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 Colombian Red Lime
With Colombian Red Lime, HYP3RIDS introduces a remarkable South American cultivar that captures the spirit of classic Colombian Sativa genetics while adding a vibrant citrus-forward twist. Rooted in traditional Colombian landrace lines cultivated and refined across generations in the country’s tropical regions, this variety reflects the legacy of one of cannabis’ most respected genetic origins. Colombia remains celebrated worldwide for producing energetic, expressive Sativas with unmistakable character.
From early vegetative growth, Colombian Red Lime showcases its heritage through exceptional vigour and elegant structure. Plants develop strong lateral branching and the tall, graceful architecture typically associated with South American Sativas. Despite their energetic growth pattern, they remain manageable and respond exceptionally well to training methods such as LST and SCROG.
What truly sets this cultivar apart is its striking terpene expression. Bright lime and sharp citrus notes lead the profile, layered with hints of red berries, tropical fruit, and a delicate spicy-woody undertone. The result is an aroma that feels fresh, exotic, and unmistakably vibrant, delivering an aut
