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 Sour Cookies

One of the most popular clones in Europe, the Riri Cut of Reservoir Seeds' Sour Diesel, has been crossed with one of the most sought-after varieties in the world, and has become very popular, used in many recent cannabis crosses, the famous Girl Scout Cookies. We can expect a mainly Sativa-leaning hybrid, very vigorous in vegetative growth, as well as during flowering. The internode space can be quite large, so keep an eye on the height of the plants and don't hesitate to use pruning or training techniques during its development. The union of these two great tasting genetics has produced an explosion of flavour in the shape of Sour Cookies, while the effect is very positive and highly stimulating.
