THC

Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol is an intoxicating cannabinoid. Laboratory results apply to the tested sample, not every plant sold under one name.

Read it in context

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

hybrid01
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.

Wedding Cake

Wedding Cake is listed by Leafly as Triangle Mints #23, with Pink Cookies used as another regional name. Its reported cross connects Triangle Kush and Animal Mints. Vanilla, pepper and butter appear among the reader flavor tags, giving this profile more detail than its dessert-themed name alone. The catalog's cannabinoid values remain source summaries; the naming history and reported parent cross do not establish a fixed composition for everything sold under this name.

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.

GSC

GSC is the catalog entry also known as Girl Scout Cookies. Leafly attributes it to Jigga and describes an OG Kush subtype crossed with F1 Durban. That intermediate parent name matters: it should not automatically be replaced with Durban Poison. Thin Mint and Platinum GSC are discussed as related variations rather than interchangeable specimens. Mint, sweet and earthy reader tags help describe the catalog profile but do not authenticate its genetics.

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.

Durban Poison

Durban Poison takes its regional identity from Durban in South Africa according to Leafly. The catalog classifies it as sativa without supplying a named two-parent cross. Its displayed pine, earthy and sage descriptors are reader impressions, while terpinolene leads the separate terpene list. A geographic origin is useful historical context but does not by itself authenticate every later selection carrying the name or establish a fixed concentration of any cannabinoid.

Chemdawg

Chemdawg is linked by Leafly to the original Chemdog name and a 1991 bag-seed account attributed to breeder Chemdog. Finding seeds in acquired material explains a discovery story, not the identity of both parent plants. The source distinguishes Chem 91, Chem 4 and Chem Sis as variations, which should not be collapsed into interchangeable specimens. Chemical, diesel and pungent are reader descriptors; the names alone do not identify measured ingredients or authenticated genetics.

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.

Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express is a hybrid that Leafly traces to Trainwreck and Hawaiian. Pineapple, tropical and citrus are its displayed reader flavor tags. The source's terpene information needs more care: its summary table lists myrcene, caryophyllene and pinene, while the descriptive paragraph names caryophyllene, limonene and ocimene. This entry preserves the difference rather than combining both into a newly asserted chemical profile. A sample-specific analysis would be needed to establish actual composition.

Strawberry Cough

Strawberry Cough is a sativa-classified catalog entry whose source describes its origins as uncertain while proposing Haze and Strawberry Fields as a possible cross. The proposed relationship therefore remains an attributed hypothesis rather than settled ancestry. Strawberry, sweet and berry are displayed reader flavor tags. Neither the fruit name nor the word Cough is a test of chemical identity, a measure of safety or proof that another similarly named sample is the same plant.

Trainwreck

Trainwreck is associated by Leafly with Northern California and Mexican, Thai and Afghan ancestry. The source offers more than one story for its name rather than a single documented origin. Its summary classifies it as hybrid, while the narrative uses sativa language; these labels should not settle pedigree. Pine, earthy and woody are displayed reader tags, separate from a terpinolene-led catalog profile. The ancestry remains broader than an authenticated pair of immediate parents.

Northern Lights

Northern Lights is listed by Leafly as an indica with reported Afghani and Thai ancestry. Its history section treats the Seattle origin story as a rumor and describes later distribution through the Netherlands. That uncertainty is part of the record, not a missing detail to fill by guesswork. Pine, earth and wood appear in its reader flavor tags. Numbered selections such as Northern Lights #5 require their own provenance rather than automatic equivalence with this broader entry.

Jack Herer

Jack Herer is named after the author and cannabis activist. Leafly attributes its development to Sensi Seeds and describes a Haze hybrid combined with Northern Lights #5 and Shiva Skunk ancestry. The source acknowledges multiple phenotypes, which matters when interpreting the name as a single record. Its terpinolene-led catalog profile and pine, wood and earth flavor tags describe different evidence types, not a guarantee that every Jack Herer sample shares the same composition.

White Widow

White Widow is associated in Leafly's account with Dutch breeding in the 1990s and ancestry from Brazil and southern India. These regional descriptions are broader than named, authenticated parent plants. The profile's woody, earthy and floral reader tags sit alongside a myrcene-led catalog terpene listing. They describe the source's record rather than establish a universal sample profile. Historical breeder attribution and the exact ancestral material still need primary documentation.

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.

Blueberry

Blueberry, also called Berry Blue, is associated with DJ Short's work beginning in the late 1970s. Leafly describes Thai-related ancestry and notes that material passed between breeders and seed banks over time. This history is a reason to preserve source and selection details rather than assume all Blueberry records describe one identical plant. Blueberry, berry and sweet are reader flavor descriptors; the fruit name alone is not a chemical measurement or proof of parentage.

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.
