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 Southwest Cookies
We have always enjoyed a good "Cookies" strain over the years even when the hype helped seemingly become its own worst enemy. The Girl Crush we chose for this cross embodies the best parts from the Cookies lineage bred straght out of Northern California by Twenty20Mendocino and crossed with
Ketosis to create a doughy gassy masterpiece that will surely make a name for itself in the future. The quality and care that was put into the Girl Crush shows itself in volumes being very hardy with a nice yield and magnificent bag appeal.
The taste and aromas will remind you of classic GSC with a slightly sweeter twist that doesn't involve any fruitiness but more akin to vanilla or caramel. Both Ketosis and Girl Crush are known to provide excellent medicinal benefits for things like chronic pain, nausea, and appetite loss
