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 Diamond
Black Diamond: Generous Harvests AwaitIn need of a powerful and reliable feminized strain? Look no further than Black Diamond. This marvellous hybrid marries Blackberry and Diamond OG, resulting in a 90% indica and 10% sativa with a respectable potency of 23%. Growers will love these tall, productive plants, while tokers are sure to appreciate flavoursome sessions filled with sweet aromas of delicious grapes.
Growing Black Diamond: Prepare Your Stash JarsThis cannabis strain will be the jewel of any grow thanks to its beautiful frame and generous yields. Plants produced by Black Diamond grow tall and proud, so this variety is a good choice for those who don’t have any issues with space. Once you pop these seeds into the soil, they will develop vigorously and peak at 150 cm indoors and 180 cm outside. Specimens reared in indoor setups need approximately 8–9 weeks of flowering to be ready for the shears, while outdoor-grown plants are ready to harvest at the end of September. In both environments, Black Diamond impresses with its yields, offering up to 500 g/m² indoors and up to 300 g/plant under the sun.
