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 Spanish Nights
The Spanish Nights is our response to the original Northern Lights. Selecting the parents plants, we chose plants with less indica influence than the original has. Therefore the effect is more a very relaxing high rather than the classical couchlock. This hybrid produces thick, compact buds and gives you a weed which is perfect for relaxed evenings on the couch as well as for exciting club nights with some friends. Its aroma is sensual, seductive and exciting as Spanish nights... The flowering time indoor is at about 65 days, outdoor it´s ready mid-September. The Spanish Nights grows more like a sativa, but not so high. The plants do not need much space and they are perfect for a sea of green. Since they were cultivated under the Spanish sun, higher temperatures are not a big problem, but she does not like high temperature differences. She is quiet hungry and needs a lot of water. If the summer is not too wet, mold won´t be a problem at all. The Spanish Nights is a great plant for beginners. Genetics: 35% Sativa, 65% Indica
THC: 19%
Flowering time indoor: ca. 65 days
Harvest outdoor: beginn of Oct
