Cannabis strain families & lineage groups
Cookies, Kush, Haze, Diesel, OG, Chem, Skunk, Gelato, Purple, and Glue — every strain in the Lockbox library mapped to its genetic ancestors. Overlap between families is expected: Wedding Cake lives in both Cookies and Gelato because it descends from both lines.

02 · Method
How a strain enters a family
Three signals are checked for every strain. Hitting any one places it in the family. Because cannabis is a polyhybrid crop, most modern strains hit more than one — that overlap is intentional and useful.
03
01
Family tag
Manual family classification on the strain record, set when documented breeder copy or lineage research explicitly names the family.
02
Parent strain names
We walk every parent named in the lineage and match against the family anchor strains — e.g. a strain with OG Kush in its lineage hits both OG and Kush.
03
Anchor word in the name
The strain's own name carries an anchor word like Kush, Haze, Diesel, Cookies, Skunk, or Glue — a strong signal even when explicit lineage is incomplete.
