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 Ice

Purple Ice F3 - This plant’s lineage is widely disputed and unconfirmed, and it is also a very hard strain to find. Purple Ice smells flowery, earthy, berry. It is a very easy plant to grow. Outside, she prefers a warm, dry spot and needs to be kept away from frost, but she needs cold nights to turn purple. It is highly resistant to common molds and mildew and doesn't need or want lots of nutrients. This F3 hybrid has been bred for more of the Indica side, resulting in a slightly shorter plant that has nice size flowers. It's great for all day or night when you don't want to be couch locked. Purple Ice is excellent meds for stress, insomnia or nausea. Also good for PTSD. Flowering time is 8 to 9 weeks
