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 OG
Breeder:Orgnkid Banana OG is an Indica-dominant cross of GhostOG x Banana, that recently lab-tested at 25.46% THCa and 0.76% CBDa.
This strain really does taste and smell just like old bananas. If truth be told, it’s kind of a gross flavor. We were surprised to realize that there was hardly any OG smell at all to the Banana OG. Instead there were hidden undertones of cinnamon and some type of Christmas-time potpourri that I only could detect after a grind. However, it is definitely not the same fresh pine scent most OG’s have. After the first bowl of Banana OG, a very mellow buzz set in most of my upper body that was very comforting. The initial buzz was heavily concentrated in my chest and behind my eyes, but crept slowly throughout my body until eventually ending with a full bodied mellowing effect. Even my eyelids became heavy and relaxed. Despite my abrupt hunger, after just about two bowls my entire body felt so relaxed that I didn’t want to get off the couch; this strain kick-started my appetite big time.
At first I thought that the Banana OG was weak because I felt none of the typical OG effects I was expecting. It just didn’t slap me in the face like most heavy OG strains d
