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 Velvet Mist
Velvet Mist is a stunning mostly Indica strain from the cross of Purple Kush and Wedding Cake. This hybrid dazzles with intense purple hues, dense buds, and a captivating aroma. Purple Kush delivers those signature purple tones, berry, and earthy vibes, while Wedding Cake adds rock-solid stability, massive yields, and creamy-sweet vanilla notes – creating a visually striking, flavor-packed powerhouse. Dominant terpenes like caryophyllene, myrcene, and limonene shine through in a profile of sweet woody earthiness, creamy vanilla, subtle berries, and a spicy-peppery kick. Indoors, Velvet Mist cannabis seeds grow into compact, bushy medium plants that are super easy for beginners. Outdoors, it thrives in temperate or Mediterranean climates with strong mold and pest resistance from both parents – just thin dense foliage occasionally for optimal airflow.
