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 Mr. Big Candy
Mr Big Candy is a cross between Mendocino Purple Kush and Big Bud, creating a hybrid that develops a clear pyramidal structure with a prominent main cola surrounded by many secondary branches. Mr Big Candy, hard and resinous buds with purple and amber tones
When mature, the branches are transformed into thick, voluminous flower colas acquiring green, purple and amber tones sprinkled with shiny resin crystals; the reason why Mr Hide Seeds named this hybrid "Big Candy". This variety has a high resin production making it ideal for Rosin or BHO extractions, offering and abundant return of high quality aromatic resin reminiscent of honey. Its flowering lasts for about 55-60 days with a yield up to 500g per m2 in an indoor grow tent and up to 650g per plant in outdoor cultivation. It is ready for harvest at the beginning of October. Mr Big Candy, sweet and fruity candy aroma
Mr Big Candy has a very sweet aroma with fruity candy nuances, flavours that are enhanced when consumed in a cannabis vaporiser. Its effect is ideal for therapeutic cannabis use, as it combines a pleasant euphoria and joyous feeling with a powerful and pleasant relaxation, promoting an intense instrospective and crea
