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 K1
K1 a.k.a. Kalité Tizane is a pure sativa landrace marijuana strain from the island of La Réunion located off the eastern coast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. The Bourbob Breeders there have stabilised this special strain over a period of a decade or more with the result that hermaphroditism has been reduced to a rate below 5%. K1 performs to its full potential when grown outdoors close to or within the tropics, ideally planted directly into the ground although a minimum of 35 liter pots will suffice. If grown indoors from cuttings it is highly recommended to go straight to 12/12 (light/dark) in order to keep some control over the stretch that these plants will undergo. Yields outdoors can exceed 1000 gr/plant of dried buds. This is not a strain for the novice; it requires some skill and a lot of patience. Indoors it will take between 110 - 130 days of flowering (12/12) whereas outdoor cultivators can expect to harvest their plant(s) by the end of November north of the equator. Definitely an exotic sativa for the dedicated outdoor enthusiast in warmer climates. YIELD 1000 gr/plant plus
