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 Obsession
After years in development, WORLD OF SEEDS has launched onto the market one of our breeders’ most highly prized polyhybrids. This is an excellent cross which preserves the most outstanding genetic traits most highly valued by cannabis lovers such as, for example, hybrid vigour, high germination success rates, high resistance to pests, short flowering cycle, high levels of THC and CBD and unmatchable taste and aroma. WORLD OF SEEDS specialists achieved these genetic results by crossing then re-crossing as described: this strain’s genetic lineage starts with a selection of clones from SOUTHERN BRAZIL whose genes contribute potent introspective highs and heightened resistance to pests. Females from selected clones were then crossed with a selection of homogeneous CINDERELLA 99 and MATANUSKA TUNDRA males that confer excellent yields, extraordinarily high quality resin and a short flowering cycle. The resulting cross was then cultivated in a greenhouse to tame its wild ancestral landrace genes then treated with STS technology from the NATURAL PRODUCTS AND SEEDS AND LIFE laboratories in Amsterdam to produce a super stable F1 polyhybrid whose genes are perfectly suited for growing indoors
