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 Rose Gold
Rose Gold is an Indica dominant hybrid, a cross between a Pineapple Express selection offering a 15% Ice O Lator extractions return, and MoonBow on the other side, a Zkittlez x Do Si Dos hybrid very rich in terpenes. Rose Gold, a Hashish special variety
This genetic inheritance, from varieties as resinous as they are fruity, provides Rose Gold great potential both for resin glands production and for the terpene profile intensity, Rose Gold flowering period is about 60 to 70 days, with flowers and small leaves completely covered with a multitude of trichomes. The flowers acquire a dark purple colour that contrasts with the resin whiteness. Archive Seeds estimates that Rose Gold flower production is average, yet it offers excellent returns on all types of cannabis concentrates, producing a large amount of resin with a premium fruity aroma. Its aroma combines exotic notes, from pineapple to peach and grapes, with sweet, floral and spicy touches. Archive Seeds Rose Gold info:
