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 Chronic Haze
CHRONIC HAZE The genetic mixture originally used to create the parents of our Chronic Haze is very broad and involves common forebears given that Chronic is a cross between Northern Light, Skunk and AK 47, which are themselves indica/ sativa hybrids from Afghan, Colombian, Mexican and Thai genetics; all of which opens up several possibilities when it comes to crossing these two famous strains. After some initial selection and crossing, we chose a fruity specimen with incense notes, giving a new twist to both flavours, which produced higher yields in a shorter flowering period than Haze. Growth is very vigorous, especially during the pre-flowering stage, so the utmost care must be taken to control the height the plants reach before flowering as they may grow too high. Sex: Feminised
