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 Runtz Pucker
Runtz Pucker is a strain that develops vigorous and productive plants with an intense aroma and a spectacular resin production. It is the encounter between Runtz （Zkittlez x Gelato） and Lemongrass （Lemon Kush x Gelato）, two highly appreciated genetics in the US. This cross between two high-quality strains results in truly amazing plants both structurally and in terms of aroma and effects. It is a tall, large, ramified plant with strong vigour. In indoor cultivation, it easily fills all the available space. Grown outdoors it presents a voluminous and elegant appearance when cultivated in open ground. This variety adapts well to all types of pruning and moulding techniques, being suitable for SCROG, SOG, Topping, Supercropping and LST cultivation. It offers fantastic results in the hands of all growers and in any cultivation method, as long as is provided with a balanced nutrition, a good sun exposure and abundant water. Runtz Pucker, extremely fruity and very resinous
In indoor cultivation, it is advisable to use an odour neutralisation system or an activated carbon filter, as the yield of up to 500g per m2 of flowers emanates scents that can be detected by neighbours unless care is
