Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the 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). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s 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 MAC #4
MAC #4 feminized seeds deliver a high-potency photoperiod hybrid with THC levels consistently testing between 27% and 30%, placing this strain firmly in the upper tier of contemporary cultivars. Dense, resin-coated buds with a striking pale green and amber trichome structure make it as visually distinctive as it is chemically potent. Built for growers who want reliable feminized genetics without sacrificing complexity in the final product. Genetics & Lineage
MAC #4 is a phenotype selection from the MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) lineage, which traces back to a cross of Alien Cookies F2 with a Columbian and Starfighter hybrid. MAC was originally bred by Capulator, and MAC #4 represents one of the most stable and resin-forward phenotypic expressions of that line. The genetic ratio sits at roughly 50% indica and 50% sativa, inheriting the cerebral clarity of its sativa side and the dense bud structure and heavy trichome production typical of its indica heritage. Feminized production ensures that nearly all plants under standard photoperiod conditions will flower as females. Aroma, Flavour & Effects
The terpene profile is dominated by caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene, which together p
