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 Kali China

New chinese hybrid related to Orient Express, but in this case an old Kali Mist sativa was crossed to our China Yunnan indica. An ideal female was selected from this cross: a plant with exotic incensey bouquet and excellent south east asian sativa effect but indica behavior, strong and robust, fast flowering and excellent adaptability to indoor growing. The ideal female was backcrossed again to China Yunnan to stabilize this behavior and to develop different lines in seed format. Resistance against SPIDER MITE: Medium Resistance against MILDEW: Medium Resistance against BOTRYTIS: Medium Resistance against COLD: Medium GENETICS: 60 % indica / 40 % sativa. Kali Mist/China x China. FLOWERING: 8-9 weeks. Late September - Early October STRUCTURE: Compact, robust and columnar indica structured plant. YIELD / M2: Medium-High. BOUQUET: Wood, incense, wet compost, mango with floral touches of violets. Effect: Complex sativa/indica effect. Psychedelic and uplifting sativa effect at the beginning with sedative enveloping sensations at the end of the trip. GROWING TIPS: Adapts excellently to indoor growing. In order to obtain the best results in indoors, we recommend warm temperatures (around
