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 White Kush

While the exact lineage of this marvelous strain is somewhat tainted, we do know that the legendary White Widow played a role in White Kush coming about. The type of Kush that White Widow was bred with is unknown, but it is rumored to be either Bubba Kush or the famous OG Kush. While maturing, White Kush gives off a pungently sweet, somewhat skunky aroma very similar to that of West Coast Diesel. Towards the final 2 weeks of maturity, the buds become overly frosted, to the point where there is no doubt why this strain is called WHITE Kush. While this strain is nearly pure Indica, patients who embark upon the journey towards White Kush will find awesomely sufficient pain relieving qualities, as well as relief from such ailments as insomnia, depression, anxiety, eating disorders and even cancer patients. Enjoy this potent strain mostly at night but it is suitable for daytime ailments as well. Flowering Time: 9 - 10 weeks Yield: Moderate THC Content: 15% Medical Uses: Chronic pain relief, eating disorders, depression, anxiety, insomnia, nausea
