Stranzer shows the family tree of cannabis strains. Pick a strain to see where it came from: its parents, grandparents and beyond on the left, and every strain bred from it on the right. Tap any strain to move to it and keep exploring. READ A LINEAGE AT A GLANCE • Colors run from blue (indica) through gray (balanced hybrid) to red (sativa). • Rounded boxes mark landraces (strains that most modern strains trace back to). • A dotted line shows an ancestor that already appears elsewhere in the tree, so even complicated crosses stay readable. • Choose how many generations to show, from parents only up to six generations back. FIND STRAINS • Search from nearly 1,000 strains, curated from Seattle dispensary menus and public breeder databases. • Explore the whole collection on a zoomable strain map. MAKE IT YOURS • Favorite strains and keep notes on the ones you've tried. • Add strains or correct lineages. The same name can be a different plant from a different grower, and your local knowledge counts. Your changes are kept when the app updates. Stranzer is for information only. It doesn't sell anything, and it collects no data: everything stays on your device.
