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.
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.
Ancestry documented ↗
Cheese has roots in a British Skunk 1 selection. Leafly also describes later Afghani contributions, so these links represent family history rather than one universal cross.
Ancestry documented ↗
LA Confidential also appears under Confidential and Confidential OG. Leafly lists Afghani in its genetics section without establishing a complete two-parent pedigree.
