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 30%Sativa 70%

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 Honey Runtz

Honey Runtz origin and genetics:Honey Runtz is the result of crossing two exceptional genetics: Honey Banana: renowned for its tropical fruity aroma, a vigorous and highly fragrant plant. Canal Street Runtz: a potent hybrid from the Runtz lineage, contributing terpene complexity and strong character. This combination creates a strain with a complex terpene profile, ideal for both growers and cannabis connoisseurs. The influence of these genetics guarantees an intense experience in both aroma and effect, making it a standout option in any grow collection. Honey Runtz cultivationHoney Runtz develops a ramified, dense and vigorous structure, responding excellently to pruning and techniques such as SOG and SCROG. Indoors, it completes flowering in 9–10 weeks, while outdoors it will be ready by mid to late October. Its growth is stable, with natural resistance to adverse conditions, making it suitable for both novice and experienced growers. It produces large, resinous and intensely aromatic flowers, with high yields both indoors and outdoors. It is also a great option for extractions due to its abundant trichomes and resin quality.
