Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the 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). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s 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 ASH
This was to be a limited edition seed but due to popular demand from all levels and styles of growers this hybrid is finding a regular place in the MNS Hall of fame. The Afghan Skunk combination is full of fruity undertones and berry flavors combined to the Afghan Haze male which gives it a pungent and recognizable smell and taste. It rewards all of those who grow it usually superseding expectations. This seed is suitable for all styles and levels of growers and a marvel for most medically motivated growers. Does equally well on organics or hydro or coco or what ever medium used for cultivation, and the same clone grown in different mediums is only really recognized by its flavor and scent as the yields can fluctuate. Expect the plant to be finished flowering between 9-11 weeks, but there are a few possible at 8 weeks, it all lies with the selection and competence of growing. Yields will range from 450 -600 grams a square meter for indoor growers and very heavy for outdoor and greenhouse cultivations. With the 25% mix of Haze it is better suited to cooler areas than most Afghan hybrids and resists mould better in places of early rains. An excellent remake of old school lines origin
