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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Rainbow Road

Fairy Tale Ending... Rainbow Road is an epic sativa dominant hybrid strain. It comes with the dial turned up to maximum for taste, effect and one of the biggest yields Paradise Seeds has engineered in its long history. This is a strain that is finely tuned thanks to its balanced genetics. Hindu Kush provides the stable foundations for robust healthy growth, while Strawberry Sativa supplies the rocket fuel to take this plant to the next level. Its sweet and fruity nature makes it a must have for those with a nose for terpenes, a passion for racing sativas and a wish for beautiful big oily buds. So what can you expect from Rainbow Road in the grow room? This high performance plant may need a bit of training in a limited grow space as it displays a ferocious appetite for growth. Fast in veg state it will stretch again when it begins to flower, possibly doubling in size. This growth spurt is accompanied by an intense sweet and fruity aroma and rapid development of unusually hard, dense buds thick with trichome crystal and oozing with resin. In the outdoor environment, Rainbow Road will also rise to the occasion, shooting for the sun in warmer zones where the sun will boost its big yiel
