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.

Growing King Louis: Short in Stature But Big on YieldsKing Louis isn't just of royal kin—she has standout growth traits to hold her own weight. Descending from OG Kush and LA Confidential, King Louis boasts 75% indica dominance and a short stature that's ideal for small cultivation spaces. Indoors, for example, King Louis plants grow to 120 cm, meaning they can flourish in small tents, rooms, or even cupboards. Outdoors, on the other hand, King Louis plants grow only slightly taller, maxing out at 130 cm—ideal for a stealthy operations.
