Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
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, 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 Persuasion
Purple Persuasion is sort of a sequel to our Pink LemonAid — the strain that put us on the breeders map. Our primary goal in this endeavor was an attempt to pass on the vivid pink that is thematic of our Pink LemonAid. So, we paired her up with a virile male of our creation: Pink Dream (Blue Dream X Huckleberry Hound). The female Pink Dream showcases luminous pinks and reds in her flowers, and is vigorous with healthy yields. We were confident that a male Pink Dream would make a perfect match to Pink LemonAid.
Well, the result — Purple Persuasion — surpassed our expectations in all four phenotypes. All share the same sativa growth structure, and yet each has a unique distinguishing characteristic about it. Purple Persuasion #2 is nearly indistinguishable from Pink LemonAid #2 when set side by side, but we give the edge to the progeny for its increased yield. Phenotype #5 showcases traits that we’ve never seen in any cannabis strain before. During Week 3 of the flowering cycle, before the buds have clustered, the apical bud sites of the plant will have purple veins and midribs on the fan leaves. We’ve seen plants where the buds and leaves color up towards the end of the flowering cy
