Short video about the update:

Explore Your Favorite Strains Like Never Before!

We’re thrilled to announce the latest update to our platform, designed to make discovering and learning about strains easier, more visual, and more informative than ever.

Key Info at a Glance

One of the first things you’ll notice is a new scale right under the strain properties, showing the average THC content. On top of that, we’ve added a visual representation of the strain’s effects, making it simple to get key information about a desired strain at a single glance.

The New Gallery Tab

Next, you’ll see a brand-new “Gallery” tab next to the “Harvest” tab, where you can explore all the photos related to the strain. It’s a fantastic way to get a closer look at the strains you love, uploaded by real Grow Diaries users.

Expanded Genetic Tree

But the main highlight of this update is our expanded strain family tree. You can now view the parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents of a desired strain, giving you deep insight into its genetics and the origins of its traits—going back three generations. 

This feature not only keeps you better informed about a strain but also provides a broader understanding of why a specific strain looks the way it does, tastes the way it does, and produces the effects it does

Strain Recommendations

Beneath that, you’ll find suggestions of other strains created with your chosen genetics, making it easy to discover alternatives that might suit your preferences or help you find a new strain that could become your next favorite.

Compare Similar Strains

We’ve also introduced a new comparison chart that lets you evaluate the original strain alongside suggested alternatives that share similar traits.

This chart provides detailed information on each strain’s type, THC content, effects, and dominant terpenes, giving you the insights needed to make confident, informed decisions before choosing the next strain that will go into your garden.

We would love to hear your feedback in the comments. Go ahead and hit that comment button! Happy growing!

@DuschkabinenGrow, When you say product tab - do you mean the one that's on the screenshot? We have some of the original breeders set, but we still have lots of work to do on this.

@GrowDiaries, dont pay attention, that person attacked not one brand and not one person. Bully by nature, coward by behavior ...

@growdiaries can you sort your new notifications, i get 5 years old info. All new ones ( before update) are gone ( i had like 20 unseen, had no time to check ) ... Its good to get notified, when your answer is selected, hopefully likes worth/accounting is sorted too, if you went that path ( sorting question section )... Getting notifications about other people updates is stupid, 2x info, or remake layout. I see from my follow list if there is any updates from people i follow already, so what for this option ??? ... Just got notification, that someone liked my video, but cant even see which one ... Some work should be done to tune up...

@Natrona, they are testing app now, that glitch they knew. Even if you seen that diary, notification clears up only if you go to www version of diary, here same mistake ... i know , now they monitor even comment section, so they will see our remarks. Alternatively we can leave all remarks at growdiaries.com/contact section. I think, here healthy discussion helps more, than just a ticket in info@growdiaries.com ...

Please bring back the old notification system the current one is quite confusing and makes it hard to follow updates. Also, I can no longer see when I receive likes…

@valiotoro, look at "For you" tab vs followers
GrowDiaries
GrowDiariescommented5h ago
@valiotoro, Hey, thanks for your feedback on this. We are working on improving the new notification system and make it as user friendly as possible. Likes should be back by now. And (as @Natrona wrote) now it's separated by "For you" (where you can people's reaction on your diaries/comments) and "Following" where we've grouped all the updates from the diaries/users/brands grower follows& If you have ideas on how it can be improved - please share. Have a great day!

Cool update. Would like to get our strains listed in that database as well. Thank you.

I really like the updates. One thing that bothers me is that the name of the breeder name isn't visible on the products tab (but it is visible on the scrollable product overview on the main page of the genetic)

Looks great! 👍 Where does the info of the THC-level come from? 👋
GrowDiaries
GrowDiariescommented5h ago
@Doofy, Thanks! It depend on every strain. Sometimes we take the info from the producer, sometimes from the seedbanks. Obviously it's not 100% but should be in the realistic range.

Please make a Myspace type "top 8/10/12" of whatever strains I want to show on my main "info" page. Also, add a ticket box or something where users can ask to get new strains added. Because I've prob grown maybe 6 or 7 strains that were not listed on this site, despite being listed on breeder pages, ect
GrowDiaries
GrowDiariescommented5h ago
@Dabking, I remember MySpace but do not really remember the details of how it was there. Could you share some details of your idea please? Regarding the second point - yes, the breeders page has more strains at the moment. We are working on growing the number of strains in the strains section and it takes time. But we'll get there. In case you would like some strains to be added to the strains section - write them here or send them through support. We will take a look. Thanks for your feedback!
