If you managed your way through the vegetative stage successfully, it’s now time to switch your lights to 12 hours and enter the blooming phase. In this article, we’ll give you some general guidance and tips for a successful flowering.
During the vegetative phase, you can use techniques that will maximize yield for a given limited space. You might have heard of ScroG or SoG before. But what does that mean? What’s the difference between these two techniques? This is what we’ll cover in this article…
You have successfully germinated your seeds and are now seeing new leaves developing on your plant. You officially entered the vegetative, or commonly called “growth” phase. In this article, we’ll give you some general guidance and tips to ensure your plants develop well before the blooming phase.
When looking for genetics on Strainly, you might have noticed the filter “Flowering”. In addition of the flowering time ranges, a there’s an option called “Auto-Flowering”… What does that mean? How do Auto-Flowering strains differ from others? This is what we’ll cover in the below article…
We recently added a useful filter to more precisely search genetics on Strainly. It’s called “Varietal type” and is meant to capture (and filter by) the type of varietal listed on Strainly. By “Varietal type” we mean the way the varietal was born/created. When breeding, different approaches are possible, whether mother nature is in command or humans get involved… But what are these varietal types? This is what we’ll cover in the below article…
Canna-biodiversity is a very important cause if you ask us at Strainly. In our Breeder’s Rights and the Preservation of Cannabis trilogy, we exposed the mechanisms potentially threatening this biodiversity and introduced alternative concepts, such as open source. In Open Source Breeding – Part 1, we explained the principles of collaborative economy and open innovation through copyleft. In this article we’ll give you tools to apply the theory.

You may have noticed, Strainly allows you to offer genetics under the form of tissue cultures. While seeds and clones have been quite common starting material among growers, micro propagation is fairly new in the cannabis world. What is “TC”? What type of benefits will it bring to propagation and cultivation? How tissue culture will impact the cannabis industry?… We’ll try to answer these questions, among others in this article…
Do we need to remind you? Our goal at Strainly is to foster the preservation of cannabis genetics and phenotypes with an inclusive community spirit. In our Breeder’s Rights and the Preservation of Cannabis trilogy, we exposed the mechanisms potentially threatening cannabis biodiversity and started exploring alternative approaches. In this article we’ll get even more concrete about the ways to prevent corporate takeover from happening.
We built Strainly as a Progressive Web App (PWA) from the get go. A PWA is an app that works on your web browser. Building a PWA allowed us to save on development costs while giving a great experience on Apple and Android devices. It’s also immune to deplateforming/censorship by App stores… Finally, it does not take any space on devices, which allows people with old devices featuring limited storage and outdate operating systems to use Strainly anyway. This article gives you tips to get the most out of Strainly, just like any app you download from app stores.
Strainly‘s goal is to foster the preservation of cannabis genetics and phenotypes with an inclusive community spirit. Breeding is the manifestation of passion, creativity and hard work. Breeders should find achievement and reward in playing a key role in the conservation and evolution of the plant. Cannabis Intellectual Property is becoming a sensitive topic among breeders. This is the last part of our Breeder’s Rights and the Preservation of Cannabis trilogy, where we try to envision the possible approaches to cannabis breeding.
