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 Somango XL
Loved for its sweet taste, pleasant high, and fruity scent, Somango has been dubbed “the beast” after years of popularity and critical acclaim on the internet. The strain earned its name because it has a satisfying and fruity flavor that is reminiscent of tropical mangos. The effect of the high comes on very quickly and it brings about a calming feeling of peaceful clarity. The high is guaranteed not to leave you feeling sluggish or tired, and it is great for drowning out pesky distractions so that you can begin focusing on whatever you wish to set your mind to. The high is very strong and can last for several hours as it is 17% THC. It is the perfect strain for garnering inspiration for creative endeavors. The strain was originally introduced due to a demand for a plant that could produce a euphoric, classic high without a side-effect of lethargy. It was created by breeding two of the most productive and robust plants available, Somango and Critical 47. This hybrid has been tested on a massive scale. Since its availability has increased, it has earned the adoration of many who reap the benefits of purchasing this seed. Somango feminized has a genetic blend of 25% sativa and 75% in
