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 Zombie Virus
Breed by by O.G.A. Seeds A cross of two of our favorite strains from 2008. The recipe of course is a secret, but with the quality of the parentage here, there was no way this one would not be a winner. The mom is a full indica, compact and very strong. Dad is a diesel cross that has slight grape undertones. Together this has produced a very stable, mostly indica cross that has commercial potential. The name was an easy one. Dr Dog is a zombie nut, and sort of believes that it is coming, never mind the asteroids or the global warming, it will be zombies that do us in...save us Milla!! Buds are full of trichomes 4 weeks into flower and continue to get denser as the weeks go on. Plant does well topped or not and responds well to training. Yield is very good, 3 oz/gallon pot. This plant is pretty much care free, responds well to fertilizer and can handle most heavy brews. Zombie clones very easily and is a quick vegging plant. Due to its sticky demeanor in an indoor climate, it is recommended that if growing outdoors, you limit the amount of rain on buds. This strain is perfect for a beginner or pro gardener
