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 T99

Kiwiseeds entry for the 2011 HighTimes Cannabis Cup, T99, is something we're very proud of. A fantastic hybrid merging the unique flavour of Big Buddha "Cheese" with the equally special NL5 haze. The fusion is quite incredible. Plants tend to branch like Cheese but with a more vigorous upright tendency. The buds are huge and tend to need support! The end product is very special, huge cheesy flavor with extra spice from the haze, and a long up high due to its boost of haze genetics. A little longer flowering, but worth the wait!! Type: Greenhouse and Indoor Genetics: Indica 80% / Sativa 20% High: Heavy stoned Flowering time: 60 - 70 days Height: 50 - 100 cm Yield: 400 - 500 grams per m2 Medical: High THC / High CBD Climate: Cool, Temperate and Hot
