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 UK Cheese
The spunkiest skunk, the original cheese comes from a selection of skunk #1, never again has the genotype been found again. It was discovered by a collective in the UK more than 20 years ago and was given the name Exodus Cheese. At Shaman Genetics we are lucky enough to have been able to maintain this clone for the last 10 years, and after many attempts with STS we have managed to get fertile pollen from the cutting of exodus cheese. And alter another long selection process of skunk #1 we selected the female that most resembled the original exodus cheese, with we reverted with the sts process and we used this pollen to pollinate the clone of the original Exodus Cheese, this way we get not identical seeds but in our opinion the closest you can get to growing from the original clone of Exodus Cheese. Our UK Cheese grows with a short intermodal distance and a thick trunk. Producing large compact flowers that are very sticky, with a medium production, with its Digest virtue being its incredible old school flavor that will fly you to the past. THC: 12 - 16%
Phenotype: 35% Indica / 65% Sativa
Indoor production: 350 - 500gr/m2
Outdoor production: 300 - 450g
Smell: Skunk with a touch of pa
