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 GG #4
Cannabis history tell us that the famous Gorilla Glue was accidently created by two farmers, Joesy Whales and Lonie Watie. Joesy’s Chem Sis plants hermied and pollinated his Sour Dubb. As probably any grower would do in such a case, he tossed out the strain but for some reason his buddy kept some of the seeds. A good thing that he did! They popped the seeds later and the rest is history, the famous Gorilla Glue was born!
Gorilla Glue turned out outright spectacular. Her THC levels measure 24-26%, with some of her phenos at times reportedly having measured 30%, making her one of the most potent Indicas available. As for the strain’s name, according to cannabis lore the breeders choose the name Gorilla Glue because of the strain’s crazy resin production that made the guys stick to all kinds of things after handling the newly created strain. But her name could also do well to describe GG’s amazingly powerful high that will “glue” you to your couch in awesome relaxation although her effect isn’t just a deep body stone but comes with a greatly balancing euphoria as well.
The flowering time of this Indica hybrid is 9-10 weeks with yields that won’t necessarily break records but are still
