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 Matanuska
Introduction: Matanuska Feminized is a well balanced hybrid that originates from The Great Alaskan Northland. Unbelievably dense buds that have a rock hard characteristic, snow capped in fruity, chocolate, earthy pine frosty resin terps. Flowering time will take 60-70 days and with high THC and CBD levels, makes this lady one for professional smokers only. Genetics: By backcrossing the best phenotypes we could find, the result is a very stable and uniform version of this famous Alaskan hybrid. Her terpene profile is very loud with an excessive amount of trichomes. We recommend this one to hash makers as she is such a generous plant in terms of high grade sugar leaf. Strain Characteristics: She will grow one main fat cenral cola with short side branches, Similar to a cactus with short side arms, Matanuska Feminized will grow an enormous main bud that become extremely compact with buds that are some of the hardest buds around. A low maintenance strain that when grown closely together can yield 450 - 500 g/m², well suited for beginner growers looking for the ideal blend of indica and sativa genetics. Thanks to her Alaskan roots, she can take the cold weather with ease, without concern
