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 Sweet Valley Kush
Sweet Valley Kush is a feminised cannabis strain developed by Green House by crossing two classic Kush lineages: Afghan Kush and Hindu Kush, giving a pronounced Indica variety. This hybrid of Afghan Kush x Hindu Kush with 80% Indica genetics produces compact plants that are easily manageable in indoor cannabis grows, and discreet outdoors thanks to their stocky structure. The window of maturity of Sweet Valley Kush is from 8-9 weeks of flowering, offering abundant yields of up to 750g per m2 indoors and up to 1000g per plant when cultivated outdoors, where it will be ready to harvest in early October. Its dense, resin-coated buds have a sweet, floral aroma on an earthy Kush background, while its effect is deeply relaxing, with THC levels that can exceed 22%.
