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 Nerds

Some strains say it all with their names, and this is one of them. Just like the tangy fruit candies she's named after, Nerds is a sweet hybrid cannabis strain with bold aromas of grapes and ripe berries. Plus, she also packs plenty of THC for a well-balanced effect that elevates the mind while relaxing the body. Keep reading to learn more about the Nerds cannabis strain, its origins, genetics, and more. History of the Nerds Cannabis Strain Nerds is a fairly low-key cannabis hybrid allegedly created by Adam Jacques, a breeder based in Eugene, Oregon and previously the leader of the Oregon Microgrowers Guild. Crowned Most Influential Grower in the Northwest by Canna Magazine, Jacques is known to work directly with medical cannabis patients in his local area to help them find strains and products (such as oils) capable of providing tailored relief. Genetic Lineage of Nerds Nerds (also known as Nerdz, Nerdz OG, Blue or Pink Nerds) is a hybrid cannabis strain stemming from Strawberry Cough and Grape Ape. Below we'll explore both of these strains and their traits to see what they may have imparted on Nerds. Strawberry Cough, as its name suggests, is a strain with a pronounced strawberry
