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 Dark Chocolate
Dark Chocolate is cross of Black Domina X Chocolope which any chocolate strain lovers will love as it has the sweet fruity blend from the Black Domina and the great taste of Chocolope combined. This Indica dominate hybrid produces above average yields with beautiful buds covered in trichomes, which give a sweet aroma. This strain grows to a medium height, with a low leaf ratio which makes this plant easy to harvest. Dark Chocolate gives even better production when using the SROG method which will easily produce 600g + M2 (indoors). TIP: try to not to let the temperature not to drop too low as it will turn your plant darker than normal with excess fluctuation of temperature. Smoke is smooth, sweet, slightly earthy with notes of chocolate, ideal smoke day or night that is euphoric and relaxing.. Genetics: 35% Indica, 65% Indica
