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 Red Pop
The Strawberries and Cream “Red Pop” Pheno was hunted by @regiemillers, who then shared the cut with Exotic Mike, who went on to create the Red Pop line that we all know and love. He describes it as smelling exactly like a Faygo Red Pop. Keep reading to learn more about this strain, its origins, effects, lineage, and then some. Strain History of Red Pop Red Pop is a hybrid strain created by Exotic Genetix—a now-renowned cannabis genetics company from Tacoma, Washington. Exotic Genetix's founder, Exotic Mike, is a highly regarded name in the cannabis genetics business. His career, however, started humbly—namely at his local hydroponic store, where Mike would put in hours in exchange for gardening equipment. Seeing local medical patients running into problems with bugs and pathogens (which landed in their gardens/grow rooms on the very same clones they bought), Mike got the idea to start his own seed project and give those growers a clean, pest-free start. Every time a customer would walk into the hydro store where Mike worked asking for advice on pest control, he would hand them a free pack of seeds and tell them to go clean their tent/room. After years of handing out free seeds, Mi
