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 Tears

Purple Tears is Delahaze x Querkle. I selected an Urkle dom male and hit the Delahaze. When I popped and grew out the first few seeds and topped them they bled purple. This is where the Purple Tears name came from. Purple Tears stacks nice tight internodes and produces heavy resin coated buds with purple inner calyx. Shes a heavy hitting potent indica with a hashy grape or grape gasoline flavor. Great for pain relief and sleep. I like to take mine around 63 days. Ive been selecting for color resin, flavor and is currently in its F3 generation
