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 Golosa
Delicious Seeds presents one of this year’s new strains, a plant resulting from crossing Blueberry x Grapefruit, which we THEN crossed with Bay 11. This gorgeous hybrid, which was developed by our top breeder, is part of PROJECT 11 which began 4 YEARS AGO in OUR TEST LABORATORY, will surprise you with its very dark colours which are most prominent at the end of its cycle, finishing flowering in an intense jet- black that is very pretty. With respect to taste, Golosa (DS36) (which can be translated into English as sweet-toothed, greedy or tempting) has hints of bitter fruits such as grapefruit, green mango with touches of peppermint, coffee and liquorice. Its flowers give off an aroma somewhere between green tea and thyme, a very pleasant smell that transports you rapidly to wooded places full of vegetation. The strain is a medium-sized plant with very little branching and will finish flowering in around 60 days, giving you a very quick harvest. This is a very resistant plant and will not be affected, therefore, by mould or other pests. Our Golosa (DS36) has quite high levels of active compounds, with some samples analysed showing values of more than 26% THC. Taste: grapefruit, gree
