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 Snow Ripper
This robust sturdy-looking bush-shaped Indica of large leaves has stems and nodes that grow quite close together. Snow Ripper is a delicate sight for sore eyes and for the most picky connoisseurs, a fast-ripening, easy to grow strain, a great producer of exuberant buds with large amounts of resin, besides being truly resistant to all types of plagues. Snow Ripper is an amazing aromatic wonder. She has an original, intense and fresh green forest flavour mixed with spice and earthy wood hints reminiscent of cold damp forests and winter rain. Snow Ripper provides a hard-hitting sedating body effect to relieve stress. Highly recommended for therapeutic users of marijuana. Thanks to her high production of resin, this beauty is ideally suited to hash making. Genetic origin: SECRET HYBRID X GINGER-ALE X AFGHANI Seed type: Feminized
