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 Mentha de Croco Fern BX1 F2
Mentha de Croco Fern Bx1 F2 by TerpyZ Mutant Genetics is an exceptional cannabis genetic in which the unusual Fern-Type morphology was the primary focus of selection. The line was specifically developed to stabilize its characteristic fern-like leaf structure while refining the aroma profile toward lemon, Chem and menthol. The lineage is stated as Mentha de Croco Fern F1 × Mentha de Croco Fern F2. Its genetic foundations include Mentholskunk V2 “Fern-Type” by Cannabis Research Company and Croco, a polyphyllous hybrid mutant by TerpyZ Mutant Genetics. Approximately 80% of the plants are expected to display the typical Fern expression, while so-called Raptor phenotypes may occur in smaller numbers. The unusual leaf structure is particularly striking, with fine leaf forms that can appear almost snowflake-like or distinctly fern-shaped. The plants grow compact and vigorously, developing dense flowers with a comparatively low leaf-to-flower ratio and abundant trichome production. The aroma profile is equally exceptional. An intense combination of lemon, Chem and menthol takes center stage. Fresh lemon peel and sweet Meyer lemon notes meet cool mint, chemical nuances and a slightly gassy
