CBD

Cannabidiol is a cannabinoid distinct from THC. Product claims and clinical evidence must be evaluated separately.

Read it in context

A measured compound profile belongs to a tested sample. Associations, aroma descriptors and traditional labels do not establish clinical effects.

Blue Dream

Blue Dream is a California-associated hybrid whose reported family joins Blueberry and Haze. Leafly lists berry and sweet flavor descriptors and a myrcene-led terpene profile. Those two kinds of information serve different purposes: flavor tags describe reader impressions, while the terpene list summarizes the source's chemistry data. Neither identifies a particular sample. This entry retains the reported cross without treating it as genetically authenticated parentage.

OG Kush

OG Kush is a hybrid name central to several later catalog families, including GSC and Headband. Leafly describes a Florida-to-California history but qualifies the proposed early cross rather than documenting a settled pedigree. Its listed aroma descriptors include wood, pine and earth, while its chemistry section names myrcene, limonene and caryophyllene. The uncertain origin story is retained as an attributed account; a shared OG name does not establish identical ancestry or chemistry.

Gelato

Gelato belongs to the family that Leafly traces to Sunset Sherbet and Thin Mint GSC. The source also uses Larry Bird and Gelato #42, and distinguishes other numbered Gelato selections. This makes the exact name important when comparing records: the broad Gelato entry should not silently absorb every numbered selection. Sweet, floral and pepper descriptors on the profile are reader-reported tags, separate from the source's caryophyllene, limonene and humulene listing.

Sour Diesel

Sour Diesel, also called Sour D, is a catalog name associated with fuel-like aroma descriptions. Leafly currently labels the entry hybrid and reports Chemdawg and Super Skunk as parents. Its listed reader tags include diesel, chemical and skunk; these describe impressions rather than measured ingredients. The same source also uses sativa language in its review summary, so category wording should be read cautiously rather than used to settle ancestry or predict an individual's response.

indica05
Granddaddy Purple

Granddaddy Purple, often shortened to GDP, is associated in Leafly's account with Ken Estes and 2003. Its pedigree is less settled than that familiar name suggests: the source presents both a Mendo Purps/Skunk/Afghan account and a Big Bud × Purple Urkle account. This profile keeps that disagreement visible. Grape, berry and violet are reported flavor descriptors, not evidence that either proposed family tree has been confirmed.

hybrid06
AK-47

AK-47 is described by Leafly as a hybrid with Colombian, Mexican, Thai and Afghan ancestry. That four-region summary does not specify the order of crosses or an immediate parent pair. Serious Seeds' own history connects AK-47 with Simon's work before the company's founding in 1995. This adds a breeder account to the catalog context without certifying every later AK-47-labelled sample. Skunk, tobacco and earth remain reported flavor descriptors rather than evidence of pedigree.

Bubba Kush

Bubba Kush is an indica-classified name with an explicitly uncertain pedigree in Leafly's account. The source describes OG Kush pollinating a plant called Bubba, whose identity was not established; Northern Lights is presented as a possibility rather than a confirmed parent. Coffee, earthy and pungent are reader flavor tags on the profile. Those impressions and the plant's appearance cannot resolve the unknown parent's identity, so the uncertainty remains part of the family record.

sativa08
Haze

Haze is a broad sativa-associated family that Leafly places in Santa Cruz in the 1960s. Its account names Colombian, Mexican, Thai and South Indian ancestry without defining a complete sequence of crosses. The profile's spicy or herbal, tobacco and earthy tags describe reader impressions. This family-level history is useful when exploring descendants, but the word Haze in another strain's name is not enough to prove a direct parent relationship or identical chemistry.

Afghani

Afghani is a regional cannabis name associated with Afghanistan and appears in many reported family histories. A regional name can cover varied material, so this profile does not imply one uniform genetic or chemical sample.
