Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type I
THC-dominant
Chemotype — the cannabinoid and terpene profile — is the lab-verifiable 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). Cannabinoid type is set largely by a single gene (the THC:CBD ratio); about 96% of commercial flower is Type I, THC-dominant. Terpene profiles are sourced from Certificates of Analysis (COA) and roll out as Areto’s lab-verified 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 Descojack
Delicious Seeds present Descojack, a Sativa-leaning hybrid (60%) resulting from a cross between Unknown Kush and one of the most famous and prized cannabis varieties of recent decades, Jack Herer. While the exact genetics of Unknown Kush remain a mystery, we do know that among its parents is the mythical Bay11, one of California's best-loved Sativas and winner of the prestigious High Times Cannabis Cup. Descojack, high THC, high yields
Descojack was created as a project to improve an already exceptional Jack Herer, but one in which the Delicious team wanted to improve both production and stability. The result is utterly spectacular, as they found plants that kept the same Jack Herer flavour but with delicious nuanced Kush touches. In addition, the offspring tested an average THC level of 23%, a considerable amount of this cannabinoid, which together with these incredible terpenes means that consuming it is a unique experience. Growing Delicious Seeds' Descojack
Thanks to the influence of Unknown Kush, the structure of the Jack Herer has been improved and tamed a little, reducing its height and making it more adaptable and easy to work with growing cannabis indoors, and generally mo
