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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Sugar Cream

Sugar Cream from All in Medicinal Seeds is the result of crossing a spectacular selection of Northern Lights with a very good and productive Cream Caramel female. This Indica-dominant medicinal marijuana strain grows short and compact, true to its Afghan descent. The flavours are earthy hash with hints of floral fruits. The effect is what you would expect from a very potent indica, very physical, but with moderate initial brain stimulation. This strain is best suited for many medicinal uses due to its high content in CBD and THC. Genotype: Cream Caramel x Northern Lights 80% Indica / 20% Sativa Yield: 500 gr/m2 indoor, 550-750 gr/plant outdoor Flowering time: 50-55 days THC: 20% / CBD: 1.4% Effect: Medicinal Taste: Fresh fruit Smell: Fruity, floral
