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 Critical Early Version
Fast flowering feminized light dependent version, an easy to grow Indica dominant strain that produces high quality large yields. A compact plant of short intermodal gaps and heavy branches full of buds. Her discreet height makes her suitable for indoor growing, where she produces yields of over 500 gr/m2, but she has excellent results in warm climates and also in northern latitudes, thanks to her short flowering period. She stands out for her fast flowering cycle and buds fully coated with resin. Critical Early Version has an intense smell with a unique sweet aroma and a fruity flavour full of rich notes. She has a powerful well-balanced effect, both relaxing and cerebral, an ideal choice to relieve stress and insomnia. Genetic origin: AFGHANI X SKUNK #1 X SECRET HYBRID
