Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type II
Balanced THC:CBD
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 Harlequake
Harlequake CBD strain is Indica dominant cross created by crossing Harlequin and Mendocino Purps. This a very well balanced CBD strain, phenotypes range from 1:1 ratio CBD/THC ratio’s is above 9% some pheno’s produce higher THC or higher CBD. Harlequake produces sweet, creamy and fruity aroma and taste is a mix of plum and cherry with hints of grape and coffee. We recommend topping to give greater yields, perfect for indoor or outdoor growing as this strain is very resilient to powdery mildrew. This is ideal for in easing symptoms such as rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, PSTD, epilepsy and neurolgical disorders. Genetics: 40% Sativa, 60% Indica
