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 Horchata
Horchata is an Indica dominant hybrid encounter between Jet Fuel Gelato and Mochi Gelato. Jet Fuel Gelato is one of the flagship strains and early works by Compound Genetics. Mochi Gelato is also known as Gelato #47.
Horchata strain, easy to grow cannabis with a generous harvest Horchata is a strong, shrubby, dense flowering plant. It has a great ability to adapt to different growing conditions, offering generous yields. Horchata requires about 10 weeks to fully mature. Both experienced and novice growers can obtain a harvest with quality flowers due to its easy and grateful cultivation. This variety responds very well to SCROG cultivation. Horchata offers a yield of up to 650g per m2 indoors, while outdoors it can delivers a similar yield, with the harvest ready in mid-October in the Northern Hemisphere.
Horchata, sweet and high THC level Horchata delivers a sweet aroma, with a vanilla, skunk and menthol background. Terpenes such as caryophyllene, limonene, pinene and myrcene are noted, which emphasise a lot of nuances in its bouquet. Thanks to the resin quality, it is certainly a very suitable variety to elaborate concentrates. Horchata is a potent strain. It can reach a THC leve
