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 Qush

Just imagine the smell of kush combined with the candy flavoring of Sweet Tarts. The main goals we set out to accomplish was to increase the resin production and improved flavor and taste. Improved yields and hybrid vigor came along in the compact but high yielding hybrid we call Qush. Not only is it easy to grow, it is quite a powerful medicine designed for anti-anxiety and relaxation as well as help with nausea. Phenotypes: Short and compact and unmistakably kush. The only variance is a slight difference in the fruit smell, some cherry, some grape and some citrus Height: Stocky and robust with nice support branching and large round flower formations Yield: Large poodle style flowers with medium density, chunky and fat buds. Even smaller plants produce higher than average weight Indoor and Outdoor Best way to grow: Plant naturally stays short and is easy to train into a dense canopy. Increase veg times for higher yields Harvest: 55-60 days Sat/Ind: 30/70 Hybrid: Bubba Kush Pre-98 x Space Queen High Type: Stoney and relaxing, only a few hits bring on an overall calmness. Strong but does not cause anxiety or nervousness. Times seems to slow but the imagination soars and you find you
