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.

03 / PLANT CHEMISTRY

Cannabinoid profile

CATALOG REFERENCE

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.

Concentrations 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.
