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.

Sore, tight, stressed, can't sleep, overwhelmed by life? Time for a Meltdown! This plant will melt away your aches and pains and wind down the madness and chaos in your overstressed mind.

A quick finish, rock solid nuggets of buttery sweet fruity goodness, and yields that will keep you in the green. She has a smooth, lightly narcotic effect that builds with increased consumption. The Z7 used for this pollination has tested as high as 15% CBD with THC levels up to 10%. She stretches like a sativa, but finishes quickly in just over 7 weeks. With incredible trichome production, berry terpene profile, and medically relevant CBD levels the Z7 is a patient favorite in Colorado. Cannabinoid Content:
THC: 10-16%
CBD: 4-15% Note: Cannabinoid content varies and can change significantly based on plant health, grow techniques, nutrients, flowering time, etc. Our testing is based on organic soil grown samples where the
