Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the lab-verifiable 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). Cannabinoid type is set largely by a single gene (the THC:CBD ratio); about 96% of commercial flower is Type I, THC-dominant. Terpene profiles are sourced from Certificates of Analysis (COA) and roll out as Areto’s lab-verified 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 Paradise Punch
Paradise Punch is an indica-leaning hybrid (70% indica / 30% sativa) crafted from the flavorful fusion of Papaya and Purple Punch. This dynamic pairing results in a strain that delivers a tropical sensory escape paired with deeply comforting effects—like a sunset on a warm island evening.
Its flavor profile is rich and exotic, led by juicy papaya sweetness layered with ripe mixed berries. On the inhale, bright tropical fruit dominates, while subtle hints of citrus and spicy blueberry emerge on the exhale. The aroma mirrors the taste, filling the air with fragrant papaya, zesty fruit, and a gentle berry spice that lingers pleasantly.
The effects begin almost immediately after exhaling. A wave of uplifting cerebral euphoria washes over the mind, easing racing thoughts and dissolving negativity into a blissful calm. As mental tension fades, a soothing warmth gradually spreads throughout the body, relaxing the limbs and encouraging full physical ease. This comforting body high eventually settles into a tranquil state that can pave the way for restful sleep.
With a potent THC content averaging between 26% and 29%, Paradise Punch delivers long-lasting, full-spectrum effects. Its combinat
