About

Budvocate is for anyone with a cannabis question. Where did this strain come from, and what's it related to? What should you look for in a piece of gear? Why are your plant's leaves turning yellow? We answer those in one place, in plain language, with plenty to dig into after.

Our strain library links thousands of profiles by their reported genetics. Trace a family tree back to its ancestors, or forward to the strains bred from it. Along the way you'll find aromas and reported effects, plus growing traits and lab results where we have them."

Beyond strains, there are grow guides, Leaf Doctor, product reviews, cannabis news, state law pages and a glossary that keeps getting bigger. Whether you're learning the lingo or chasing down a specific problem, you'll get the answer and the reasoning behind it.

Cannabis info is messy. Names overlap, origin stories get disputed, and results vary. We don't hide that. We mark what's reported lineage and what's been verified, put sources right next to the claims they back up, and when we don't know something, we say so.

Budvocate keeps growing, and it gets better every time someone sends a correction, shares what they know or tells us what they've seen firsthand. Come back whenever you've got a new question.
