Cultivar Name, Product Name, and Chemovar
Taxonomy Matrix
| Level | Definition | Entity Scope | Factual Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Genetic Cultivar | Botanical lineage and breeder history | Overview / Index | First-party breeder documentation |
| Producer Product | Commercial packaged offering sold by a licensed producer | Packaging / Brand | Licensee product registration |
| Batch Chemovar | Measured quantitative chemical composition of a specific lot | Factual Data Node | Laboratory Certificate of Analysis (COA) |
Key Technical Distinctions
- Cultivar vs Chemovar: A cultivar (e.g. Blue Dream) represents a genetic family, not a static chemical formula. The exact chemovar (terpene percentages and cannabinoid ratios) varies across environment, nutrition, harvest time, and curing methods.
- Indica/Sativa Labels: Botanical morphology descriptors (indica broad-leaf vs sativa narrow-leaf) do not correlate reliably with chemical composition or pharmacological response.
- Data Integrity Standard: In the Thermal Extraction Devices archive, batch COA quantitative measurements serve as the single factual source of record.
