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 Venice Beach Afghan
The Venice Beach Afghan is a crossing between the powerful OG Kush and the fertile White Widow. The Venice Beach Afghan is a popular plant because it’s easy to grow but still has a strong and exceptional effect. The Venice Beach Afghan is a cross between OG Kush and White Widow that contains 25% Sativa and 75% Indica. Because of it being crossed with White Widow you’re getting a plant with a high yield and that’s easy to grow. OG Kush originates from California and is world famous for its remarkable aroma and powerful effects. These OG Kush features are reflected in the smell, flavour and effects of the Venice Beach Afghan. The Venice Beach Afghan is a small and wide plant with large Indica buds. These chunky buds are being produced due to its White Widow genetics. Even though the plant is small, the yield will still be reasonably high because of these buds. The Venice Beach Afghan is not a difficult plant. It’s not susceptible to disease and moulds and easily stays healthy. After a blooming period of 7 to 8 weeks, when the trichomes are milky-white and ember coloured, it is ready for harvest. Make sure to properly dry the cannabis after harvesting!
