Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type III
CBD-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 Nepal Annapurna
PURE SATIVA FROM THE ANNAPURNA MOUNTAINSIDE, USED TO PRODUCE THE
FAMOUS NEPALESE CHARAS
Pure sativa landrace from the slopes of Annapurna at more than 2000 metres altitude, which
produces a classic and authentic wild Nepalese sativa phenotype: tall and lanky sativas with sticky,
slender and flexible stems, which thrive in poor soils with very little cares and attentions, showing
excellent resistance against mould, rain, wind, cold and strong temperature contrasts.
Its delicate and spongy flowers with small floral bracts and long pistils mature in moderate flowering
times for a pure sativa （12-14 weeks）, and acquire beautiful purple and pink colours at the end of
flowering in low temperatures.
The locals rub their flowers with their bare hands from the second half of flowering onwards, so the
hands get impregnated with resins, from which the famous Nepalese charas is produced: hashish of
spicy and incensey aromas, sometimes slightly mentholated and fruity, which delivers a clean,
refreshing, inspiring and spiritual effect that elevates the mind to the highest peaks of consciousness,
and that for the quality of its effects and terpenes is considered as one of the best and finest
hash
