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 Green Ninja
Green Ninja is an ideal choice for those requiring stealth and discretion. Short and stocky, this plant will thrive in the smallest of grow spaces, producing thick, crystal coated buds along its sturdy branches. Further discretion is assured form the quick flowering period and minimal odour, making Green Ninja a must for the urban gardener. Once harvested, however, Green Ninjas taste and aroma is spellbinding; a heady mix of exotic fruits and mysterious spices. As with the finest indica strains, the high is heavy and contemplative and should be sampled by all true connoisseurs. With a high calyx to leaf ratio, trimming is quick and simple, which is handy as yields can be extremely large considering the short, bushy stature of the plant. If stealthiness is your thing, look no further than Green Ninja. GENETICS: Northern Lights x Afghani
