Chemotype genetics-true

THC

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 30%Sativa 70%

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 Amnesia Lemon Kush

The result of crossing a great Amnesia Lemon specimen with a Kush is this very hardy, fast-growing sativa. The plants are medium height but with long branches. Ideal for SCROG systems in which they tend to respond by branching out abundantly. Also good for growing outdoors as the flowering cycle is not too long. Gives off a strong citrussy aroma with slightly incense-like back notes. The effect is psychoactive and cerebral but this becomes more physical as time goes by. For most users, this would not be very appropriate for moments of deep relaxation, especially mental. Lineage: Amnesia Lemon x Kush Harvest Time (Indoors): between 65 and 70 days Yield: 500g/m2 indoor/ up to 900g/plant outside Taste: citrussy with incense-like back notes Effect: cerebral/ psychoactive THC: 20%
