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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Diesel

Sweet and sour banana diesel is a real deal treat, especially for those with a sour diesel penchant as it's such a universally enjoyed sour strain whose effects are just magnificent. The resulting hybrid is like looking down the barrel of a 12 gauge, it might look sweet and shiny but beware when it goes off it's strong and it's going to make you sweat and probably look for somewhere comfortable at first as she washes over you in waves of relaxation from her sweet and sour exhale. She sits in quick and is a great med for those seeking recovery time. The banana side keeps your productive head engaged so a great thinking aid and also helps with muscle to eating concerns, it's a truly impressive strain very useful in the hands and fantastic as a med do not miss out on this as our Banana Diesel has gained a massive reputation and is difficult to keep up with the demand for her, enjoY responsibly please
