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 Smelliot
Often referred to as "the little sister" of Sour Kush, Smelliot is made from the same genetic cross, but is a bit milder and less psychedelic than the Sour.
Sativa-dominant hybrid
Scent: Pine, fuel, menthol, with a backing citrus Kush element - very pungent (hence the name).
Flavor: A bit of a sweeter Kush flavor with strong soil notes dominates, with elements of the sharper pine, fuel, and citrus elements from the smell creeping in at times.
Effects: Much like its sister the Sour Kush, Smelliot starts off with a strong package of Sativa effects immediately, filling the head and eyes with pressure and adding some delay to mental activities. The spaciness continues as the effect builds over the first 15 minutes, culminating in a rush of thoughts and internal energy that makes doing much of anything a bit difficult. Cerebral and almost racy gives way to a much more relaxing state in the latter half of the duration, with the body calming down and the mind feeling positive and clear. Recommended for Sativa-lovers who can handle the initial rush - it’s a good creativity and mood-boosting strain, making anxiety melt away in the 2nd half
