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 Pineapple
We played match maker once again and introduced a couple of our shining stars to one another. Our long-time favorite Pineapple Express female (famed parent of Prism and Purple Pineapple Express) met a stellar male of our own creation: Pink Dream (father of Cherry Sprite, Strawberry Mamba, Sour Cyclone, and Purple Persuasion); where they stayed together for a few weeks time. Although both parents possess sativa-type highs, Pink Dream and Pineapple Express also have fairly hard come-downs, so we hoped that these two sativas chromosomes would combine in just the right way as to allow for a nice expansive and creative daytime-high without slamming you down hard as its effects wear off. While we don’t typically go too far into making detailed descriptions regarding the effects of combusted cannabis flowers (as most folks seem to have different experiences), we’d like to believe that we hit the mark on this one! If sour, sweet, and fuel-funk often equate to being creative, uplifting, and euphoric then this is the cannabis cultivar for you! One might wonder why we included “sour” in the name of this cross when there is no Sour Diesel or Sour Tsunami in its genetics, but take a good whiff
