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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Waifu

MOTHER: RANDY MARSH FATHER: ICE CREAM CAKE KUSH MINT F2 FAMILY: INDICA (60% – 40%) FLOWERING TIME: 53 – 63 DAYS YIELD: HEAVY FLAVOR: COOKIE – MELON – DIESEL THC: HIGH (25% – 28%) Waifu is the star genetics in resin production, mainly for bubble hash since it gives abysmal returns thanks to its ideal trichome release. We owe this characteristic to the father Ice Cream Cake Kush Mint F2. While his mother, Randy Marsh, provides the fruity flavors such as pineapple and melon, and the size of the glands that is ideal for extracting into 90 micron bags. Waifu is considered an exotic genetic, whose eccentric terpenes make it an almost aphrodisiac strain. When you inhale it is smooth as silk, and when you exhale you immediately perceive the characteristic terpenes of this genetics, a strong melon flavor will flood your mouth, followed by a creaminess similar to shortbread cookies, and at the end the diesel flavor explodes. Exquisite and experienced palates like it so much. Its buds look alien, they are dense, small and a very dark purple color that contrasts incredibly with the extremely white resin. It has an aggressive hit that leaves you sprawled on the couch, Waifu is definitely not fo
