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 Red Runtz
An indica-dominant cultivar from Exotic Genetix, Red Runtz is a reversed cross of the renowned Runtz line, harnessing Runtz and Red Pop genetics. Producing distinct maroon-colored buds and boasting sour red candy flavors, this heavy-yielding indica has plenty to offer growers, both new and old. To discover the strain’s history, genetic lineage, and what you can expect in the grow room, keep reading. Strain History of Red Runtz Red Runtz is not only a testament to the strength of the Runtz lineage, but showcases the skill of Washington-based seed bank Exotic Genetix. Founded by Exotic Mike, this well-known cannabis breeding company started life thanks to a local hydroponic store. It was here that Mike offered a helping hand in exchange for growing equipment. With his love for growing and a desire to support the area's increasing number of medicinal marijuana patients, he began experimenting with cannabis seeds, focusing on strains that had a solid resilience to mold and pests. After several years of successful breeding, Mike's passion project quickly outgrew the realms of a single grow tent, and with the help of some friends, Exotic Genetix was established.
