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 30%Sativa 70%

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 Haze

This vigorous cannabis hybrid expresses the best features of its parent strains ? a soaring Haze high combined with the thick resin production of the best Indicas. While not tall enough to ?kiss the sky?, plants are statuesque and beautiful, with long, running buds that possess pleasing density and a sticky coating of trichomes. Purple Haze is darker than most Sativas ? closer to the deep green of Afghanis than the lime green of equatorial strains. When exposed to low temperatures near the end of flowering, leaves and calyxes can rapidly change colour from dark green to lavender or violet. The Haze smell is subtle when plants are growing, becoming much richer and sharper when buds are harvested and dried. FLOWERING: 50 - 65 DAYS HEIGHT: 110-150cm YIELD: up to 150g
