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 Marrakesh
Marrakesh genetics: exotic and contemporary heritageMarrakesh is born from the cross between Moroccan Peaches and Canal St Runtz, two varieties that strike the perfect balance between tradition and innovation. Moroccan Peaches offers great stability, resistance and exceptional resin production.
Canal St Runtz is a modern variety, highly valued for its abundance of sweet terpenes and high THC levels. This genetics enhances the psychoactive effect while adding a refined twist to the flavour. The result is a powerful hybrid with a broad organoleptic range and a multifaceted effect, appealing to fans of both classic cannabis and contemporary trends.
Marrakesh cultivation: adaptability, resistance and high yields in extractionsMarrakesh develops a compact, ramified structure with a robust morphology that responds well to various cultivation techniques such as SCROG, SOG or apical pruning. Indoors, it completes flowering in 9–10 weeks, while outdoors it is ready by mid to late October.
Thanks to its resin-rich profile, it is an excellent option for producing quality concentrates. It delivers a very high extraction yield, close to 5%, making it a favourite among rosin and dry sift enthusi
