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 Cherry Gorilla

We're very proud of our black cherry pie line as I spent some time working on the BCP to stabilize and lock down the flavor and yields it brings. Not to mention the Subtle hues of magenta. The pairing of these two crosses simply put is beast mode! Some of the most crazy terpy flavors and aromas with mind melting highs! Genetics: Gorilla Glue #4 x Black Cherry Pie Yield: Extra Large Flowering Time: 8-9 Weeks Plant Height: Medium-Tall
