Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
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, 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 Hibiscus Sunrise
The Hibiscus Sunrise is an evenly balanced Hybrid that produces aromas of fruit trees and tropical flowers in the sun; and is also known to be great “beach chair weed.” The plants produce buds that are packed with trichomes, on very strong stems that need little support in flower. Node length is short but can create beautiful continuous colas. Hibiscus Sunrise is a fairly light feeder and can flush about a week longer than most. Be sure to give extra time in veg and pack a bit tighter in flower to increase yields.
