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.

It’s a strong Indica-dominant hybrid with a well developed system that stimulates the development of large and heavy buds. GrowingSome phenotypes can show dark colors of leaves and buds at the end of flowering that to decorate any space. The organoleptic properties of the plant can definitely please you with its fruity notes. This strain is very unpretentious and easy to adapt to any type of training. It should be noted that during the flowering stage, its growth increases by about 30%.
Taste and EffectBlack AK genetic fem has a deep taste and aroma with hints of berries and grapes. The strong but pleasant effect starts with a sensation of brain stimulation, and changes into a long-lasting physical relaxation.
