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 Fat Banana
Fat Banana is the result of an intense selective breeding project we have been running here at RQS, looking to produce and hone a strain rarely seen. The result is a strain with some uncommon features, likely appeal to connoisseurs, collectors, and growers alike – especially for those looking for a unique stash. Fat Banana is a prime Kush strain with a genetic background tracing back to OG Kush x Chiquita Banana. It is a heritage with a lot of power behind it, creating a foundation for Fat Banana’s greatness. This can be seen in the potency of Fat Banana’s bud, which can reach up to 25%+ THC when grown with an expert hand. The potential here is great! Yield and Growth Habit Fat Banana can yield an average of 350-400 g/m² under a 600w light, and flowers in around 7-8 weeks indoors. It is worth noting, Fat Banana is an indica-dominant hybrid that could be classed as something of a “stretch indica” given her propensity to develop an enormous long-running main cola if left untrained. Outdoors in warmer climates, Fat Banana can turn into monster bushes that will most likely require support. They will be ready for the chop by mid-September. As mentioned, if you treat her right, the prize
