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.

Height: 190 - 265 cm An 85% Sativa, John Weed is a cannabis strain that every cerebral high lover has been expecting! In accordance with its rich appearance, it demonstrates a luxurious tropical scent with hints of peppermint, citrus and camomile. How was it created? First of all, our searching team came across a very special population of marijuana in Nepal, grown in the mountainous area （the Hilly region） by a local tribe that had been using this weed for their sacred rituals. The locals have a caste of people whose main duty is to look after the plantation where Herb of Wisdom grows. They claim that gods actually helped them to improve this weed significantly – who knows, breeding is half science, half magic indeed! Noticeably, its psychedelic impact was very impressive and unlike that of any other marijuana. We crossed that landrace variety with the best AK-47 XL batch grown by our team! That means John Weed descends from Nepalese, Thai, Colombian, Mexican and Afghani cannabis. Its flamboyant concentration of THC and terpenes （limonene, bisabolol, myrcene and euс
