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 Sour Mints
Kush Mints is a parental that was once used to develop KmintZ, a top selling by this seedbank. Now, Ripper Seeds has released a whole line of Limited Editions with this great variety as the reverse parental, with hybrids such as Payton Delight, Motor Mint and London Mint Cake. The parental crossed with Kush Mints is the famous Sour Ripper. A variety that broke the market and with a notoriety still in force. Ripper Seeds has sought to improve Sour Diesel's yields and has achieved this as well as improving other characteristics. It produces hard resinous flowers with large, showy calyxes. The aroma they give off is sour and citrus, with many petrol notes.
