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 Frost Monster
Flower Time: 63 Days
THC: 9.55% "Bred by Gomez's Swamp Donkey Seeds, PurpleFrost Monster is a cross between Katsu Bubba and Cherry Mountain. She is quickly becoming a favorite due to her heavy trichome coverage and sedating effect. Grown in coco using Advanced Nutrients, she was in flower for 63-days. PurpleFrost Monster, which was entry No. 10 in the field, scored a 73.95 (max = 100). Adding to the theory that a bud's terpene profile is more important than its THC content, CannTest's potency profile shows PurpleFrost Monster tested out at 9.55% total THC. With this year's victory in the Best Indica category, Gomez becomes the sixth competitor in Cannabis Classic history to win the highest honor in multiple categories." - KENDRA WRAY, Cannabis Classic
