Chemotype genetics-true
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 Alien Dragon
This one is not only a looker, but a kicker as well. Very heady smoke will have you cleaning your whole house before you even know what hit you. Medium height, and dense flower yields along with strong lateral branching, make her very easy to grow. Great indoor and out, seems very resistant to molds from our testing here in Havelock and site B in Parry Sound. Effects: Heavy and hard-hitting but not couch-lock. Physically and mentally euphoric energizing. Special thanks to Full Throttle Farms for providing the Alien Zour Apple Mother, as without it this project would not have been possible. Flowering time: Indoor: 68-78 days Outdoor: Oct 1st - Oct 15th • Yield: Average • THC: 26-28% • CBD: 1% • Terpenes: Sour Apple, Fuel, with Peppermint and Earthy undertones Regular Seeds
