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.

Flowering type

Autoflowering This is an autoflowering cultivar — a genuine ruderalis-derived genetic trait (it flowers by age, not light cycle). That’s a real, heritable distinction, unlike the indica/sativa label above.

About Northern Light x Big Bud Auto

Canadian Ruderalis genes were used to provide the automatic properties which we’ve crossed and re-crossed to ensure a 100% autoflowering strain that starts flowering after 25 days and will be ready to crop in around twelve weeks. In its non-auto version, Northern Lights x Big Bud is a very strong, mainly Indica strain that produces astonishing yields. By combining the extreme potency of Northern Lights, a strain that was taken to Holland in the 70s as a clone where it was stabilised by crossing it with Skunk #1 and Thai, with the impressive production capacity of Big Bud gives us a mainly Afghan Indica plant that grows quite tall and produces resin even on its medium-sized leaves. The automatic version, which is a tall plant that can reach up to 1.5m, is an extremely potent, high-yielding strain that is very popular with both experienced and novice growers. Produces a dense smoke with an earthy, yeasty taste with sweet, acidic notes. Highly recommended for medicinal use.
