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 Shiatsu Kush
Going above and beyond the call of duty, BC Bud Depot recently traveled to Japan to meet in secret with the underground breeders of Shiatsu Kush - a strain developed on the island of Amami Lshima - bred specifically to target the shiatsu regions of the body. Having previously never left the shores of Japan, BC Bud Depot acquired these special genetics to make them available for worldwide release. A quick finisher with great yields and tremendous bag appeal, the Shiatsu Kush is an exotic strain that has particular medical benefits for those suffering chronic pain - by way of releasing all stresses and tension. Extremely relaxing and ridiculously potent! Genetics: Indica / Sativa Hybrid
Specifics: Japanese Shiatsu Kush
Flavour: Exotic narcotic taste
Flowering Time: Indoor: 8 weeks
