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 Purple Dawg MASS
The monster yielding, chemy cousin of our Purple Skunk Mass is here! Using our Monster Mass and the musky, sweet Lavender specimen that made up our original Skunk version of this strain, we swapped out the Afghan line and used the full-on-fuel and Kush flavour profile of a strapping Purple Chemdawg stud. The most common phenotypes are of Indica dominance with ultra vigouros growth in both veg and flower- kicking some serious ass outdoors! Multiple branches all as big as the main cola, produce on an XL commercial level just like all of our Monster Mass hybrids. A few complex flavor profiles can be noted...one acrid lemon pledge and marker pens, one sweet, Kushy and exotic wood and spice and the least common pheno always having fat squat leaves and reeking of a noxious, foul gas/decay odour but tasting like heavy diesel, Cassis, burnt caramel with sweet chr(64258)oral top notes...basically smells like shit but tastes like heaven. This "Dawg Shit" pheno tested highest in THC and has become the sought after version but all specimens exude undertones of sugary grape and Sour Diesel notes. The Lavender and Purple Chemdawg lines collide perfectly with the Monster Mass genetics to ensure b
