Another feature is the transformation into purple, not only the leaves but also the flower and the plant takes on a spectacular look. Thanks to its high CBD content, it has a great narcotic effect and muscle relaxant, an attribute that makes it excellent for some medicinal uses. Its flavour reminds us of that from the ‘white’ family, but it hides a sweet tone that gives a distinctive touch. 80% Indica / 20% Sativa Genotype: White Rhino x Medicine Man THC: 15-20% CBD: High Growing period indoor: 2-3 weeks Indoor flowering period: 55-60 days Indoor production per m2: more than 500gr Outdoor height: 2-3m, growing well in width Outdoor harvest: from September 15th Outdoor yield: High
