Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Terpene profile most dominant first
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the 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). The dominant terpenes below are aggregated from community and lab reporting; aroma and effect associations are preliminary and not medical claims. Lab-verified COA profiles roll out as Areto’s 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 Apples and Bananas
Teeming with apple, pear, and tree fruit flavors, Apples and Bananas is a strain that not only helped establish Compound Genetics, but leaves users feeling euphoric and uplifted. Moreover, its hybrid genetics means the strain won’t overpower or leave you unable to function. Instead, it takes a more balanced approach, and this all-encompassing influence has earned Apples and Bananas a place on numerous dispensary menus. Strain History of Apples and Bananas Apples and Bananas is one of several strains that helped establish Compound Genetics, a rebrand of the now-defunct brand Tiger Trees (founded in 2016 by Christopher Lynch). The San-Jose-born cannabis breeder has spent over fifteen years honing his craft and, along the way, released highly sought-after strains such as Legend Orange Apricot, Jet Fuel Gelato, and in 2019, Apples and Bananas. However, Christopher didn’t start his career as a serial breeder. Instead, it took over a decade before he released his first official strain. Before that, Christopher spent two years in Amsterdam, the self-proclaimed cannabis hub of Europe. Here, he immersed himself in cannabis culture, before returning to the US with a newfound appreciation for
