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 Lemon Gelato
We present Lemon Gelato by Elev8 Seeds, a feminised marijuana hybrid cross between Lemon Tree x Gelato33, two varieties with a high terpenes profile. Lemon Gelato ancestors
On one hand Lemon Tree, a cross between Lemon Skunk x Sour Diesel, an awarded variety at the 2014 High Times Cannabis Cup in San Francisco characterised by its powerful aromas and flavours that remind us of a lemon tree. It offers high THC levels of between 17-25% depending on the phenotype, with an effect initially euphoric and then more relaxing at the body level but leaving the mind clear. On the other hand Lemon Skunk, a well-known variety as a Skunk marijuana phenotype which offers a powerful lemon flavour. It is a plant easy to cultivate. It inherits Old School genes that produce a long-lasting euphoric, cheerful and psychedelic effect that progresses to relaxation, being ideal to combat stress and depression. Lemon Gelato cultivation
This encounter between flavour and potency titans produces a plant that develops vigorously with a bushy structure, the Lemon Tree strength and the Gelato colours. Lemon Gelato is an easy to cultivate variety, an Indica dominant hybrid that requires a balanced diet both indoo
