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 Blue Sunset Sherbert
Blue Sunset Sherbert is a hybrid between Sunset Sherbet and Purple Punch, resulting in a mostly Indica plant easy to cultivate. This variety does not require special care and withstands well different stresses that can appear during marijuana cultivation. This plant offers a typically hybrid development, with many secondary branches easy to control. It develops strong branches that easily support the compact buds. It offers a yield of up to 700g per m2 indoors and even over 1000g per plant outdoors under optimal conditions. Blue Sunset Sherbert has a spectacular late flowering period, with extremely compact, sticky and colourful buds that deliver very high cannabinoid concentrations. It has a flowering period of just over 60 days indoors after the photoperiod change, while outdoors the harvest is ready in early October. Blue Sunset Sherbert, a THC level of 28%
Blue Sunset Sherbert makes you enjoy intense flavours rich in terpenes, with Limonene, Humulene, Terpinolene, and sweet lemon peel and red fruit aromas. It provides a THC level of 28%, with a potent effect that combines the pleasures of a good balanced hybrid, on the one hand a great body relaxation and on the other a euphori
