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 Power XL
One of the star Sativa dominant strains in our catalogue created by crossing powerful African landraces, Green Power XL shows a faster growth when compared to other Sativa seeds and is quite resistant to plagues and mould. She’s easy to grow and gives an excellent yield indoors, standing out for her production of large thick buds simply packed with THC. When grown outdoors, she has a late flowering though then quickly ripens. Indoors, the flowering cycle starts a week after the photoperiod is reduced to 12 hours and she will be ready to harvest in eight weeks. Green Power XL has a hard-hitting psychoactive stimulating effect and stands out for her pungent scent once harvested and dried, as well as for the intensity, freshness and originality of her flavour, with hints of earth and licorice. Hybrid: Sativa dominant
Harvest: 50-60 days
Yield: 550/m2 indoor - 800 g outdoor
Effect: stimulating, cerebral
Flavour: sweet, earthy, licorice
THC: 22 %
