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 Star Pupil
Star Pupil is our most famous strain, and the plant that got us all started as world renowned breeders. A result of crossing genetics from seeds gifted by a friend, with supposed Thai/Afghan/Pakistan genetics （recently confirmed correct by genetic mapping）, this plant stood out superbly, even in veg. She turned out to be the exact plant we were hoping for, and was named Star Pupil. Little did we know, Star Pupil would stick with us forever. Notable mentions are High Times Flower of the Month in January 2017 and medical growers and dispensaries cultivating this strain to help people in need. She is a very unique purple strain, and even makes people who "dont like purple weed" often change their minds! As a plant, these are grown from Feminized seed. They are extremely consistent, stable and stress resistant plants, even as a Feminized variety. They like a little longer initial vegetative time from seed, and grow excellent and easy from clone. Best results when branches are spread out with stakes or netting. She is a unique plant and does better when watered less often. Flower time is 9 weeks indoors. Finishes by end of September outdoors. Stretch is medium, taller than a short indic
