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 Runtz
Banana Runtz stands as one of the strongest cannabis strains currently available. Find out who created this behemoth, how it fares in grow tents or gardens, and what you can expect when you fire up a blunt or bowl of this powerful cultivar. History of the Banana Runtz Strain Banana Runtz belongs to the genetic library of Solfire Gardens. This seed bank was established in the Pacific Northwest in 2015 when its founder, a biology graduate from the University of Washington, decided to parlay their fascination with pheno-hunting and breeding into a viable business. Solfire Gardens distinguishes itself with its goal of pairing innovation with tradition. The team strives to use their scientific knowledge to streamline the breeding process and create novel genetics that satisfy the changing demands of the market, while remaining true to the nostalgic traits of classic cultivars. Serving both hobbyists and professional horticulturalists, Solfire Gardens has developed a large catalog of strains that caters to growers of all preferences and ambitions. Their selection is diverse, but all cultivars have one thing in common: rigorous development. Solfire Gardens also champions top-tier research
