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 Snow Cone

An Extremely potent cross between a Snowman S1 and a 707 Chemdawg male. Snowman initially comes from Pie Guy from the cookie family. It’s a cross between their Florida OG and Thin Mint Cookies. Mixed with a 707 Chemdawg male, this is a dream plant to grow. As the name suggests, Snow Cone grows large trichome covered flowers with beautifully saturated purple hues. It has an overwhelming aroma of sweet marshmallows with a little skunky soapy lemon fuel tones. Harvest: Indoor 8-10 Weeks Outdoor Late Oct
