WeedWiki is a professionally curated encyclopedia dedicated to documenting cannabis strains from around the world. Our mission is to provide accurate, comprehensive, and unbiased information about cannabis varieties to cultivators, medical patients, researchers, and enthusiasts alike.
Whether you're exploring cannabis for the first time or you're a seasoned connoisseur, WeedWiki serves as your trusted resource for understanding the rich diversity of cannabis genetics, their effects, cultivation requirements, and cultural significance.
Cannabis is a remarkable plant with thousands of years of history and an incredible diversity of varieties. Each strain tells a story—of the regions where it originated, the breeders who developed it, and the communities that have preserved and shared it across generations.
WeedWiki believes that access to accurate information empowers better decisions. We approach each strain with the same level of care and detail, documenting everything from ancient landrace varieties that have remained unchanged for centuries to modern hybrids that represent the cutting edge of cannabis breeding.
Our content is written for real people, not algorithms. We avoid hype and marketing language in favor of honest, detailed descriptions based on documented genetics, cultivation experience, and user reports. When you read a WeedWiki page, you're getting information you can trust.
Every strain in our database receives the same thorough treatment. We document the complete story of each variety, including its genetic lineage, the history of its development, and the cultural context that makes it significant. You'll find detailed descriptions of appearance, aroma, flavor profiles, and the full spectrum of effects users can expect.
For cultivators, we provide practical growing information covering everything from basic difficulty levels to specific environmental requirements, flowering times, training techniques, and common challenges. This information comes from documented growing experiences and breeder specifications, giving you realistic expectations for your own cultivation efforts.
Medical patients will find clear information about therapeutic applications, effect profiles, and considerations for different conditions. We cover both the benefits and potential considerations of each strain without making medical claims or promises.
Our strains are organized into the three traditional categories that help users understand basic characteristics and effects.
Hybrid Strains represent the majority of modern cannabis, combining genetics from both indica and sativa varieties. These strains offer balanced or customized effect profiles, bringing together the best characteristics of their parent genetics. From legendary varieties like OG Kush that defined West Coast cannabis culture to modern sensations like Runtz that showcase contemporary breeding techniques, our hybrid collection covers both classic and cutting-edge genetics.
Indica Strains originated in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Hindu Kush range. These varieties are characterized by relaxing, sedating effects often described as a "body high." Indica genetics have given us some of the most therapeutic strains available, from ancient landraces like Hindu Kush to modern creations like Purple Punch. Whether you're seeking relief from pain and insomnia or simply want to unwind after a long day, our indica collection offers detailed information on varieties suited for evening and nighttime use.
Sativa Strains come from equatorial regions and are known for energizing, cerebral effects often called a "head high." From pure landrace varieties like Durban Poison to award-winning hybrids like Super Silver Haze, sativa genetics provide the foundation for strains that enhance creativity, focus, and social engagement. Our sativa pages document both the heritage varieties that have influenced modern breeding and the contemporary strains that continue to push boundaries.
Cannabis breeding has evolved dramatically over the past several decades. What started with cultivators preserving and sharing landrace varieties from different regions has grown into a sophisticated science of selecting and crossing genetics to achieve specific characteristics.
Landrace strains are varieties that developed naturally in specific geographic regions over hundreds or thousands of years. These pure genetics—like Hindu Kush from Afghanistan or Durban Poison from South Africa—represent the foundation of all modern cannabis. They've adapted to their native climates and carry unique characteristics that breeders still value today.
Modern hybrids combine these foundational genetics in countless ways, creating strains that might pair the relaxing properties of an indica with the mental clarity of a sativa, or blend flavor profiles from completely different lineages. Understanding a strain's genetic background helps predict its characteristics and explains why certain varieties produce particular effects or flavors.
Each strain page in WeedWiki traces these genetic connections, showing parent strains and notable descendants. This helps you understand not just what a strain is, but where it came from and what it has contributed to cannabis culture.
Cannabis has been used therapeutically for thousands of years, and modern varieties offer targeted relief for numerous conditions. WeedWiki provides detailed effect profiles and documented therapeutic applications for each strain, helping patients make informed decisions about their treatment options.
We document both the potential benefits and considerations of each strain, covering effects on pain, sleep, anxiety, appetite, nausea, and other common concerns. Our descriptions help patients understand what to expect from different varieties and how factors like dosage and consumption method might influence their experience.
Remember that cannabis affects everyone differently, and what works well for one person might not be ideal for another. WeedWiki provides information to guide your exploration, but always consult qualified healthcare professionals for medical advice.
Growing cannabis successfully requires understanding the specific needs and characteristics of each variety. WeedWiki provides detailed cultivation information for every strain, covering growing difficulty, ideal environments, plant structure, flowering times, and yields.
We document which strains are forgiving enough for beginners and which demand expert attention. You'll find information about indoor versus outdoor cultivation, climate preferences, training techniques, and common challenges. This practical growing knowledge helps you choose strains that match your skill level and growing conditions.
