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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Punch

Purple Punch is an Indica dominant hybrid that produces compact plants, reaching about 90-110cm in indoors cannabis growth, and rarely exceeding 140-160cm outdoors. Purple Punch has a fairly fast flowering period of about 50-60 days when grown indoors. It is ready to harvest during the second half of September outdoors in the northern hemisphere. Purple Punch's harvest is generous, 00 Seeds estimate yields of about 650- 700g per m2 indoors and easily over 500g per plant outdoors in open ground. Purple Punch harvest, exotic flavour and powerful effect Purple Punch's harvest is made up of dense and compact flowers, with fleshy calyxes that can acquire purplish colours, which contrast with the thick white resin layer that covers them. The resin production combined with a luscious, rich and intense terpenes profile makes Purple Punch a strain perfectly suited for resin extractions. Purple Punch's flavour combines grape and blueberry notes on a floral, earthy and sweet background, while its effect is intensely relaxing, thanks to its THC level of 22%. 00 Seeds Purple Punch info: Type: Feminised cannabis seed Genetics: Purple Punch Indica Sativa hybrid Flowering: 50-60 days Harvest: 10 t
