Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the 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). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s 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 D.O.G.
Premiering the latest from Humboldt Seed Organization showcases this exquisite new creation selected by breeder Biovortex. This F1 selection was the combination of three classic Northern California genetics. HSO’s Blackberry Kush crossed with the Emerald Headband gave birth to the Black D.O.G. Fast vegetative growth and strong root systems allow for the Black D.O.G. to move into the flowering period quite rapidly. Large broad fan leaves have good spacing allowing for even development. Black D.O.G. can be expected to stretch 30% into the flowering cycle. Flowering periods start rather quickly as the Black D.O.G. finishes indoors in just a 48-55 day cycle. Large crowning bud sites appear around the fifth week as high oil and resin counts are backed by powerful grape, berry and gassy tones. Outdoors, Black D.O.G. can be expected to be harvested in the end of September to the first week of October, reaching heights of 3 + meters. Effects are quite cerebral and have been known for having a couch locking finish. Great for pain relief, migraines and appetite stimulation, this new release now in feminized form is one not missed from the one and only Humboldt Seed Organization
