Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the 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). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s 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 Petro Chem
Petro Chem, resin-coated buds with an explosive aroma
This Sativa dominant hybrid offers very vigorous, tall and well-branched plants. It produces flowers in the shape of golf balls distributed by each node. This plant structure makes it an excellent variety for pruning, trellising and SCROG when cultivated indoors in order to increment floral sites and control the final size. Outdoors, Petro Chem produces very large wide and tall plants, offering the best results in hot climates or in greenhouses to protect their dense and compact buds from humidity. It matures after about 65-70 days of flowering, offering a generous yield of fleshy flowers totally covered with trichomes. Similarly to its parent GG # 4, Petro Chem will provide excellent returns in resin extractions. Cultivated indoors is highly recommended using carbon filters or other anti-odour systems in order to control its powerful and persistent fragrance. Its terpenes profile, a complex and unforgettable aroma, combines chemical glue notes with an exotic and fruity touch inherited from Moon Bow. Petro Chem quickly delivers an intense, relaxing and positive effect thanks to its inherited THC level of 28%. Archive Seeds Petro
