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 Gorilla Cake
Gorilla Cake has dense, frosty nugs that really pack on the resin late in flower. Her lineage of Original Glue x Wedding Cake make her increasingly popular choice for makers of concentrates and rosin. GORILLA CAKE FEMINISED SEEDS INFO
THC levels of 27% and above average yields make her a favourite with commercial growers too with her compact buds heavily loaded with trichomes come harvest and give off sweet gassy tones. Gorilla Cake parentage comes from crossing our Original Glue with the legendary Wedding Cake strain and a highly sought after addition to our Cali Special range GORILLA CAKE FEMINISED SEEDS GROW INFO
Our Aztech Genetics Gorilla Cake strain is fairly easy to grow and is suited to both new and experienced growers alike. The strain is slightly more sativa dominant and she responds well to topping and lst methods such a scrog or mainlining. Indoors Gorilla Cake has a flowering time 8-9 weeks once placed into a 12/12 light and dark routine. Later in flower a good filtration system is recommended due to the strong sweet smelling aromas these plants give off. Plants will do well outdoors and given plenty of veg time will grow to be quite large, for outdoor growers in coole
