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 70%Sativa 30%

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.

History of First Class Funk Strain First Class Funk is a descendant of the almighty Gelato and Cookies genetic lines and was bred by none other than Chris Lynch—founder of Compound Genetics and creator of some of the world's most beloved modern cannabis strains. While Chris suffers from early-onset Parkinson's disease, he shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Since his years as a high school freshman, Chris has had a deep love for cannabis. However, his career has really taken off in recent years. Ever since he founded Compound Genetics in 2017, Chris Lynch created a long list of cannabis strains from unique crosses and meticulous pheno hunts. Between 2017 and 2019, Chris worked with a lot of Gelato genetics, which were still fresh on the market and hadn't yet become as popular as they are now. After performing countless crosses using different Gelato varieties, Chris finally landed on Jet
