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 Wreck
Rainbow Wreck: The perfect balance between Indica and Sativa
Rainbow Wreck, on the one hand, is inherited from one of North America's most famous Sativas, Trainwreck, which offers abundant yields, citric and spicy flavours and a strong effect. On the other hand, to make it less wild and transmit its strength to modern hybrids, it was crossed with Moonbow # 75, which makes it more compact and incorporated a sweet and fruity touch to its terpene profile. Rainbow Wreck structure is reminiscent of Ecuadorian Sativas, like chandeliers with long spear-shaped flower colas, but with shorter internodal distance inherited from Moonbow. Rainbow Wreck matures in about 75 days, offering a medium-high yield of large resin-coated flowers. Rainbow Wreck is resistant to insect pests, it is a strong cannabis plant easy to cultivate thanks to its hybrid vigour and adaptability. Rainbow Wreck, strong aroma and high tripose effect
Rainbow Wreck delivers a strong aroma and a high trippy effect. Its terpenes profile combines spicy, woody and floral notes in a sweet and acidic background, a perfect expression of its parents' traits. This complex aroma is accompanied by a high stimulating and energising ef
