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 Tangieberto
Tangieberto by Purple City Genetics is a flavorful hybrid that brings together the bright citrus character of Tangie with the creamy, sweet and lime-forward qualities of Key Lime Pie. The result is a terpene-rich cultivar with an intense citrus profile backed by fresh lime, sweet cookie-like notes and a subtle gassy depth.
Plants typically finish in around 8–9 weeks, producing resinous flowers with a strong aromatic presence. Tangieberto is also valued as an extraction cultivar, with Purple City Genetics reporting approximately 5–6% hash yield from selected plants.
The aroma opens with pronounced tangerine and orange, followed by sharp lime and citrus zest, while deeper notes of cookie dough, sweetness and light gas develop underneath. The combination gives Tangieberto a distinctive balance between bright fruit and rich dessert terpenes.
Overall, Tangieberto is a versatile PCG cultivar for growers and extractors looking for loud citrus terpenes, heavy resin production and a relatively fast 8–9 week flowering period
