Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
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, 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 Papaya
Papaya from V Elementum seeds is a predominantly Indica cannabis strain created by crossing Papaya with Kush, giving a productive, powerful and fragrant cannabis variety, with a pronounced papaya aroma. Papaya's growth is vigorous, making it easy to grow indoors and outdoors, blooming quickly and appealing to fans of fast-growing strains with a relaxing effect. Papaya Kush's flowering period is fast - it's ready for harvest in only 55 days, forming large, dense flowers covered with a thick layer of resin. Its indoor yield is 600g per m2 and when grown outdoors in ideal conditions, it can produce up to 1600g per plant, and can be harvested at the end of September. As the name suggests, the taste and smell of Papaya are dominated by a tropical fruit flavour, with an earthy background forming a very special sensation in the mouth. Its effect is relaxing, typical of an Indica, accompanied by sativa notes for a calm yet sociable high. V Elementum Papaya info: Type: Feminized seeds
