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 Freddy's Best
Freddy is a legendary cannabis breeder who for over 20 years has given the world strains such as Blueberry, Mazar, Passion #1, Orange Bud, Strawberry Cough and many others. After a lifetime devoted to cannabis, Freddy is retiring and as a tribute to his astonishing legacy his final strain is named in his honour ‘Freddy’s Best’. Freddy is a real connoisseur, he sets the highest standards for the high, appearance, taste and yield of his creations but in his final project he pushed these expectations to new levels of achievement. Delving into the 30 year old Dutch Passion genebank, Freddy created a 3-way cross between Chocolope, Dutch Haze and a special, unnamed Sativa. Freddy’s Best is a mostly Sativa variety that is easy to grow with a generous crop of large round buds which are dense and especially full of resin. Freddy’s connoisseur taste targets were met with a unique aroma and delicious flavours with hints of cocoa as well as earthy scents, with a sweet and spicy taste. Freddy's best has a fantastically intense, clear and long lasting high. This is a true connoisseurs delight that will also appeal to commercial growers due to the heavy yields. Freddy’s best can be grown indoors
