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 50%Sativa 50%

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 Gold Dropz

Lineage Spritzer x Apples & Banana's Indoor / Outdoor Flowering Time 9- 10 Weeks Yield High Aroma Bubblegum, Fruit Gold Dropz by Compound Genetics' is a new hybrid from Compounds' Apples & Bananas' line, that exhibits exceptional vigour alongside high-yielding plants with incredible terps & potency. The mother is the Spritzer, a cross of the clone-only Runtz hybrid crossed to a Spritzer aka Grape Pie x Mac male, bred by Cannardo that packs exotic, delightful bubblegum and fruity notes that consistently lead to unbelievable solventless hash. The Apples & Bananas pollinator adds new twists to the flavour with a heavy uplift in the pungent gas terps. Compound Genetics recommend making your selections on controlling bud structure, which can be prone to foxtail or growing too large if the irrigation is heavy during the vegetative stage. This cross is slightly longer flowering, with most phenotypes finishing in 9-10 weeks
