Chemotype genetics-true
Chemotype
Type III
CBD-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.

San Bacio Gelato by Humboldt Seed Organization is the renewal of one of the most iconic and celebrated strains in the California and now global cannabis market. The famous, highly-guarded and uncirculated elite clone Bacio Gelato x 3 Kings Blueberry Headband. A must-have California icon
From a legendary breeder in the California cannabis industry
San Bacio Gelato boasts a hardy and vigorous vegetative growth while maintaining a more compact structure supported by Indica-dominant fan leaves. Strong and prominent lateral branching creates very even bud development. Dense bud formation results in great flower production into secondary and third layers of canopy. Plants are highly resinous during the final weeks of the flowering period. The extremely complex terpene profile is expressed by sharp berry tones with cinnamon and spicy black pepper, accompanied by lemon peel and earthy pinewood undernotes. An absolute must for any collection from one of the most legendary breeders in the California cannabis industry. A strain full of life
