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 Widow
Chronic Widow is an indica dominant hybrid with high levels of THC （23%） and CBD, which give a powerful energetic effect. The strain has a spicy creamy taste. This is a unique cross between the famous White Widow and Chronic Weed, which appeared in the Netherlands.
The plant quickly produces a large crop after 65 days of flowering. It reaches a high growth and has strong branches. Chronic Widow is better suited for experienced gardeners, however, with adequate growing conditions and the necessary care, it will forgive small mistakes. The strain is best grown indoors or in a greenhouse using the SCROG method. The average yield will be 700 g / m2.
The effect is instantaneous. You will feel relaxed and energized at the same time. This strain is well suited for rest, sleep disorders or stress. The aroma is pleasant earthy, and the taste is similar to a spicy creamy. This variety is also well suited to those who produce cannabis oils. Genetics: Chronic Weed x White Widow
