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 Animal Tsunami
Animal Tsunami is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (70% indica/30% sativa) born from the union of Animal Cookies and Caramel Tsunami. This delectable bud boasts a creamy, sugary caramel flavor accented by hints of woody pine. Its aroma mirrors the taste, featuring nutty cookie notes enriched by earthy, spicy herbs. The high hits quickly, providing a calming euphoria that lifts your mood while easing racing thoughts and negativity. A soothing body high follows, leaving you pleasantly couch-locked and relaxed. With a potent THC level averaging 30-32%, Animal Tsunami is ideal for treating chronic pain, headaches, stress, cramps, depression, and nausea. The buds are dense and oversized, showcasing minty green spade-shaped nugs with deep purple undertones, thin orange hairs, and a fine layer of purple-tinted white trichomes.
