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 Snowman

The Purple Snowman is GGG official remake of the clone-only Grape Stomper aka Sour Grapes (featured in High Times and winner of 3 Cali Cups). It has pleasant sativa qualities and good yields which can produce marijuana with over 25% THC! Purple Snowman's sweet taste comes from its purple side, is covered with crystals unlike any other strain, and rivals the best strains in potency. Grape Stomper was originally created by Gage Green Genetics. The cut was taken by a friend, sold to Blue Sky Collective, and renamed to Sour Grapes.
