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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Purple Buddha

Specifics: The Purps x Blue Buddha Flowering Time: Indoors: 7-8 weeks The Purple Buddha (aka Buddhas Aura) is a BCBD work in progress that is aimed at combining the best of both parents, the 2007 Cannabis Cup award-winning The Purps and the Blue Buddha. She is currently in the F1 stage and we are working on her further now. Currently you can expect 3 phenotypes. She finishes quicker than the Purps with better yields, and combines the grape flavors of the Purps with the creamy berry tastes of the Blue Buddha
