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 Apple Lobster
Information on Apple Lobster Apple Lobster is a feminized photoperiod variety developed by Cipher Genetics in collaboration with Maine Trees. Launched in 2024, it follows the success of its mother line at the East Coast Zalympix 2023, where Blue Lobster won three awards, including Best Terpenes. This debut is certainly one to watch. Genetics: the meeting of sweetness and terpene potency Apple Lobster is the result of crossing Sour Gumball—a balanced hybrid of Bubblegum and Fireball—with Blue Lobster, Maine Trees’ own selection of Compound Genetics’ celebrated cross between Apples and Bananas and Eye Candy, also known as Facade. The result is an indica-dominant hybrid that inherits the best qualities of both lines: the fruity, gassy expression of Blue Lobster and the sweet, resinous base of Sour Gumball. Some phenotypes may also develop a distinctive paint or marker-like terpene profile that sets them apart within the line. Cultivation: fast, adaptable and rich in resin When grown indoors, Apple Lobster completes its flowering period in just 54 to 56 days, making it an attractive option for growers looking for fast cycles without compromising quality. It produces dense flowers with
