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 Tuna Kush
Tuna Kush strain is an Indica-dominant hybrid believed to be a much more potent variant of Hindu Kush. This cannabis strain is not for the weak-hearted since it will send users with such an extreme sedative high that a mild cognitive stimulation would be accompanied. Its resin development is out of this world, and it also has a THC content of over 20% and is probably one of the best strains for extracting oil and resin products. Tuna Kush strain has one of the nastiest odors in the marijuana world, but if you can get past the fishy, algae-like odor, you’ll be blessed with one of the wealthiest Indica high.
