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 Lemon Citron
Lemon Citron by Humboldt Seeds is a variety expressly created for lovers of lemon-flavored genetics with a powerful relaxing and strong psychedelic effect. It is a cross between Lemon Tree and a very citric Geist Og phenotype. Lemon Citron growth
Lemon Citron vegetative growth is fast, with a vigorous development producing a plant with a robust structure and solid branches ideal for growing large plants outdoors or SCROG cultivation indoors. Its long and thin leaves have a clear Sativa tendency allowing the light to penetrate well favouring a compact development and producing long colas of buds during flowering. This structure requires a staking or meshing, both indoors and outdoors in order to support the bud weight and avoid branches breaking, even if very strong, on rainy and windy days as the plants can reach 4m. Lemon Citron flowering
During the flowering period it should be taken into account that it quickly doubles in size after the photoperiod change. This should be controlled by pruning or bending stems using a support mesh. The harvest is ready in about 9 weeks indoors with a yield of up to 450-600g per m2. Outdoors plants can grow up to 4m providing a high yield of even
