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 GMO Zkittlez
GMO Zkittlez is a cross between GMO Cookies (Chem D x Girl Scout Cookies) and a hybrid between Zkittlez (Grape Ape x Grapefruit) and OG Kush (Chemdawg x (Lemon Thai x Hindu Kush, Pakistan)). The result is a superior plant, a perfect combination of the best made in US varieties. It is an Indica dominant hybrid, featuring 75% of plants growing tall and vigorous with a significant stretch during the flowering period, with a great calyx-to-leaf ratio. The remaining 25% of individuals develop more compact and shrubby, with more secundary ramification and a bit later yielding yet still abundant. Both phenotypes are suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation, adapting well to SCROG, Supercropping and Lollypoping. In indoor cultivation, it does not require too much vegetative growth period, being enough about 3-4 weeks. GMO Zkittlez, super resinous and aromatic flowers
Both phenotypes have very similar productivity, with a yield of about 500g per m2 in an indoor grow tent and over 600g per plant outdoors. It produces dense, conical and heavy flowers laden with aromatic and shiny resin trichomes. They can display purple and reddish tones when the temperature drops below 18ºC in the final m
