Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type III
CBD-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 Extrem
Critical Extrem by Seeds66 is the improved version of the famous Critical + We crossed a super-productive Critical clone with a moisture resistant Critical + clone. The result has surprised and even surprised, because the productivity of Critical Extreme is fantastic. In a growth area and under optimal growth conditions, this variety will harvest about 700 grams per square meter. Outdoors, average yields are harvested between 900 and 1300 grams per plant. In any case, the harvest yields large amounts of huge buds that look like compact tennis balls that are covered by a dense layer of resin. Critical Extrem is an ideal choice for commercial breeders due to its high productivity. Critical Extrem is very easy to grow and suitable for beginners. It thrives well in outdoor and indoor growing and in any kind of harvesting system. It is a strong and slender plant that develops large leaves. The flowering time is quite fast and it can be harvested within 8 to 9 weeks (or end of September in the garden for the Northern Hemisphere). When cultivating the Critical Extrem in the garden, it thrives magnificently and even better in the greenhouse. Indoor it is a perfect choice for SOG cultivatio
