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 White Opium
Origin: Afghanistan / Brazil / India
Type: 60% Indica / 40% Sativa
Flowering: 67 Days
THC: 28%
Harvest: 700 - 850 g/m2
Height: 150 - 180 cm How come White Opium cannabis strain looks and smells amazing? That’s a package of tremendous genetics along with clever breeding! Extraordinarily psychoactive and productive Opium, a variety of our own design, was crossed with the world’s favorite White Widow. Obviously, this formula mixes Brazilian and Afghani landrace marijuana （on the Opium side） with Southern Indian and a different Brazilian Sativa — the genetic base of White Widow. A lot of research computing was then applied to facet the most desirable features of this new genotype. The new strain was repeatedly crossed with its parents, then certain phenotypes proceeded to be bred with one another. Eventually, our reward was this mid-height bush with extremely thick trichome growth and a rich flavor: lemon, pine, juniper and berries. White Opium is a strongly sedative medical strain that experts have so far estimated as a more potent example of “white” Indica marijuana like White Rhino, Sugar Daddy, etc. Growing this cannabis is a fun and easy journey with generous yield at the end if
