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 Raspberry Diesel

This sativa dominant hybrid was the result of our sweet Cherry Afghan x Sour Diesel. Fast and vigorous vegetative growth, its long spacing between the nodal sites make for ample light penetration to secondary regions of the plant. Little time is needed for the vegetative state, as Raspberry Diesel will more than double during the flowering period. Trellising is recommended to maximize production as large rock hard Raspberry shaped buds will appear all the way down the stem. Known for having an incredibly high resin count and finishes in just 63-68 days. The sweet berry essence is supported by hints of anise and gassy notes. Effects are quite functional for daytime use and are great for active use. Raspberry Diesel is a unique and meticulously selected phenotype specifically for any collector’s library
