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 Whitaker Blues

Short in stature, but high in potency Whitaker Blues from DJ Short is a hybrid of the highest order. Whitaker Blues takes around 55-62 days (8 weeks) to reach its optimum flowering potential. From its intense aroma to its sedative-style high the strain ticks all the right boxes for both smokers and growers alike. Very much a classic in the making (well quite literally in fact), Whitaker Blues is a hybrid with heritage. Developed by DJ Shorts son, the strain sees the merger of West Coast classic 'Quimby' (an Indica through and through) with DJ's personal selection Blueberry, thus giving birth to Whitaker Blues. Almost entirely Indica in nature, the strain sits at an 80% (Indica) to 20% (Sativa) scale - unbalanced to say the least, but hey who's complaining? Undoubtedly lovers of Indica will instantly swoon all over Whitaker Blue, it's pungent aroma coupled with its sweet velvety grape and slightly vanilla flavor will be more than enough to tickle the taste-buds. Speaking of buds, Whitaker Blue's are loaded with resin all thanks to its accommodating stature - perfect for growing indoors. Both seasoned and novice growers will have no problem with this easy-to-grow, vigorous and satisf
