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.

Flowering type

Autoflowering This is an autoflowering cultivar — a genuine ruderalis-derived genetic trait (it flowers by age, not light cycle). That’s a real, heritable distinction, unlike the indica/sativa label above.

About Black Gold

A plant that focuses on oil production in abundance as its number one job! We took Maple leaf - a prestigious, pure Indica strain hailing from vintage Afghanica gene stock, known for its sweet, sticky, resinous qualities and crossed her with four other great resin producing strains. These four other constituents include Hindu Kush- another strain famous for its supreme hash capabilities. The end result is a plant that over-produces oil in copious amounts and is THE perfect girl for all the hash heads and dabbers! Her wide, dark green leaves drip with thick, sticky crystals and pests better beware as they usually end up stuck to her! Flavours burst with sugary orange-grapefruit tones, capped with a spicy-fuel twang and she stinks of super strong hashish during flowering. If you like to dab then this gooey monster is the one for you!!......YABBA DABBA DOO WE LOVE HASH GOO!
