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 Plum
1st Place, 2003 Oregon Medical Cannabis Award Winner
Featured in Ed Rosenthal’s Marijuana growers Handbook
Sugar Plum is a cross between Berkeley Blues and a Hawaiian Haze Plum. The Haze Plum came from Dead Guy （my best friends’, sisters husband）. It is a deep tropical purple flavor with a very strong stone and a tall narrow silhouette that is almost spindly with long spiraling buds. Sugar Plum is a medium size bush with very deep green, large leaves. The flavor is complex the deep tropical flavor of the Haze Plum comes through first with the earthy Berkeley Blues bottom note clearly coming through the finish. Always throws several large, dense colas. Stores well and finishes fast. Strain Name: Sugar Plum
