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 100%

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 Y2K

This 100% Indica has the vigor of a hybrid with the stability of a pure indica. This is one of the shorter plants in your garden and one of the potent ones. When growing outdoors make sure that the plant isn’t in a depression as the density of this plant coupled with its short nature dictates that the bud dry out after rains. So lots of wind or shake the girls lightly after rains. A taste treat with a Flowering time of 6 to 8 weeks with an indoor yield ( 2 gallon pot ) of 2.5 to 3.5 ounces. Flowering Time: 7 weeks Yield: medium - large
