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 San Francisco Sour Dough
Also known as SanFran Sour D, Top Shelf Elite’s Bay Area Cookies hybrid excels in taste, aroma, potency and bag appeal. San Francisco is known for being the home of the cookies strain and the Sour Gelato, another local Girl Scout Cookies hybrid, Top Shelf Elite worked with on; this cuts beautifully through the sweet and fruity notes, enhancing the pine and fuel of the Phantom Cookies and Chemdawg. Spectacular branching and multiple flowering sites ensure a great harvest, with a final height of around 2 meters. Flecks of purple and gold on tight chunky buds contain an expertly crafted cocktail of terpenes that make this cookie cut the mother of all Girl Scouts and overall an absolutely breathtaking plant!
