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 Runtz

Following the release of Girl Scout Cookies, Gorilla Glue, Monster Zkittlez, Gelato, and Purple Punch, we bring you the next sought-after Cali strain: Runtz. Our breeders worked very hard to make this truly remarkable cultivar available for our European customers. And boy, has this work paid off! But what else can you expect from a cross of two of the most exciting, tasty, and potent strains to come out of Cali? To not tease you any longer—the magnificence of Runtz was achieved by crossing Gelato and Zkittlez. Enough said. Runtz is the current pinnacle of modern cannabis breeding, giving you one of the most balanced hybrids out there (50% sativa/50% indica), with peak potency and a terpene profile that smells just like a bag of fruity candy. So, let's get down to the nitty-gritty. Runtz stays relatively short in the grow room, reaching a moderate 80–130cm in height. One of the many cool things about this strain is its short flowering time of only 8–9 weeks. This means you won't have to wait long to feast on her purple and lime-green, resin-coated buds. Her yield is also very impressive. With a little love and care, Runtz is able to produce 450–500g/m² in the grow room. Grown outsid
