CBD-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 Australian Haze

Pedigree Australian Haze is a meticulously bred cannabis cultivar that represents the fourth generation in a lineage derived from two legendary Haze cultivars: Nevil's Haze and Original Haze. Nevil's Haze, celebrated for its intense cerebral effects and rich, spicy aroma, was itself a pioneering hybrid created by the legendary Australian, Nevil Schoenmakers, that set benchmarks for sativa-dominant genetics in the early 90's. Original Haze, a cornerstone of classic cannabis breeding, brought its signature uplifting energy and metallic meaty incense-like flavors. The F4 generation of Australian Haze reflects the culmination of selective breeding aimed at stabilizing these sought-after traits, selecting away from high terpinolene varieties. With its vibrant sativa structure, complex terpene profile, and enhanced potency, Australian Haze F4 pays homage to its ancestors while delivering a refined and consistent experience for growers and enthusiasts alike. Onset Australian Haze has a swift onset, with effects becoming noticeable within 5-10 minutes after inhalation. When ingested, expect a slower onset, taking about 45-60 minutes to feel the full effects. Duration The effects of Austral
