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 30%Sativa 70%

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 Original Amnesia

Original Amnesia is extremely productive and has a powerful effect. After many years of winning several cups and being nº1 in the coffeeshop of Holland, the breeder of Amnesia has created its feminized version. Amnesia is the creation of a Dutch breeder. It is the cross of a Haze and a Northern Lights and a best seller year after year, in every coffee shop in Holland. It is well known for being a sativa that grows like an indica. Very productive, strong effect and of manageable height. It tastes like a sweet sativa, sweeter than the majority of Haze hybrids, with a brutal amount of crystal resin. It needs high levels of EC and light to give its best. Those looking for top quality, they prefer to cultivate it organically. We recommend to treat it with respect, it is overwhelmingly powerful and you have to be careful with it, because it can cause blackouts. Breeder’s first feminized Original Amnesia. Brutal effect. Extremely good producer. Flowering days: 60 - 70 Harvesting outdoors: 30/9 - 25/10 THC: 16% - 22% CBD: low Producton: 1000 gramos - 1500 gramos Genetic: Sativa: 90.0% / Indica: 10.0%
