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 Moby Big
Moby Big is also one of the strongest. It is the result of crossing the best sativa and the best indica and psychoactive strain with up to 21% THC and a higher than average THCV content. THCV is present in equatorial sativas in response to the sun's ultraviolet rays. It strengthens the effects of the THC.The low CBD concentration helps to make the effect psycho-actively intense and long-lasting. It produces great hunger and thirst and has been used successfully by those treating the secondary effects of chemotherapy and anorexia. There are two principal phenotypes for this hybrid; around 65% are likely to be dominant sativas with the remaining 35% being smaller and faster plants.The sativa phenotype has a woody, pine-like aroma with the indica phenotype being noticeably sweeter.This strain needs a lot of light to grow to its full potential. It also prefers a pH not exceeding 6.5.Outdoors this strain can grow to produce large yields when grown under optimum conditions. It also has a good mould resistance inherited from its sativa genetics. Genetics: Haze X White Widow
