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 Tide
Blue Tide is a perfectly balanced hybrid that wins you over with its sweet, enveloping aroma, pairing a clearly defined fruity character with an earthy base that adds depth. It's a strain designed for those who want a complete experience—candy-like, aromatic, and full of personality.
The aroma of Blue Tide stands out immediately with notes of ripe blueberry—juicy and fresh—mixed with a soft, creamy caramel touch. Toward the end, an earthy undertone comes through to round everything out, adding a classic nuance that balances the sweetness so it never feels cloying. On the palate, it stays on that fruit-and-candy line, with a warmer, earthy finish that lingers pleasantly.
With its balance, its irresistible flavor, and such a distinctive aromatic identity, Blue Tide is a favorite for those who enjoy sweet, fruity strains that feel well-rounded and complete. STRAIN PROFILE
