Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type II
Balanced THC:CBD
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 BCN Diesel CBD
We have been working on our new variety BCN DIESEL, which comes from the family known the world over as NEW YORK DIESEL, crossed with a variety with high CBD levels. The result is out BCN Diesel CBD genetics, with a CBD/THC ratio of 1:2. It’s a plant that reaches a considerable size in a short time, because of its hybrid strength. You should remember that the plant will grow quite a few centimetres more once flowering begins. It has good resistance to pests and is easy to grow. Its lemon-green leaves may suggest all might not be well, but it’s fine — that’s just its colour. Its buds tend to form a round, shape without tips and with a compact, strong structure. Its genetics mean that it produces a large amount of resin. Highly flavourful, with the characteristic citrus notes of the original Diesel a and relaxing, long-lasting effect. Recommended for pain relief. CBD: 7%
THC: 13%
Ratio CBD/THC: 1:2 Flowering cycle: 55 days
Production: 500 gr/m2 Harvest: end September
Medium height: 200 cm
Production: 800 gr/plant
