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 Lemon Kush Headband
After receiving an elite cut of the 215 Super-bud in 2011, we were intrigued with its unique structure, color and fragrant aromas and decided to subject it to a breeding regimen. It was first crossed with an elite Headband male, which created a stronger resistance complemented by stronger petrol and citrus overtones. A selection was made and two more backcrosses furthered this fusion, establishing its F3 status. The final cross of an elite True OG male was added to increase taste, ensuring the flavor penetrated all the way through. The result was a stunning display of size, color, smell and, most of all, flavor. Sweet citrus undertones enter your palate as gassy sour overtones blend well providing a long-lasting cerebral effect. Finishing in just a short 9-week cycle, the structure needs support, which is best provided by a trellis where the large elongated colas heavy with high resin counts can rest easy during the final stages. An absolute gem, opening up new doors within the realms of flavor as this new creation performs from every angle giving the home grower something to smile about. Flavor x Resistance x Yield = HSO
