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 Mountain Thunder
Light Up Your Senses. Spark Up a Good Time. This one’s for the cannabis lover that enjoys sativas, but doesn’t like the racy effects. Mountain Thunder has been bred to have a significant amount of cannabigerol (CBG), which tends to ease out the more intense, anxious effects of high-THC sativa varieties. Combine this with a flavor reminiscent of a high alpine forest after a midday thunderstorm, this strain makes the perfect hiking companion for outdoor summer adventures, and works just as well getting creative with art projects at home on a rainy afternoon. Lineage: Mad Cow x Sour Bubble Appearance: Lighter colored lime green buds covered by mid-sized pale amber hairs. Typical Effects: Creative | Balanced | Functional Terpenes: Terpinolene | Limonene | Pinene | Eucalyptol Flavor: Sweet, menthol, & earthy flavors THC: 21%
CBG: 3–4%
