CannaLib desk

Browse strains, mediums, nutrients and lights; the three strain tiers and how to read provenance. In 9.8.9 CannaLib opens from the More button (Twin, CannaLib, Logs) or from the Plants segment of Spaces.

The strain record breeders would build if they had the time: 143,611 strains, 118,039 family-tree links, 1,194 sources, all cited. See it at cannalib.org.

Use this desk to look up a strain, light, medium or nutrient and to start a plant from a strain (see Using the desk below). CannaLib is the strain catalog behind Compose, the Want bands and the stage model. Lights on this desk are read from DSC-KitLib, and mediums and nutrients from DSC-NuteLib: the kit's local product libraries (Settings › Integrations › Libraries).

• Strains: format (photoperiod or auto), flowering time, climate and root targets per stage, media and feed hints, and upstream images only when the source has them.
• Lights (DSC-KitLib): fixtures with nameplate watts, spectrum, maker PPFD maps and recommended hang heights. A map the library has not transcribed yet says so instead of drawing one.
• Mediums and Nutrients (DSC-NuteLib): media by composition; nutrients by brand, category, dose and stage, with a chemistry tier tag.
• Equipment (DSC-KitLib) and feed charts (DSC-NuteLib) have no tab here. Equipment appears where a device is bound to a product, with the maker's ratings (Settings › Light › Devices in each space); feed charts appear in the Mix panel on Root.

The tiers are for strains. A stock SD image carries the curated set and whatever the kit has looked up; the full catalogue is looked up online, and a local copy can be installed on the kit for fully offline use. Library records are always local and carry the source kitlib or nutelib. Every strain and fixture record carries a source tag. The brain refreshes roster strains and bound fixtures on boot, every 6 hours and on roster or fixture edits, and keeps the last-known values through an outage.

• Pick a tab (Strains, Mediums, Nutrients, Lights) and search by name. Strains filter by Type, Format and Seed bank / breeder.
• Pick an item for its details; fields without data stay blank. A strain shows type, breeder, temperature and RH, height, flowering, THC and lineage, with images only when the source has a licensed one. Use in Compose starts a plant from it; Add compare sets up to three side by side.
• Runs in DSC-HUB under a strain lists its plants on the roster (zone, sprouted, days, stage, VPD in band over the last 24 h) and its harvested runs from their run reports: date, dry grams, g/m², flip → harvest days, grade and g/W.

Settings › Integrations › CannaLib in the grow shows, per plant and per fixture, which tier supplied the record, when, and a Refresh button.
