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 Santa Sativa

The sativa cousin of MobyDick, has the same character relating to the lighting and feeding; the effect is of a better quality than her cousin, more mental and elevated, not so heavy. She needs lots of zinc, iron, nitrogen, magnesium and a PH not above 6.3, avoiding this way deficiency of iron or zinc. A well aireated, light and warm medium is fundamental to avoid this kind of deficiency. She grows a lot with plenty of vigour will be on need of great space to avoid seeing her limited. She has a great adaptability for a scrog and can be easily bended outdoors too if we don`t want the plant to grow very high. The predominant smells are wood and pine with a touch of spices, with a strong smell after been cured; the THC level is quite high, a strong and clear effect. Extreme potency. Flowering time: 65-70 Days. Harvest Outdoor: 15 - 25 October. THC: Very High. (16% -20%) CBD: Low. Production: Very High. Height outdoor: Up to 4,5 meter. Genetic: Sativa with 20% Indica. Crossing: Haze x (Northern Lights x Skunk)
