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 Key Lime Pie

Key Lime Pie is a gourmet phenotype of Girl Scout Cookie, known for its strong indica properties & unique taste with subtle notes of cotton candy, chocolate, and spice. Expect medium-sized buds with heavy amounts of resin and just a hint of purple. The finished flowers take about 9 to 10 weeks and are well worth the wait. The effect can only be described as strong and powerful, which our more seasoned growers find to be the ultimate prize. However, those less familiar with the effects of cannabis may find this strain to be a bit overwhelming.... Consider yourself warned. Flower Time: 9-10 Weeks Yield: Medium
