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 Gas Cake
Gas Cake is a hybrid cannabis strain descending from Wedding Cake and Octane genetic lines. Developed by one of California's biggest cannabis brands, Gas Cake produces vigorous plants that yield thick buds with pungent fuel aromas and a heavy stone. Keep reading to learn all there is to know about the Gas Cake strain, its effects, aromas, flavours, origins, and more. History of Gas Cake Gas Cake was created by Jungle Boys, a well-known Cali collective of cannabis growers and breeders. While Jungle Boys is up there with Cookies in terms of their popularity, the brand has fairly humble beginnings. Its founder, Ivan Vanorwick, has been growing, smoking, and selling weed since his high school days. In fact, his mum used to grow cannabis in their backyard, and Ivan got some exposure to growing weed by helping his mom tend the garden as a kid. However, it wasn't til the early 2000s that Ivan began developing a real passion for the plant. In 2003, Ivan's father was diagnosed with terminal cancer and his doctor recommended he try cannabis to manage his symptoms and the side effects of his treatment. Without a cannabis prescription, Ivan was able to source cannabis for his dad from Toluca L
