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 Banana MAC
Genetic: MAC x Banana Kush
hybrid (60% Indica, 40% Sativa)
aroma: banana, pineapple, berries
flowering time: 8-9 weeks
THC: up to 26% We set out to find a way to underline the excellent properties of our MAC and found the right partner in a specially selected Banana Kush phenotype with a higher sativa content. This enabled us to increase yields to the maximum and to extend the fresh, tangy aroma of the MAC with the wide terpenes range of the Banana Kush. It is a fruit bomb that stimulates all senses and takes the consumer into new spheres. Banana MAC looks good on all growing media but we recommend organic cultivation on soil to exploit its wide range of terpenes. The plants reach heights of 120 – 180cm, respond excellently to LST and are particularly suitable for Scrog and mainlinig. Indoors harvests of 500-600 g / m² can be expected, outdoors are 700 g per plant easy to reach even for inexperienced growers. It is a very resinous cannabis strain, whose buds and also the leaves are completely covered with a thick layer of shiny resins. Due to its very extensive terpene profile, it is excellently suited for bubble hash and aromatic extractions. Its effects are persistent for a very
