Best cannabis strains by purpose
Documented groupings, not editor opinion. Each list runs a scoring function against the full catalogue and surfaces the strains whose recorded data fits the question — fastest finishers, biggest indoor yields, documented Cup wins, beginner-tolerant difficulty, and more.

Method
How these lists are built
Each list runs a documented scoring function against every strain in the catalogue and keeps the top entries whose score is greater than zero. The scoring inputs are spelled out at the bottom of each list page so the methodology is reproducible. As new strains and breeder data enter the library, the lists update automatically — the rankings are computed at build time rather than hand-curated.
Inputs
Difficulty, flowering window, yield, awards, terpene dominance, pest/mold resistance
