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 Cali Couture
Tips from the grower: Plants grow fairly aggressively and get quite large and frosty. This is a fantastic choice for outdoor gardens as both of the parents are formidable outdoor cultivars. Notes: This cultivar was developed in order to add some “funky” terps to our most impressive outdoor strain, Snow-G. The mix was perfect, we then hunted a winner in an outdoor garden and created the S1 seeds by selfing the winning phenotype #H5. Lineage: Smell of Success x Snow-G
Type: Indica/Sativa mixed ratio
Filial Generation: S1
PVI （Phenotypic Variation Index）: Low to below average
Indoor Flower Time: 60-66 days
Outdoor Harvest Date: Late Sept to early Oct
Trellising Requirements: average
Height/Stretch: Average – above average
Yield （per sf）: Above average
Nose: SUPER gassy, ripe melons and berries, skunky, diesel
Effects: Very potent and mind altering. Super long lasting
