Has ILGM or anyone else created an encyclopedia or summary of weed strains? There must be hundreds… It would list the qualities and potentcy of each, including a listing of the strains’ parentage. I grew four strains this season, and they are remarkably different. ---

I use this website to research cannabis strains in addition to Leafly and Wikiweed > **[SeedFinder - Cannabis Strain Database](https://en.seedfinder.eu/database/)** > > SeedFinders Cannabis Strain Database. List, order and compare all Cannabis-Strains by breeder, flowering time, type, name or commercial availability. ---

OK! That’s exactly what I was looking for…though perhaps info overload! 🙂 I figured that with the continued legalization movement and so many folks growing, there had to be a database somewhere. It just took someone to do all the work. I note that it wasn’t from this country… While I have been smoking - and growing - weed for over a half century, I went to my first “cannafest” a few weeks back at a local grow shop. Here in VA, possession, use and growing (up to four plants) is legal, though retail sales still are not. Here were over two dozen vendors, each selling up to 20 strains, along with edibles, elixirs and even 'shrooms. I was like a kid in a candy store. But it’s still very much a cash economy… ---

I stand corrected… Not ‘hundreds’, but _thousands_. This might be the most highly hybridized plant on the planet… Better living through chemistry. ---

I found a site that has the lineage of every strain. Unfortunately I don’t remember the website. ---

Hi, I just joined this forum and have consistently used ILGM seeds. I have a time-sensitive strain question, but lack the credentials to create a new thread. Is it OK if I use this thread to post my question or can someone point me to a more suitable thread? ---
