Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the lab-verifiable 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). Cannabinoid type is set largely by a single gene (the THC:CBD ratio); about 96% of commercial flower is Type I, THC-dominant. Terpene profiles are sourced from Certificates of Analysis (COA) and roll out as Areto’s lab-verified 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 Afghanistan Lights
Afghanistan Lights is a cross between a potent Afghani Indica landrace and Northern Lights, the famous compact medical-quality cannabis known all over the world. The result is a sturdy, resinous and productive strain that Divine Seeds proudly call their favorite Indica. Afghanistan Lights has been appreciated both as medical and recreational cannabis as well as perfect material to make hasheesh from. It can be considered a classic Indica. This strain is advised to beginners on condition that they can handle a photoperiodic plant. Universal, it can be grown both in and out of doors, in soil or hydroponic/aeroponic setups, in green houses and even balconies. To prevent Afghanistan Lights cannabis from growing too tall, either use training techniques like LST, ScroG, SoG, topping or FIM, or else switch it to flowering right after it grows half admittable height. Afghanistan Lights is resistant to higher temperatures and molds. Its massive colas need proper air circulation （indoors）, otherwise there’s a risk of cola rotting. Also further into blooming Afghanistan Lights cannabis may need to be tied up to supports. Ready for outdoor harvesting by mid October. Afghanistan Lights is known
