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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Marmalade

The Story goes that marmalade was invented in 1700, when a storm-damaged Spanish ship, carrying Seville Oranges, sought refuge in Dundee harbour (Great Britain). The cargo was sold cheaply to James Keilller, a down on his luck local merchant, whose wife turned it into a preserve. Now known as Marmalade and also Paddington Bear’s favourite spread. We crossed our Original Exodus Cheese Clone with our multiple award winning strain ODV3 to make this special and unique hybrid with amazing citrus gassy oranges with a twist of musky rotten fruits. Expect plants to be short to medium height with high calyx to leaf ratio with dense compact lime green flowers. Genetics: Exodus Cheese X Orange Diesel V3 Type: Hybrid Sex: Regular Flowering: 55 – 65 days Height: Short to Medium Area: Indoor or Outdoor
