How CannaForge lineage records work

A lineage record on CannaForge is the canonical reference for a single cannabis cultivar. Each record carries: strain name + aliases, parent lineage, child crosses, breeder attribution (originator + collaborators), seed type, generation (F1, F2, BX, S1), genetic family, landrace/heirloom/preservation flags, and a verification status.

Records persist beyond listings. Even when a breeder pulls their stock or a cut goes archival, the lineage record stays — preserving attribution and historical accuracy for future collectors and researchers.

Every record links into the wider graph: parent records, child records, sibling crosses (other crosses with the same parents), family hubs (Kush, Haze, OG, etc.), and breeder catalog pages. Follow any link and you can navigate the entire genetics relationship structure.

This is the long-term moat of the platform. Cannabis genetics historically have been preserved through forum posts, breeder memory, and paper notes. CannaForge's goal is to become the canonical relational database for the entire field.
