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 Mars Mellow
Mars Mellow is a hybrid born by crossing Wedding Cake and Tropicana Cookies. The buds smell like cookies, but with a fruity touch and a pleasant citrus aftertaste, it is a very well balanced palette for the real connoisseur. Growing the plant will show that the buds develop very compact with big swollen calixes and sometimes they will get some purple color when grown at low temperatures. The effect is very strong, it will seduce and mesmerise you with happy waves, but can be trippy if you get too much. For this reason it is very much enjoyable to use it at home in a relaxed situation.
