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 Hawaiian Afghan
Two of the best-selling Dutch and UK genetics have been used to create this exotic hybrid: Cheese, a unique Skunk x Kush female phenotype that appeared in the UK in 1988-89 and Lavender, that was created by Soma in Holland and which was brought as a clone to Barcelona by his son-in-law in 2005 when he opened a growshop called Soma Zone. A good friend of ours, he was generous enough to give us one of his spectacular Lavender clones from Barcelona. The resulting cross produces explosive yields of enormous buds with large lateral shoots full of thousands of trichomes that emanate an incredible sweet, cheesy odour. Its yeasty/cheesy taste with hints of liquorice and caramel will amaze you. While the initial effect is euphoric, after a few minutes it will become very, very relaxing and very, very pleasant, making this strain highly recommended for daily therapeutic use.
