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 30%Sativa 70%

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 Starduster

Strain Name Starduster (Sour Diesel x Ms.Universe #10) Breeder: Professor P/ Dynasty Genetics Height: 3-5’ indoors, 6-10’ outdoors 1-2x Stretch Weight (yield): heavy yields Flowering time in days: 60-70 days Sativa/Indica/Ruderalis/etc. ratio: 80%sativa/20%indica The Starduster is a special project that was initiated with the intention to regenerate the Sour Diesel’s vigor without losing quality. The dad of this strain is our highly coveted Ms.Universe #10 male, which increases trichome coverage on every strain he has come in contact with. The Sour Diesel clone is a pre99 cut that has been proven year in and year out, indoors and out, but needed to be brought back to seed in order to maintain the desirable quality and vigor. The Starduster exhibits 5 distinct phenotypes, all of which could be considered keepers from one grower to the next. Expect rapid growth and trichome production when bloom begins, with smells coming on strong at the mid/end of its flower cycle. Scents of fruit/fuel/haze will permeate the grow room as she ripens. Overall this is an easy to grow strain with huge potential in the yield department. The potency and medicinal effects are extremely desirable for patie
