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 Nuken

While most people look at marijuana and cringe over the possibility of acquiring unwanted psychedelic effects while forcefully getting drowned in a pungent and odorous stench, they are missing all the other delightful experiences and exotic flavors that the plant can offer. Contrary to the popular belief of cannabis critics, weed can offer varying intensities in its high and may take on different delightful flavors that can range from fruity to candy-like. Although the infamous pungent taste and skunky aroma of pot are common traits of a highly potent classic strain, it may not always be the case for some strains. In fact, here is a pretty good example of a cannabis variety with an incredible potency, a well-rounded high and an unexpectedly delicious flavor. This strain is called Nuken. Nuken is like a dangerously potent yet innocently sweet strain. Unlike most weed with more or less the same potency, this tough pot tastes more like candy, giving users an interestingly delicious high. On top of that, the strain has a solid lineage behind it that only strengthen its credibility. Read on and learn more about this strain.
