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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Skunk

Skunk is a classic cannabis strain beloved for being easy to grow, potent, and very aromatic. White Skunk stays true to everything Skunk strains are known for while bringing some fruity aromas and flavors to the mix. Keep reading to learn all there is to know about White Skunk, including its origins, genetics, growth traits, and more. History of the White Skunk Cannabis Strain White Skunk is an indica-dominant hybrid created by Sensi Seeds. Founded in 1985 by Ben Dronkers (who also founded Amsterdam's Hash Marihuana & Hemp Museum), Sensi Seeds is currently the world's largest producer of cannabis seeds, carrying over 500 strains. Dronkers opened the first brick-and-mortar Sensi Seeds shop in 1986, selling seeds, grow equipment, and books about cannabis cultivation and culture. Although cannabis coffeeshops already existed in Amsterdam and other Dutch cities since the 1970s, the Dutch weren't particularly fond of cannabis—dry flower, that is. Instead, they preferred to smoke imported hash. However, by growing his own cannabis in greenhouses, Dronkers helped to slowly introduce weed-loving Hollanders to cannabis in its most natural form. Moreover, Dronkers helped to preserve cannabis
