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.

Aromas/ flavors: candy, mango, strawberry True Gold OG is a crossbreeding of an indigenous Kush from Afghanistan and our famous cup-winning Bruce Banner #3. Endless amounts of resin crystals glittering on the dense heavy buds, along with the honey brown pistles, turning the flowers of the True Gold OG to golden yellow nuggets. She has a delightfully pleasant and smooth smoke. This indica dominant strain gets countless huge and dense buds that become golden in late flowering. The weed has a intense fruit aroma with clear hints of sweet strawberries. True Gold OG produces an exceptionally potent and beautiful looking golden weed that will make even the most devoted of smokers weak. The smoke tastes sweet and extremely fruity. The High is a great mixture of strong head and body effects that come on quick and lasts for a couple of hours. This strain grows to a medium height and has a bushy, almost ball like structure, producing a large amount of lateral branching. The buds are huge, dense and heavy,
