Data Grinder: Stretching Trends
Cannabis strains, like rappers, are becoming increasingly popular. Every month is different. Data Grinder breaks it open.
● Ice cream 41 ⬆️ + 18%
● Strawberry cough ⬆️ + 6.6%
● Wedding cake +/- 0.0%
● Runtz ⬇️ -8%
Ice cream # 41
Win Thanksgiving with this all-American dessert that has increased search interest by 18% month over month thanks to its creamy, fruity and sweet mix of Sunset Sherbert x Thin Mint Cookies. Gelato # 41 comes from the breeder Jigga and the Cookies family. Combine it with some philosophical cartoons like The Midnight Gospel.
Strawberry cough
An oldie, but a Goldie makes new friends this month; 6.6% increased. Strawberries and hazy grass pens go great with a beach cleanup and your pals who are giggling all the time. Strawberry Cough is Strawberry Fields x Haze, from an unknown east coast breeder who was made famous by celebrity breeder Kyle Kushman.
wedding cake
Finish the evening off with a fat slice of America’s number one cake. The Leafly strain of 2019 was also number 1 in 2021, which doesn’t sprout an inch month after month. People have been talking and they want sweet, earthy vanilla biscuit roots plus chest-biting THC. Wedding cake can be either Animal Mints x Triangle Kush or GSC x Cherry Pie – it depends.
Runtz
The hype surrounding this 2020 strain of Leafly is cooling off a bit, but Runtz remains an excellent way to get zoomed in during some well-deserved downtime. Zkittlez x Gelato makes syrupy, sweet tropical fruit over a thick, moist, creamy biscuit – so yes, it’s good. Especially the award-winning ridgeline cut.
New in the master database and on the shelves
Every month Leafly adds dozens of the most searched for and most in-stock new varieties to its variety database. Here are four new heaters.
Zlushi

Carbon fiber
So completely disappear. Expect deep, horny cookie funk that ends with this new strain of grape potion.

ZMO
A Hall of Flowers’ Best in Show 2021 Tony Mendo and the team at The Original Z brought their Hindu-themed Zkittlez cross’ Z3 ‘to the hearty variety of the moment – GMO Cookies. The resulting ZMO keeps things sharp and pungent with that chem stench. Night is the right time for this classy, heavy indica hybrid splurge.
