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 White Lemon
The White Lemon is a very balanced cross, expressing the best qualities of both parents. The El Niño lineage is very clear in the leaf shape and the size and density of the buds. The Super Lemon Haze heritage is all in the branching, smell, taste, and in the shape of the calyx. The White Lemon grows medium-short internodes, but keeps growing quite a bit after switching to 12/12 for flowering. The branches grow very strong and can support large colas. Medium nutrients levels will do great with this strain, which performs outstandingly in all mediums, indoors or outdoors. Cuttings from mother plants root very fast and easily, making this a great strain for propagation once the mothers are selected from seeds. The buds are long, dense, with large calyx and long hairs. Already after 4-5 weeks of flowering the smell gets citrus-like, and skunky. It is not as hazy as the Super Lemon Haze, but it is extremely lemony. The effect onset is a bit of a creeper, taking time to peak and then staying up there for a long while. It is a complex, well balanced high and stoned feeling. Genetics: 50% indica - 50% sativa
