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 Barbarella
Cannabis Barbarella: Barbara Bud X René
This hybrid brings together two spectacular strains, on one hand we have Barbara Bud, a productive and fruity plant with an intense and very special terpene profile, and on the other we have the René cannabis variety, a highly resinous Indica, combined to produce a variety that will captivate cultivators with its many qualities. Barbarella is a well-balanced Indica/Sativa hybrid offering plenty of vegetative vigour during the growth period, as well as a rather fast flowering phase, meaning it's possible to harvest it after 8 weeks of 12/12 photoperiod of flowering. The leaves take on a lush, intense green colour with orange tones during the last weeks before harvest. Production is centred on on the main cola, offering a very abundant yield of compact, golf ball shaped flower heads. Barbarella from House of Great Gardener: Sensational new flavours
The union of these two heavyweights has given birth to new flavours, and when smoking or vaping Barbarella, we can enjoy sensationally fruity flavours that remind us of strawberry ice cream. The contribution of René's genetics in this crossing means we can enjoy a more intense, heavier effect. Barbar
