CANNALIB · STATE OF THE CATALOGUE · 0.7.1-STDLIB · FROZEN 2026-09-29

What the catalogue holds, what it refuses, and what changed.

CannaLib's whole pitch is that it never invents a number, so this page does not either. Every figure below is a count from the database frozen on 29 September 2026 and published as API 0.7.1-stdlib. Each is labelled by what it counts. The figures that competitors would be tempted to use, and that we will not, are listed at the end.

● one page per freeze · permanent URL

143,611
Strains
named cultivars only; dispensary products, lab labels and listing titles are on a separate ledger

111,128
Alternate names

1,276,466
Lab test results
from named labs and state feeds, excluding moisture tests, placeholders and duplicated summaries

1,884
Products
867 nutrients, 321 mediums, 696 lights

The strain count fell from 223,819 in August to 143,611 because the database got stricter, not smaller: 120,822 names are now on a public ledger of product SKUs, lab sample codes, listing titles, forum thread titles and error pages, instead of being counted as strains.

DEPTH

Evidence, not entries.

Figure	Say it as
7,358,743	evidence-backed data points, each linked to the sentence it came from
92,344	strains in the main catalogue: cultivars with listings, lineage, grow or effect data
50,844	lab-tested product names, shown apart from cultivars
1,657,166	chemistry records on real strains, none flagged as unusable
66,483	strains with lab-tested chemistry
23,549	strains with a flower lab potency range from 3 or more samples
346,519	breeder and seed-bank listings
417,660	cultivation records: flowering, height, seed type, environment
119,095	grower notes and observations
261,996	heritage records: sativa, indica, origin
575,106	effect mentions, on 1,461 controlled effect terms. Mentions, not a taxonomy
279,187	flavour mentions, on 1,295 controlled flavour terms
76,393	strain pictures, shown with source and credit; copyright status labelled

COMPETITIONS AND AWARDS

Results with sources; claims with verdicts.

Figure	Say it as
21,141	competition results from 264 competitions in 61 countries, 1988 to 2026
1,092	competition editions
9,355	results matched to a strain, on 4,333 strains
4,826	award claims checked against the published results
1,599	claims confirmed; the rest are shown with their verdict, never as wins
6,093	competition photographs with source and credit

BREADTH

Where it comes from.

Figure	Say it as
1,194	sources: seed banks, breeders, directories, labs, competitions, research feeds
211	seed banks
6,124	breeders named on real strains
782	genotyped samples from Kannapedia
2,545	Open Cannabis Project samples matched to a strain
10,178	autoflower strains
7,164 / 3,378 / 6,989	strains named Kush / Haze / OG
2,519	CBD-named strains

LINEAGE

Recorded crosses, and how many sources agree.

Figure	Say it as
118,039	family-tree connections: parent to child links between real strains
58,446	strains in the family tree
45,283	strains with both parents recorded
19,248	strains whose parents two or more sources agree on
14,398	sub-varieties linked to their base (auto, F2, numbered)
169	phenotypes and cuts linked to their cultivar, such as The Forum cut to Girl Scout Cookies

Most-cited parents: OG Kush 1,631 · Blueberry 1,078 · Sour Diesel 892 · White Widow 805 · Girl Scout Cookies 787 · Afghani 746.

WHAT WE REFUSED

The counters competitors cannot say.

Honesty counters

10,163 strains whose THC is stated by 3 or more independent sources: corroborated, not scraped once; copies of one source count once. · 37,014 strains where sources disagree on THC and we show all of them. · 271,392 parent claims quarantined, not published. · 342,460 wrong or unusable records withdrawn but kept in a ledger; we never silently delete. · 250,314 chemistry rows flagged and never used as potency: moisture tests, placeholder values, pooled summaries. · 120,822 names kept on the product and label ledger. · 131,857 terpene values shown without a unit because no source states one. · 14,622 parent names we could not match yet, kept and not invented.

WHAT CHANGED SINCE THE LAST FREEZE

Five publishes, one direction.

0.4.0-stdlib · 17 Aug 2026 — 175,807 strains. The remade catalogue after the malformed file.
0.6.0-stdlib · 13 Sep 2026 — 258,889 strains. Recovery from the intact 16 August snapshot and identity landing; the count rose because real identities were recovered.
0.6.2-stdlib · 13 Sep 2026 — terpene repair, corroboration-first card pick.
0.7.0-stdlib · 14 Sep 2026 — 143,612 strains. The count fell because 119,307 product names moved to the ledger; competition results, checked award claims, credited pictures and the lineage graph ship with it.
0.7.1-stdlib · 29 Sep 2026 — 143,611 strains. 404,911 more lab test results from state lab records (Nevada, Washington, Hawaii, Michigan, Utah) and the Steep Hill chemotype set; 2,802 genotyped samples from four published datasets give 862 strains measured DNA relatives; 7,175 facts from books, magazines and papers; 1,514 misspelled duplicate names moved to the ledger instead of being counted.

NUMBERS WE WILL NOT USE

Tempting, and wrong.

Tempting figure	Why not
223,819 or 261,236 strains	the first counted product names; the second is every name in the database including 117,625 ledgered ones
12.8 million data points	includes page scaffolding and facts on ledgered names
1,414,927 or 1,824,589 lab or chemistry records	include moisture tests, placeholder values and pooled summaries
12,957 strains with THC agreed by 3+ sources	counted duplicate copies of the same source as independent
78,612 photos	general plant reference images, not cannabis cultivar photos
140,107 or 134,495 family-tree links	the first predates the lineage clean-up; the second includes links to unmatched or ledgered names
20,177 awards	predates the award claim check
any average THC, height or "typical" flowering time	we do not average across sources, so the site must not either
reviews	the corpus holds no review bodies; the source sites gate them behind logins

WHERE THE LIVE NUMBERS COME FROM

Two endpoints, no key.

GET https://api.cannalib.org/v1/corpus

GET https://api.cannalib.org/v1/catalogs/strains/blue%20dream

The first returns the counters, precomputed at each publish. The second returns a live example record with every claim and its sources. Everything on this page that is not in the corpus endpoint is a fixed figure from the 29 September 2026 freeze and is labelled as such.
