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 Rainbow Glue
Rainbow Glue has been our top selling variety over the 10 months since her launch in July 2018.
By combining the world’s #1 girl for sublime flavour and an incredible terpene profile ‘Zkittles’ with a world beater for THC production and resin count ‘Gorilla Glue #4’ Rainbow Glue was created to combine the best of both worlds into a huge yielding amazing tasting and exceptionally potent girl.
In an optimal environment Rainbow Glue can pack on as much weight as 700gm2 and absolutely glistening with a sugary sweet thick coating of resin.
Her THC rating of 22% in the current climate may not be headline news, but there’s much more here than just THC on show.
Rainbow Glue produces copious amounts of terpenes, terpenes are essential oils and carry not only flavour profiles but also many medicinal qualities.
Terpenes also create an entourage effect by increasing the high you feel, so if THC is the strength of a strain then the terpenes are the wheels which deliver that potency to its fullest efficiency. Rainbow Glue is an indica dominant girl who’s effects hit hard and fast erasing your day to day concerns and stresses.
