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.

Flowering type

Autoflowering This is an autoflowering cultivar — a genuine ruderalis-derived genetic trait (it flowers by age, not light cycle). That’s a real, heritable distinction, unlike the indica/sativa label above.

About Auto Kush

An automatic version of the cannabis strain named after the Hindu Kush mountain range. Kush cannabis plants hail from the region bordering with Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Northern India. This Auto Kush can be grown in just about any environment thanks to its Ruderalis genes, which encourage flowering even at very high altitudes and under difficult environmental conditions. Auto Kush produces medium-sized plants, about 100 - 120 cm tall, with fairly long and sticky buds. A potent autoflowering strain with many side branches. It is slightly less compact than the original Kush. Buds become coated with abundant trichome formation when fully matured. You can actually see how good the end product is going to be before clipping. The taste is dank and hash-like with a subtle hint of Indian spice enhanced with a faint tinge of incense smell in the smoke. The smell is a pleasant musky haze-like smell. The effect is typically Kush-like with a very heavy body stone. We at Female Seeds say that it is more narcotic than its Lemon Kush ancestor
