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 Swamp Thing
People who need relaxation and mood-stabilization can make great use of Swamp Thing. Chronic fatigue, pain, depression, stress, and PTSD can all be treated by a lazy afternoon hanging out in the swamp. If you’re ready, Swamp Thing can drag you down with him into relaxation and creative energy, allowing you to de-stress, finish your art, and accentuate that dip in your couch that’s shaped like you. Just be prepared for a massive wave of snacking afterwards. Depending on whether you want to lose or gain weight, plan your calorie counts accordingly. Just make sure you have something on hand so you’re not going crazy. The goal is to smash your brain, not your lamp. The pungent aroma may not be for everyone, but the slight numbness and intense creative calm has become pretty popular. The strain isn’t local, bred in Afghanistan and South Africa, and growers report that it’s a pretty low-yield plant. So Swamp Thing isn’t the most market-plentiful strain out there. But if you can get your hands on the spicy earth euphoria of this pint-sized superhero, you certainly won’t regret it. Unless you hate snacks
