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 The Limey
The Limey is a powerful fusion of Bodhi’s American Outdoor Skunk and Cayo Hueso (CBH S2 x Sawa), combining classic Skunk intensity with vibrant tropical Sativa energy. This mostly Sativa hybrid is easy to cultivate and stands out for its exceptionally strong, penetrating aroma.
Plants generally stay compact to medium in height while maintaining a traditional Sativa structure. However, some phenotypes stretch taller, developing elongated, spear-shaped colas that clearly reflect the Cayo Hueso influence.
Bright lime terpenes dominate the more Sativa-leaning phenotypes, delivering sharp citrus zest and sour fruit notes. Even the smaller plants release a bold citrus fragrance. Skunky expressions are frequent and range from sweaty, old-school body-odor funk to deep, musky undertones that cling to the air. Certain phenotypes push even further into a sharp, chemical-skunk spectrum—reminiscent of acetone blended with fermented citrus cleaner—intense, invasive, and remarkably long-lasting.
With a flowering time of 10–11 weeks and THC levels around 21%, The Limey delivers a classic yet extreme terpene profile that appeals to growers and connoisseurs who appreciate loud, unapologetic Skunk ar
