Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type III
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, 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 Black Beauty
We needed a pairing to bring some vigor to Purple Bliss as she was traditionally a slow grower. A beautiful Gruntz（Gushers x Runtz） was found by a close friend while hunting the seeds from Nasha Genetics. This was a shock to them as it was thought to be a feminized line. This male however was something special. Black Beauty is vigorous to say the least. Rock hard huge nugs by finish, she will need support as she gets heavy. Easily controllable and trained due to her strong lateral branching and vigorous, stacked apex growth. Perfect for LST and SCROG. Dark purple is her most common color, but cold temps make her colors more vibrant and rich, almost black. She smells however of pepper, ammonia and fuel with hints of earth, cedar and citrus, very complex Flowering time: Indoor: 63-70 days Outdoor: Oct 1st - Oct 10th • Yield: Average • THC: 23-27% • CBD: 1% • Terpenes: Pepper, ammonia, fuel with cedar/citrus like undertones
