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 Otter Popz
Otter Popz is an evenly balanced hybrid strain （50% indica/50% sativa） created through crossing the delicious Animal Mints X Gelato 41 strains. Named for your favorite childhood summertime snack, Otter Popz packs a sweet and sugary flavor and a giddy high that will leave you coming back for more again and again. Like its namesake treat, this bud has a sweet and fruity cherry berry flavor with a creamy yet sour citrusy exhale. The aroma is very similar, with a punch of sour citrus accented by fresh fruity berries, spicy menthol and nutty earthiness. The Otter Popz high will hit you almost as soon as you exhale, rushing through your brain with an expansive sense of giddy euphoria. Your mind will feel as light as air as it’s filled with a hazy sense of happiness that has you dropping in and out of fits of the giggles while alternating with creative clarity. Thanks to these effects and its super high 30-33% average THC level, Otter Popz is said to be perfect for treating chronic stress or PTSD, depression or mood swings and appetite loss or nausea. This bud has dense diamond-shaped forest green nugs with thin orange hairs and a coating of tiny, dark amber-tinted white crystal trichomes
