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 Nordés
This plant is the result of cross-breeding Black Domina with Critigal+. Its Afghan ancestry provides an Indica element to this strong, tough hybrid capable of finishing the flowering stage by the end of the summer. These features make it an indispensable choice for outdoor, greenhouse and guerrilla crops, particularly in humid environments. That is why we named it after the northeast wind that often sweeps Galicia: NORDÉS.
The seeds of this strain produce plants that are easy to grow, very resistant, dense, compact, and early bloomers with a large amount of resin in their flowers. When grown outdoors, it can reach over two metres and its yield is around 600 grams per plant, but, most importantly, it is ready to be harvested at the beginning of September. That is why growers from rainy or cold regions really appreciate it, as they can harvest their plants before autumn comes. In indoor crops, it is perfect for the Sea of Green method, thanks to its large central bud, for which topping is not recommended. Flowering comes to an end after 50 days with 12 hours of daily light, and the plant produces around 500 grams per square metre. Its buds are dense and heavy, and completely covered
