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 Super Skunk Kush
This strain is a cross between an elite Super Skunk clone with a variety with pure Kush genetics. The result is a vigorous, fairly compact plant that develops well but with an ordered structure. Produces exuberant branches full of large buds and gives excellent results both indoor and outdoor where plants can get quite big in the right conditions. The resin has a profoundly sweet aroma with spicy Afghan hash back notes. Its effects are immediate with an initial euphoric high leading to a deep state of mental and physical relaxation. Suitable for a broad range of medicinal uses owing to high cannabinoid levels. Lineage: Super Skunk x Kush
