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.

About Black Maple
Black Maple might not be as popular as the Sherbet line she stems from, but don't let that fool you.

Keep reading to learn more about Black Maple, a cannabis strain bred by a very respected Colorado-based breeder. History of the Black Maple Cannabis Strain Black Maple is a hybrid cannabis strain created by Bloom Seed Co. in Colorado—a cannabis genetics company founded by grower/breeder Harry Palms, who also founded Oni Seeds and created many of the bank's prime cannabis cuts. During his time at Oni Seed Co., Harry Palms created Tropicanna Cookies, arguably his most famous creation, along with Papaya, which birthed a whole line of very popular hybrids. After his time at Oni SeedCo, Harry Palms left to found Bloom Seed Co., where he continues to produce an ever-growing list of strains, which are particularly well-suited to extractions thanks to their excellent resin production. Besides Black Maple, some other popular strains from Bloom Seed Co. include: • Funk MTN • Dulce de Papaya • Sour Biscotti
