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 Sugar Candy
A while ago, the guys from the Delicious Seeds kitchen set ourselves the challenge of trying to create a perfect strain, an indica/sativa hybrid with strong indica characteristics and a touch of sativa that would find pride of place in our catalogue. We started searching for the best specimens from our entire genetic bank and, after extensive testing, discovered that by crossing two of our super champion strains we'd create exactly what we were looking for; neither indica nor sativa but a combination of the best characteristics of each. We ended up by choosing only the 2 best specimens of each of Sugar Black Rose (12 Cups) and Caramelo (7 Cups) from among a thousand tested, which we then crossed together to achieve a plant that we believe best represents the philosophy of Delicious Seeds. This plant redefines the meaning of "bouquet". Its taste and aroma are son complex that, at times, you only have to be in the same room to feel high, and then relaxed. The plant itself is of medium height, neither indica nor sativa, with a thick central stem that supports an incredible production of lateral and secondary branches that produce large tight buds with yields of more than 600g/m2 and r
