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 Wreck
Urkel is one of California`s most sought after strain. It demands the highest price in any circle. It was crossed with the Train Wreck (T4) male. This improved the vigor of the Urkel, a notorious slow grower. The Purple Wreck has large Train Wreck buds with purple hues. The sweet fruity aroma of the Urkel dominates the cross. The Purple Wreck is short, early flowering and produces dense nugs. Appearance: The buds at first glance look very attractive. green with subtle hints of purple, especially in the leaves, and very nice trichrome coverage. the light orange hairs complement the calyx color very well. Aroma: When opening a vacuum sealed bag, my first thought was `oh shit!` the buds have a very strong sweet, perfumey smell. the smell fills whatever sized space you are in when opened. Taste: This is the best aspect of this herb for me. upon inhaling, the taste is indescribable but very delicious. once exhaled, their is a taste that leaves you smacking your lips. very delicious, fruity taste with a kushy hint that is good through the last hit. absolute perfection as far as the taste goes. High: I really enjoy the high from Purple Wreck it is a good indica buzz but without any real c
