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

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.

Purple Punch

Purple Punch is reported as a cross between Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple. Its profile connects those two named parents and keeps reader-reported grape and plum notes separate from chemical reference values.

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.
