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 Pura Vida

Pura Vida is good life bud. Taking the queen of kush cuts and letting the Appalachia male do its love magic thing, a very beautiful strain has arisen from the scented breasts of the earth mother. Aromas and flavors of deep feminine earthy woody musky menthol pine creme fresh on a funky under layer of chem citron. Deep thoughts and easy stepping, this is a sativa dominant play on the kush and chem families. 9 weeks from clone, upper medium harvest bounty. Love the life you live!
