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.

Flowering type

Autoflowering This is an autoflowering cultivar — a genuine ruderalis-derived genetic trait (it flowers by age, not light cycle). That’s a real, heritable distinction, unlike the indica/sativa label above.

About Vanilla Ice Automatic

Vanilla Ice Autoflowering: Ice, Ice, Baby Vanilla Ice is one of Zambeza’s best-selling Indicas and truly a remarkable strain. It was created by crossing genetics of Northern Lights XL, Skunk, and Afghani. The autoflowering version is simply a crossing between the feminized version of Vanilla Ice, and Ruderalis. Growers will just need to compromise a little bit on THC levels, but will get the fastest turnover of frosted Indica nuggets imaginable, in return. The most beautiful growing trait of Vanilla Ice is the insane production of resin and crystals during flowering. It will give the whole plant a magnificent appearance and buds really look like as if they would have been frosted. It doesn’t take much time to get there. Vanilla Ice Autoflowering completes its short life cycle in 55-65 days after seeds haven been germinated. It’s not a small strain, with typical indoor heights of 60-90cm, and yields of 300-350g/m². Outdoor growers with a sunny spot can count on 100-175g per plant. It might grow a little taller outdoors but heights of 1m won’t be exceeded. THC levels might be moderate with 13% but this doesn’t mean that Vanilla Ice produces a weak smoke. In fact, the opposite might b
