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 OG Cheese

For a long time, the original Cheese was only available as clone-only strain. It is with great proud that we offer this UK classic in the form of feminized seeds. OG Cheese is renowned for its cheese-like fragrance and trippy high. The leaves between the buds are tiny and uniform, revealing its Skunk genes. The relative short flowering time combined with its excellent yielding qualities makes Cheese a popular variety amongst commercial growers. Flowering Indoor: 50-60 days Flowering Outdoor: Mid October Genetics: OG Skunk #1 x Afghani THC 15-18%
