Afghan Kush
Afghan Kush is associated by Leafly with the Hindu Kush region near the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. The account also mentions later seed distribution by White Label. Geographic origin and a later supplier are different facts; neither is converted here into a specific two-parent cross.

Leafly — Lemon Kush identity and lineage ↗How to read these relationships
Parent links describe a reported cross. Ancestry components may be several generations back. A phenotype selection comes from a named line rather than a new two-parent cross. Disputed links retain the uncertainty of their source.
Names in this catalog open a strain profile. Other names open the reference describing the relationship. The family view shows the links currently documented here, not every known descendant.
Cannabinoid profile
Leafly catalog summary values, not laboratory results for a specific sample. A displayed 0% is a rounded source value, not proof of absence. Unlisted cannabinoids remain unknown.
Leafly source ↗ · Checked 2026-09-24Concentrations vary by sample. A cultivar name alone does not establish potency.
Terpenes & aroma
Catalog-listed terpenes. Dominance is shown only where the source states it; percentages are unavailable unless separately recorded.
Similar strains
Similarity uses catalog reference chemistry, reported attributes and lineage. Missing data is excluded; this is not an effects prediction.
Romulan is described by Leafly through White Rhino and North American Indica. The latter is a broad regional label rather than an authenticated accession. This page links the named White Rhino profile while retaining that unresolved regional parent, making the uncertainty visible in the family view.
Reported parentage ↗
Black Domina is described by Leafly using four family contributors: Northern Lights, Ortega, Hash Plant and Afghani. Those connections are shown as ancestry rather than implying a single four-parent mating. The source does not establish every intermediate generation.
Ancestry documented ↗
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.
