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 Gelonade
Gelonade derives from powerhouse USA parent strains and possesses huge levels of THC and invigorating citrus flavors. Get to know this variety below to decide if she deserves a place in your grow room or garden. Strain History of Gelonade Gelonade originates from a breeding project carried out in California. Her breeders wanted to create something productive, sweet, cerebral, and energizing. Soon after achieving their goal, Gelonade went on to become an extremely popular cultivar across the West Coast and beyond. To begin with, Gelonade spread chiefly through word of mouth. However, this all changed when the strain started to win prestigious awards, such as the Sativa Flower Cup in 2018 and Best Indoor Flower at The Emerald Cup in 2021. Since these wins, Gelonade continues to show up in more grow rooms, gardens, and dispensaries than ever before. Many seed banks now stock these genetics, including the Spanish outlet Philosopher Seeds. Genetic Lineage of Gelonade Gelonade inherited her core traits from two terpene-packed parent varieties. Dive deeper into this pair below to get a better understanding of the building blocks of Gelonade: • Lemon Tree: Also known as Lemon Tree Kush, th
