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 70%Sativa 30%

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 TK43

Indica-dominant hybrid strain, TK43 was created by crossing White Fire #43 and Triangle Kush BX1 strains. For those seeking a powerful strain that will engulf you before knocking you to the ground, TK43 is the perfect choice. This bud has uplifting and calming effects in equal measure, so it can help you feel uplifted and sleepy at the same time. It slowly builds up its effects before suddenly taking hold and leaving you feeling completely euphoric and unconcerned with anything else. With a sleepy overtone, you’ll fall asleep before you know it, and you’ll be in a blissful slumber before you know it. There are a number of conditions that TK43 is particularly effective at treating, including chronic pain, muscle cramps, inflammation, arthritis, chronic stress, and insomnia. This is due to the high average THC levels of 26-30 percent in this strain. Slightly gassy exhalation, spicy and peppery earthy flavour. A spicy overtone adds to the heaviness of the aroma, which becomes more pronounced as the nugs are burned down to nothing. Tiny amber crystal trichomes coat the TK43 buds, which have rounded, fat, dusty green nugs covered in thin, dark amber hairs
