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 Pineapple Express
The Pineapple Express mother of this union was gifted to us many years ago by a gentle human who insisted that we have it. Are we ever delighted that we gratefully accepted this most kind gift as we’ve managed to keep her since that very first harvest, and she reigns as one of our top 5 strains after all these years! The only sensible thing for us to do was to grant her some alone time with our Huckleberry Hound male — an absolute stud. Everything he touches turns to gold, or, rather, everything he touches turns to pleasant shades of pink and purple. And what could be better than a Purple Pineapple Express that has turned out to be an absolute powerhouse!
The siblings inherited plenty of purple from the gene pool, as well as healthy yields, profuse resin production, and rich fusions of tropical fruits, coffee, and pine aromas. #4 is so densely-packed with oily resin heads that the trichomes appear to have trichomes! Of the four phenotypes, three will branch out into large round bushes when pruned, and their abundant green leaves can be coaxed to finish in beautiful autumn colors as temperatures cool toward the end of the flowering cycle. Last, but not least, all phenols of our Purp
