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 Solar Flare
Lineage: （Original Diesel x Zkittles #3） x Planet Purple F2
Sex: Regular
Growth Characteristics: True Hybrid growth pattern amenable to topping and training. Before All the named cuts of “Diesel, ECSD, AJ, etc.”, there were only a few names in circulation related to “Diesel”, around 2003, that I was aware of. There was Sour Diesel, Original Diesel, and “Chem”… Not much else was known. I received clones of many named and similar “diesel” plants over the last 15+ years. But the one that always stuck in my personal garden and always seemed to be the “best”, in side by side comparisons of diesels, was the “Original Diesel” I received from forum user, Schrooomy. It was always the skunkiest, most fume-y, smoothest tasting waxy diesel in the room. For flavor and true diesel form, it was always #1 for me. In an effort to bring down the flower time and just take a peek into the possibilities, we made Original Diesel x Zkittles feminized hybrid and grew those out. To be honest, that hybrid was all over the place. Some were pure diesel. Some, a weird fruity thing with weak resin, but one out of the 20 stood out to me. With an intense blossoming honeysuckle diesel smell and bright orange pisti
