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 Tarts
Introducing Tarts, an indica-leaning hybrid that packs serious potency, averaging around 30% THC. Bred from Grease Monkey and Cream D’ Mint, this cultivar produces medium-to-tall plants that can be moderately demanding to grow, yet reward cultivators with a relatively quick flowering time of just under 60 days. Under optimal conditions, yields can reach up to 500g/m².
Tarts lives up to its name with a vibrant flavor and aroma profile where bright fruit notes take center stage, layered with zesty citrus and a sharp hint of mint that lingers long after each exhale. The effects begin with an energizing, mood-boosting rush of euphoria, sparking conversation and sociability while keeping the mind active and inspired. As the high progresses, the initial mental lift gradually settles into a soothing, full-bodied calm.
Because of its high THC content, Tarts may cause dry mouth and occasional dizziness, particularly at higher doses. Its strength and well-rounded effects have made it especially popular among medical users seeking support for chronic pain, anxiety, and hypertension.
