Cannabis Strain Encyclopedia

#34

aka Number 34, Thirty-Four

Wedding Cake x Undisclosed (Prime Cuts exclusive)

#34 was bred in-house by Prime Cuts Nursery. A cross between Wedding Cake and an undisclosed Prime Cuts exclusive, it produces dense purple fruit-shaped buds with exceptional frost coverage and heavy yields. Finishes faster than its Wedding Cake parent at 7–8 weeks with a candy-grape-gas terpene profile.

Apple Fritter

Sour Apple x Animal Cookies

Apple Fritter sits at the intersection of the Diesel and Cookies genetic families. Known for its unmistakable sweet apple pastry aroma and potent, well-rounded effects, it has spawned over 210 documented descendants. It is a clone-only variety — the breeder has stated publicly that there are 'absolutely no collaborative seed projects' with anyone. Seeds sold under the name by third parties are reproductions.

Banana Ice Pop

aka BIP

Banana Ice Pop x Indigo

Banana Ice Pop is a flavorful indica-dominant hybrid combining banana-cream terpene genetics rooted in OrgnKid's original Banana OG lineage with Indigo's deep purple coloration and structural vigor. The banana impression comes from a specific myrcene-to-limonene ratio of approximately 2:1 producing a creamy frozen-treat character. Exceptional tropical banana candy flavor with vivid purple coloring beneath extreme trichome coverage.

Biscotti

Gelato #25 x South Florida OG

Named after the Italian almond biscuit cookie, Biscotti delivers a dessert-forward flavor of sweet cookie dough with a fuel-and-pepper undercurrent inherited from its OG Kush heritage. It represents a cornerstone of the modern 'exotic' cannabis movement — the wave of visually striking, terpene-rich, high-THC cultivars that redefined top-shelf flower. The strain gained significant cultural traction through hip-hop, with artists including Migos referencing it in lyrics.

Blue Dream

Blueberry x Haze

Blue Dream is a sativa-dominant hybrid that became one of the most commercially successful cannabis strains in American history. Emerging from Santa Cruz, California around 2003, it consistently ranked among the top-selling cultivars in legal markets through the 2010s, at one point accounting for an estimated 10–15% of all flower sales in California. Its balanced profile of cerebral uplift and gentle body relaxation made it a defining strain of the modern cannabis era.

Caked Up Candy

Runtz x Caked Up Cherries

Caked Up Candy sits at the intersection of the Cookies/Gelato dessert family and the Cake/Cherry family. House-hunted by Prime Cuts Nursery from Relentless Genetics seeds, this cut was selected for its stunning sweet cakey Runtz flavor. The convergence of Runtz's candy-rainbow terpene character with Caked Up Cherries' funky cherry gas produces an exceptionally resinous, flavor-forward plant.

Cakemera #12

aka Cakemera

Truffle Cake x Chimera #2

Cakemera #12 strategically double-stacks White Truffle genetics — the legendary BeLeaf phenotype appears on BOTH sides through Truffle Cake (White Truffle x Pancakes) and Chimera #2 (White Truffle x The Creature). This genetic concentration drives extreme resin production, savory truffle terpene expression, and dense bud structure with minimal foliage. Incredibly frosty dense buds with a complex truffle-cake gas flavor.

Candiez

aka CandyZ

#34 x Zlurpee

Candiez is a modern dessert-forward hybrid marrying the gas-forward potency of Compound Genetics' proprietary #34 selection with the rainbow-candy terpenes of Prime Cuts Nursery's Zlurpee (Z3 x Purple Punch). Testing at 33%+ THC with a bright candy-fuel terpene profile, it sits squarely in the candy-gas wave dominating top-shelf menus from 2023–2026.

Cereal Milk

Y Life x Snowman

Known for its dessert-like flavor recalling the sweet milk left at the bottom of a bowl of sugary cereal, Cereal Milk is a sister phenotype to Gary Payton — same parents, radically different expression. Where Gary Payton went gassy and aggressive, Cereal Milk went sweet and creamy. Girl Scout Cookies appears on both sides of the cross, making it deeply rooted in the Cookies family.

Cobra Chi

aka Cobra Chi #9

Margwa #1 x Chimera #3

Cobra Chi #9 is a match made in heaven — the terp profile is caramel cream like flan or panna cotta, icy as can be with very large yield potential. Double-Creature influence gives trichome production that borders on absurd, while Chimera #3 delivers structure, density, and minimal foliage. Finishes in just 8 weeks.

Donkey Kong

GG#4 x Undisclosed

Based on the legendary Gorilla Glue #4, Donkey Kong is a powerful sativa-dominant hybrid known for incredible resin production and high THC content. The buds are absolutely caked in trichomes with massive yields. The undisclosed parent contributes sativa-dominant structure, enhanced lateral branching, and chocolate terpene amplification.

Gary Payton

The Y x Snowman

Named after the NBA Hall of Famer whose #20 jersey matched phenotype #20 from the original seed pop, Gary Payton is one of the rare true 50/50 hybrids where the balance plays out in real time. The basketball-connected breeding crew struck a licensing deal with the real Gary Payton through Bay Area connections. Its sister phenotype from the same cross is Cereal Milk — same parents, radically different expressions.

Gelato

aka Larry Bird, Gelato #33

Sunset Sherbet x Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies

Gelato #33, widely known as 'Larry Bird' after the NBA legend's jersey number, is the most celebrated phenotype of the Gelato line and one of the most genetically influential cannabis cultivars of the past decade. Because Sunset Sherbet is itself a GSC descendant, Gelato is effectively a GSC x GSC cross — the cookie lineage refined and concentrated. Its dessert-forward profile earned it the tag that defined an entire era of cannabis breeding.

GG4

aka Gorilla Glue #4, Original Glue, GG#4

(Sour Dubb x Chem's Sister) x Chocolate Diesel

GG4 is renowned for extreme resin production, pungent diesel-chocolate aromatics, and heavy-hitting potency. Created accidentally through a hermaphrodite pollination event, it became one of the most awarded strains of the 2010s. High Times named it 'the most powerful strain on Earth' in 2014. Both co-creators have since passed: Joesy Whales died in 2020 and Lone Watty in 2021.

Girl Scout Cookies

aka GSC, Cookies

OG Kush (Flo Rida cut) x F1 Durban

Girl Scout Cookies is the strain that launched the modern Cookies empire and helped define an entire category of cannabis genetics. Developed in San Francisco's Sunset District around 2007–2008, it was the first strain to be aggressively marketed through social media, pioneering the intersection of cannabis branding and lifestyle marketing. Its genetic influence on modern cannabis is arguably second only to OG Kush.

Granddaddy Purple

aka GDP, Grand Daddy Purp, Granddaddy Purps

Purple Urkle x Big Bud

Granddaddy Purple helped define the commercial 'purple era' of California cannabis. Popularized in 2003, it is renowned for its striking deep purple buds, complex grape-berry aroma, and potent full-body sedation. Its effects are often described as feeling stronger than its THC percentage suggests, likely due to the myrcene-linalool synergy. GDP is widely credited with demonstrating that visual appeal could be a defining commercial trait.

Ice Cream Cake

aka ICC

Wedding Cake x Gelato #33

Ice Cream Cake is renowned for its exceptionally creamy, dessert-forward terpene profile and deeply relaxing physical effects. Its rise is notable for being extract-community-driven — solventless rosin quality built ICC's reputation before mainstream flower sales followed. As a double descendant of the Cookies family (through both Wedding Cake and Gelato), it represents the concentrated refinement of modern dessert genetics.

Jack Herer

Haze x Northern Lights #5 x Skunk #1

Named after the legendary cannabis activist and author of The Emperor Wears No Clothes, Jack Herer holds the all-time record of 14 Cannabis Cup wins. Released in 1994, it was approved as a recognized medical-grade strain by Dutch pharmacies — a rare distinction. Ben Dronkers has publicly stated it is his all-time favorite strain. Jack Herer is one of very few widely available strains where terpinolene is the dominant terpene.

King Louis OG

aka King Louis XIII, Louis XIII Kush, King Louie

OG Kush x LA Confidential

King Louis OG is a legendary indica-dominant hybrid that has reigned as one of Southern California's most revered cultivars since the early 2000s. Named after the French monarch, this strain rules the indica world with deeply sedating effects, extraordinary resin production, and a pungent gas-and-pine aroma that announces its presence from across the room.

Lemon Cherry Gelato

aka LCG, Lemon Cherry

Girl Scout Cookies x Sunset Sherbert x Unknown

Lemon Cherry Gelato is one of the most hyped and commercially dominant strains to emerge in the 2022–2024 cannabis market, commanding premium pricing and top-shelf placement. It delivers extraordinary bag appeal with dense, purple-hued buds blanketed in trichomes, paired with a complex candy-lemon-fuel terpene profile that is instantly recognizable.

Lemon Mash

Tree Flip x Garlic Lemon

Lemon Mash is a proprietary sativa-dominant hybrid bred by Rasta Cruz Farms and exclusively distributed by Prime Cuts Nursery. It carries double Lemon Tree genetics — Lemon Tree on both sides of the pedigree — explaining its overwhelmingly citrus-forward profile, while GMO genetics provide the savory garlic counterpoint.

London Truffle

White Truffle x London Pound Cake

London Truffle fuses the exotic earthy funk of White Truffle with the sweet grape-dough richness of London Pound Cake. Pushing past 30% THC with an unmistakable truffle-dough-gas terpene profile, it produces dense, heavily frosted buds with deep purple coloration — a premium bag-appeal strain for connoisseurs.

MAC 1

aka Miracle Alien Cookies, The MAC, Cap's Cut

Alien Cookies F2 x Miracle 15

MAC 1 is one of the most celebrated balanced hybrid strains in modern cannabis, bred by the reclusive Los Angeles breeder Capulator in 2015 from an improbable origin story — a male plant (Miracle 15) that survived an accidental trip through a washing machine. Its near-white trichome coverage, creamy citrus-diesel aroma, and genuinely versatile effects have made it a dispensary staple. MAC 1 was Leaflink's best-selling flower in California in 2019 and has spawned over 63 documented descendant crosses.

Menage

Undisclosed

Menage is a heavy-hitting hybrid with a fruity gas terpene profile producing dense, frosty buds with exceptional bag appeal. The 8-week flower time is notably efficient for a strain producing this level of resin density and THC concentration, suggesting aggressive selection for both potency and commercial viability.

Mimosa

aka Purple Mimosa

Clementine x Purple Punch F2

Named after the brunch cocktail for its bright citrus character, Mimosa delivers an uplifting, clear-headed experience balanced by gentle body relaxation from its indica parentage. Created in just a two-light setup in the back of a Sacramento dispensary, it became a phenomenon when Jungle Boys test-grew and popularized the genetics in LA. Often described as the ideal 'wake and bake' strain.

OG Kush

aka Ocean Grown Kush

Chemdawg 91 x Lemon Thai x Hindu Kush

OG Kush is widely regarded as the single most influential cultivar in modern cannabis, serving as the genetic backbone for hundreds of modern hybrids including Girl Scout Cookies, Gelato, and the broader Cookies family. It originated from an accidental pollination event in South Florida around 1991 and was brought to Los Angeles in 1996, where it redefined the standard for premium cannabis with its fuel-forward, resin-heavy profile.

Oklahoma Coma

Proprietary / Undisclosed

Oklahoma Coma is an absolute unit of a plant — a very large, very large producer with big fat buds, great node spacing, and strong branches everywhere. It smells like earthy turpentine and sweet kerosene. The wide node spacing is a critical commercial advantage, providing natural airflow channels even under heavy flower load — a rare trait for a heavy-yielding indica.

Oreoz Blizzard

aka Oreo Blizzard

Oreoz x Lemon Iccee

Oreoz Blizzard is an indica-dominant hybrid that crosses the award-winning Oreoz (Cookies N Cream x Secret Weapon) with Tiki Madman's proprietary Lemon Iccee (Lemon Mints x Icee Sherbert). The cross solves Oreoz's singular weakness — a muted nose — by layering sharp citrus terpenes from Lemon Iccee while retaining the legendary frost coverage, near-black coloration, and rock-hard density.

Pablo's Revenge

Animal Mints x Sherb Cake

Pablo's Revenge is a dessert-gas indica that marries Seed Junky's Animal Mints with the creamy sweetness and vivid coloration of Sherb Cake. It gained national prominence after earning 2nd place Indoor Flower at the 2022 Emerald Cup. Dense, rock-hard buds blanketed in trichomes display deep purples and sunset coloring with a floral gas over sweet mint terpene profile.

Permanent Chimera

aka Perm Chimera

Chimera #2 x Permanent Marker

Permanent Chimera is a strategic convergence of BeLeaf Cannabis' Chimera #2 (White Truffle x The Creature) and Seed Junky's Permanent Marker (Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb BX1). This cross stacks the caryophyllene-dominant glue backbone from both parents while layering berry/fruit sweetness and tropical terpenes. Grows squat in veg then more than doubles in flower with thick self-supporting branches.

Permanent Marker

aka PM, Adios MF

Biscotti x Jealousy x Sherb BX1

Named Leafly's 2023 Strain of the Year, Permanent Marker is renowned for its distinctive solvent-like, candy-gas aroma that genuinely mimics the smell of an open felt-tip marker. All three parents trace back to the Cookies/Gelato family, with Gelato appearing twice and Sherbet appearing twice — this concentrated pedigree drives the layered terpene expression. As of early 2026, it sits at #5 in national cannabis sales.

Prime Punch

Tropicana Punch x Purple Punch

Prime Punch effectively constitutes a Purple Punch backcross — Tropicana Punch is itself Tropicana Cookies x Purple Punch, yielding ~75% Purple Punch influence. Prime Cuts noted it 'came out much different than expected' — the 25% Tropicana Cookies contribution redirected the flavor from standard grape-candy toward brighter tropical fruit punch. 8-week flower on the dot with extremely frosty and uniform nugs.

Purple Porcelain

Undisclosed x Undisclosed

Purple Porcelain is a stunning indica-dominant strain with deep purple coloring and exceptional bag appeal. The buds display gorgeous purple hues throughout — not merely sugar leaves, but through the calyxes themselves — and deliver a sweet candy, deep gas, and fruity flavor profile. The purple expression is genetically fixed rather than environmentally induced, meaning consistent coloring across environments.

Purple Punch

Larry OG x Granddaddy Purple

Purple Punch is one of the most influential dessert-style cultivars of the modern era, prized for its grape candy aroma, dense resinous flowers, and heavy sedating effects. Its higher-than-average myrcene concentration is commonly cited as why it feels more sedating than its THC percentage suggests. It became one of the most prolific breeding parents in modern cannabis, with over 360 documented descendants.

Runtz

Zkittlez x Gelato #33

Runtz is a balanced hybrid born from two of the most decorated strains of the 2010s. It delivers a candy-sweet terpene profile, dense trichome-coated buds, and a potent but functional high. Named after the fruit candy for its sweet flavor, it grew from an underground LA phenomenon to a national cultural force through social media marketing and deliberate scarcity.

SFV OG

aka San Fernando Valley OG, SFV OG Kush

OG Kush (San Fernando Valley phenotype)

SFV OG is one of the most influential OG Kush selections to emerge from Southern California, selected by breeder Swerve at The Cali Connection. Often called the 'daytime OG,' it delivers heavy resin production and potent effects without the total couch-lock of heavier indica cuts. Seedfinder.eu documents 56 direct descendants.

Sour Diesel

aka Sour D, ECSD, Sour Deez

Original Diesel (Chemdawg 91 x Super Skunk/NL) x DNL

Sour Diesel is a sativa-dominant hybrid that emerged from New York City's underground cannabis scene in the mid-1990s and became inseparable from the late-'90s hip-hop culture. Known for its unmistakable pungent, fuel-forward aroma and fast-acting cerebral effects, it remains a top-selling cultivar three decades after its creation. Its cultural impact exceeds its competition résumé — it defined an era and a region.

Stunna Runtz

Runtz x #1 Stunna F2

Stunna Runtz crosses iconic Runtz with Relentless Genetics' proprietary #1 Stunna F2 (Twisted Velvet x Rozay). Pheno-hunted by Prime Cuts Nursery, this selection solved the historic Runtz limitation of small bud size while retaining the candy nose, 29%+ THC, and balanced effects. Dense, uniform golf-ball nugs with deep purple coloring and heavy frost.

Tree Flip

Lemon Tree x Wedding Cake

Tree Flip is a precision selection from the Lemon Tree x Wedding Cake cross — a pairing validated across multiple breeding programs. It combines Lemon Tree's limonene-dominant citrus engine with Wedding Cake's extreme resin production and dessert-fuel aromatics, stacking two independent limonene-expressing lineages. Both parents carry Diesel-family genetics which converge as fuel and gas notes.

Tropicana Cherries

aka Trop Cherry

Tropicana Cookies x Cherry Cookies F3

Tropicana Cherries is Relentless Genetics' flagship sativa-dominant hybrid merging citrus terp explosion from Tropicana Cookies with cherry gas funk and extreme potency of their Cherry Cookies F3. The #8 phenotype won 1st Place at the 2022 Michigan Cannabis Cup with verified cuts trading at $500–$840 in secondary markets.

Wedding Cake

aka Triangle Mints #23, Pink Cookies

Triangle Kush x Animal Mints

Wedding Cake is a specific phenotype selection — pheno #23 — from the Triangle Mints breeding line. Named Leafly's Strain of the Year in 2019, it has become one of the most commercially significant cultivars of the modern era and a cornerstone parent in contemporary breeding programs. The Jungle Boys pheno-hunted the line and bestowed the name 'Wedding Cake' due to its unmistakable vanilla cake frosting aroma.

White Widow

aka Black Widow (Mr. Nice Seedbank)

Brazilian sativa landrace x South Indian indica (Kerala)

White Widow became one of the most recognized cannabis strains in the world after its 1994 debut. Named for the dense blanket of white trichomes coating its buds, it set a new standard for resin production and kicked off the 'White Family' of strains. Its unprecedented trichome density sparked an industry-wide race for frostier genetics. Its earthy, peppery 'old-school hash' character contrasts sharply with modern fruit-forward profiles.

Zkittlez

aka The Original Z, Skittles

Grape Ape x Grapefruit x undisclosed third strain

Zkittlez — now officially marketed as The Original Z following a 2023 trademark settlement with the Skittles candy manufacturer — is celebrated for its exceptionally high terpene concentration and candy-fruit flavor that redefined modern cannabis breeding. It proved that terpene profile could matter more than THC percentage, launching the 'candy strain' movement and inspiring an entire generation of fruit-forward cultivars.
