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 Krishna Kush
Krishna Kush from Colorado Seeds is a feminised cannabis strain created from Lavender and Gupta Kush with the goal of creating a powerful and tasty variety with good production and an Indica character that will be irresistible to growers. Krishna Kush stays compact in growth from the beginning, making it easy to cultivate in grow rooms with limited headroom. Its lush, dark green leaves can take on purple tones depending on the phenotype cultivated. A well-branching variety, it's perfectly suited to the SCROG (Screen of Green) technique being if employing a longer veg time, although it can also be grown in SOG (Sea of Green) at a rate of 20 plants per m2 by simply pruning the lower parts before switching to flowering. During its flowering phase it forms large, compact flowers and its high resin content makes it ideal for extractions or concentrates. Its flowering period is fast, reaching full maturity just 7 to 8 weeks after the photoperiod change. Krishna Kush is remarkably potent thanks to its high THC level of up to 27%, which makes it a good candidate for medicinal users seeking a physically relaxing effect, to reduce anxiety, to stimulate the appetite or assist sleep.
