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 70%Sativa 30%

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 OC Oranges

Lineage: Orange Sherbert x Oz Kush x The Menthol Flowering Time: 8-9 Weeks Yield: Medium/High Potency: 23-27+% Aroma: Citrus, Lemon Zest, Orange Cream, Gas Notes: This cross combines the flavorful gassy & citrus terps from the Orange Sherb x OZ Kush with the unique and earthy peppermint profile The Menthol offers. Every phenotype we saw retained the citrus terps while some paired more with the gas side and some leaned more earthy/minty. Many selections retained some ammonia on the nose. Medium/low stretch with high trichome density
