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 30%Sativa 70%

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 Nefertiti

We have recently introduced this variety, winner of the 1º Hydro award in the Spannabis 2007, with the name of Black Hemp. This strain comes from Black Widow and White Widow. With a singular growth: in vegetative this plant looks like an Indica, but when it`s blooming, it`s strong and vigorous and its leaves turn and look like the best Sativa`s leaves. It is a Sativa with a touch of Haze flavour, that`s why the growing periods must be really short if we do not want to get too big plants. So indoor we recommend, using cuttings, to put them blooming directly. Sativa: 75% / Indica: 25 % Harvest outdoor: end of October Flowering Indoor: 70-75 days THC: 20%
