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 Moby Dick
After over a decade from her birth, our iconic Moby Dick was screaming for a makeover and who are we to refuse to fulfil the desire of this monster that has brought us so much joy? So our breeders set out to work on her elegant clothes until they managed to create a brand-new delicate purplish outfit for the great beast of the cannabis kingdom. The result is a monster yielder, with mind-blowing effects and huge dimensions, dressed in purplish tones and even fruitier scents. Purple Moby Dick, derived from the cross of a Jack Herer and a Purple Afghan Kush, is a cannabis seed with the personality that has made our beloved PAK one of the flagships of Dinafem Seeds. A seductive version of our favourite whale aimed at drawing the attention of those who already love this legendary strain. Morphology Purple Moby Dick is as greedy as always, a gigantic plant that could reach heights of 3 metres outdoors. With profuse branching, this plant can stretch a lot sideways. Both her clearly hybrid-looking leaves and her flowers end up fully covered in a wide range of purplish hues that, depending on the environmental temperature, will be more or less intense.
