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 2026-09-16Concentrations 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.
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.
Regional origin ↗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.
Disputed parentage ↗
Hindu Kush takes its name from the mountain region spanning parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. This entry documents that regional background and the source's catalog traits without assigning an unsupported parent cross.
