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 Kimbo Kush

With Kimbo the idea was to take the beautiful and potent Platinum Blackberry Kush and combine it with the Frost on frost of the F2 stud. Mission accomplished…..The results range from dark and frosty to darker and frostier! She will grow nice sturdy colorful nugs, improving on the spaghetti like structure of the original mother, and adding an additional element of frost appeal. Mostly hearty berry flovors and smells, while keeping the power of stone in tact with this gal. Mother: Blackberry Kush Father: Starfighter F2 TA Family: 70/30 Indica Dominant Growing Conditions: Multi Topped Shrub Height: Medium Indoor Flowering Time: 50-56 Days Yield: Medium-Heavy Producer
