Chemotype genetics-true

THC
20.0%
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 Pretty Lights

The extremely popular, easy to grow Northern Lights has been crossed with the beautifully psychedelic Belladonna, creating a real head turner! She produces huge flowers that are amber gold in colour and full of resin. Her intoxicating aroma reeks of forest fruits with a slightly acidic overtone and she delivers a very trippy, hallucinogenic high that requires a degree of self control when it comes to indulging in her. She will have pretty lights dancing around your head in no time.... Genetics: Northern Lights X Belladonna Genotype: Mainly Indica Yield: Approx 500g/m2 indoor & 750g/m2 outdoor Flowering time: Approx 65-70 days Mould/Pest resistance: Very high THC: 20%
