Chemotype

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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Bubblegum XL

Bubblegum XL Is a fine example of the new school Amsterdam genetics. Though not as strong as some other varieties from Amsterdam, like our Amnesia Haze. Her genetics are more sativa dominant, though the effect is a nicely balanced mix of stoned and high. Bubblegum XL is a great all round smoke and a great plant for all types of grower. This plant can easily yield 500 grams per square meter when grown indoors, not the largest yield but the quality makes it worth it. Outdoors, it all depends on the climate; dense hybride cannabis strains like this can grow in most countries in the right season. However extra attention must be paid to avoid problems with mould and rot in wetter climates. She will not grow too tall and doesn’t even stretch up too much like some Dutch strains do – staying small and manageable. Bubble Gum XL has a sweeter aroma than many other amsterdam strains, with a sweet earthy flavour. Flowering takes around 8 to 9 weeks, producing dense, resin covered buds. Strain Type: Feminized THC: 19% CBD: Low Yield Indoor: 450 - 500 gr/m2 Yield Outdoor: 400 - 450 gr/plant Height Indoor: 80 - 140 cm Height Outdoor: 160 - 200 cm Flowering time: 8 - 9 weeks Harvest Month: October
