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 70%Sativa 30%

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 Tomahawk

Type: Mostly Indica Flowering: 63 - 70 Days Height: Medium - Tall Area: Indoor & Outdoor Genetics: Gorilla Glue #4 x Star Dawg Get ready to be the most popular kid on the block all over again! With this cross of Gorilla Glue #4 from Josey Wales, to this Male Stardawg, there are sure to be many phenotypes worth keeping, depending if your leaning more towards GG4 or Star Dawg. Gorilla Glue # 4 is a cross of {(Sour Dubble x Chem Sis) x Chocolate Diesel}. Superb resin content, and spectacular bag appeal. When she's grown well and trimmed nicely, it looks like it was rolled in sugar! So many visible cloudy trichome heads that are sticky to the touch, hence her name. Her terpene profile is incredible as well. If I were to describe the GG4 aroma, it would have to down the lines of Soap/Detergent/Piney/Chem/Cocoa Butter. Slight nose tingle upon getting a big whiff. The room reeks of nothing but skunky weed when you crack open the jar. The flavor of Gorilla Glue is incredible. Rich/Creamy/Chem/Cacao with a slight hint of some diesel coming through on the back end. Alone, Gorilla Glue #4 test incredibly high in THC too. Might be a "1-Hitter Quitter" for the occasional cannabis consumer. She
