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 Gorilla Candy
Gorilla Candy, a new and exciting cannabis variety from Eva Seeds, an Indica dominated hybrid forming very resinous heads, rich in terpenes and cannabinoids. Now available online at Alchimiaweb as feminized seeds! Combining the famously resinous Gorilla Glue #4 with Papa's Candy, Gorilla Candy perfectly blends the characteristics of these two lines, giving plants easy to grow and the fast and abundant flowering, offering first quality crops. Really fast to finish flowering, Gorilla Candy flowers will be mature in just 45 to 55 days, producing generous harvests of dense and compact buds, tinted white with the thick layer of resin covering them and giving off a floral and spicy aroma on a soft and earthy background. Its impressive trichome production and complex terpene profile make Gorilla Candy a very good choice for making any kind of cannabis concentrate. Its effect when consumed is intense and relaxing thanks to its high levels of THC. Eva Seeds Gorilla Candy info: Feminized seeds
