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 Mendo Breath

Mendo Breath cannabis strain, GKB × Mendo Montage hybridMendo Breath is a cross between GKB, short for Grape Kush Breath, and Mendo Montage, which combines high-quality genetic characteristics. This hybridisation gives it vigorous growth, a compact structure, and abundant trichome production. It also inherits its distinctive aroma, which combines sweetness and depth thanks to Kush and sugary influences. Indoors, it reaches a height of 100-120cm with a flowering period of 56-70 days for a yield of up to 500g per m2. Outdoors, it grows to 150-180cm and it is ready to harvest in early October with a yield of up to 1000g per plant. This strain copes well with canopy management techniques, which help to optimise yields. Good environmental control and balanced nutrition will improve yield and flower quality. Mendo Breath harvest, notes of vanilla and caramelMendo Breath feminised strain offers a complex and refined taste experience. Its terpene profile is composed mainly of deep earthy notes, enhanced by hints of vanilla and caramel that give it a sweet and lingering taste in the mouth. Its effects provide intense and deep relaxation, ideal for unwinding after a long day. Its physical se
