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 Orange Barb
The combination of Barbara Bub with Tangie results in a variety that is remarkable in many aspects. Vigorous and easy to grow, it offers a complex and highly enjoyable flavour profile. Orange Barb, a hugely vigorous plant
This cross brings together the famous Tangie with one of the classics from the House of the Great Gardener catalogue, Barbara Bud, a mouthwatering hybrid that has won numerous cups and awards in cannabis competitions around the world, resulting in a fast-growing plant that's simple to cultivate. Barbara Bud develops a compact structure like a small pine tree, it produces solid plants with multiple secondary branches. For its part Tangie brings even more strength and vigour which allows for particularly fast growth during the vegetative period of Orange Barb. With a flowering period of 8 to 9 weeks, Orange Barb offers fast blooming genetics, with huge crops of swollen flower heads, resulting in a very rewarding harvest, both in terms of quantity and quality. Orange Barb a shot of fruity flavours
The heads give off a smell of freshly peeled blood orange that fills the room instantly. During cultivation the plants also emit a very strong aroma, sign of an exceptional
