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 Banana Daddy
Banana Daddy is a hybrid cannabis strain from Colorado that descends from one of California's biggest indica superstars (hint: her name has the word "purple" in it). Keep reading to learn all there is to know about Banana Daddy, including its genetic background, origins, effects, and growth traits. History of the Banana Daddy Strain Banana Daddy is a hybrid strain created by Ethos Genetics. Founded in 2017 in Littleton, Colorado, Ethos Genetics is the brainchild of its founder Colin Gordon. Colin has been breeding cannabis since 1993 and started running his own dispensary in 2008. By 2009, Colin was running a 1,300,000 sq ft commercial cannabis grow. Today, he is a highly respected breeder and his genetics have won over 30 different cannabis cups. Banana Daddy is one of Ethos Genetics' lesser-known strains, with varieties like Citradelic Sunset, Citral Flo, Colin OG, Lilac Diesel, and Mandarin Sunset attracting plenty of attention from both growers and smokers. In 2022, Ethos Genetics was named Best Seed Company of Denver by the city's leading independent news company, Westword.
