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

Sativa 100%

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 Early Maroc

Genetics Early Maroc strain comes from a very early seed of a pure variety (Landrace) from Morocco. Since this is a difficult variety to keep indoors during the vegetative phase, crossing to feminize it was long and hard work. Culture Ideal for outdoor and Guerilla grows. Not recommended for interior. Suitable for dry hashish extraction. It's best attribute, no doubt, is its precociousness. Early Maroc is harvested in mid-August in temperate climates. To harvest in August, we recommend germinating in late March or early April, after the snow. Photos and users comments of this variety of early flowering marijuana can be seen on our blog demonstrating this striking peculiarity. Early Maroc produces robust, compact and easy to grow plants. Upper-middle reaches a height of (125-175 cm) which gives good yields even with minimal care or planted in arid lands. Its precocity and low demand for nutrients and water, make it ideal for guerrilla growing. For crops in pots, a container of about 50 60 liters will be enough to fully developully. Its lighting, nutrient and weather needs in general, make Early Maroc inadvisable for indoor cultivation, because it is difficult to handle. TASTE AND EF
