Create New Accession
Document landrace cannabis populations for long-term conservation.
⚠️ Read this before creating an accession
1. Search for existing entries first:
- Check if this population/field is already documented
- Use Search to look for location names, collector names, dates
- Avoid creating duplicates – it's better to add to an existing entry
2. Understand what makes a unique accession:
- Each accession = ONE collection event from ONE specific location on ONE date
- Same field, different years = different accessions
- Same year, different fields = different accessions
- General population vs specific plant selection = different accessions
3. Know your tier level (handled automatically in the form):
- Tier 1 (Essential): Minimum viable documentation – GPS, date, basic provenance
- Tier 2 (Enhanced): Scientific utility – botanical descriptions, cultural context
- Tier 3 (Research Grade): Publication-ready – lab results, comprehensive preservation
Naming convention (critical)
Use descriptive names that uniquely identify the collection:
✅ Recommended
- 2023 Atolang General Population
- 2024 Malana Village Selection #3
- Kut Bak 2022 November Collection
- Parvati Valley Point of Origin 2023
- Mae Hong Son Highland Seeds 2024-03
Why good: Specific location, year/date, collection type
❌ Avoid
- Thai Landrace
- Indian Strain
- Colombian
- Himalayan #2
- Local Variety
Why bad: Too generic, no date, no specific location, will cause duplicates

Documentation tiers
All accessions start at Tier 1. Extra fields in the form push them toward Tier 2 and Tier 3.
TIER 1 Essential field collection (≈ 46 fields)
Required for ANY accession:
- Accession ID (formal identifier)
- Collection date
- GPS coordinates + elevation
- Complete geographic hierarchy (country → province → locality)
- Growing region → Appellation → Field
- Collector name
- Collection method (seeds/cuttings/tissue)
- Sample size
- Traditional local name
- Classification (Landrace/Feral/Other)
- Basic conservation assessment
- Photo evidence (minimum: whole plant + inflorescences + habitat)
⚠️ If you don't have this minimum data, don't create the accession yet. Gather more information first.
TIER 2 Enhanced scientific documentation (≈ 98 additional fields)
Adds scientific utility:
- Detailed botanical descriptions (plant height, leaf shape, flowering traits)
- Environmental context (climate, soil, associated flora)
- Cultural uses and traditional practices
- Cultivation methods and farmer practices
- Detailed conservation threat assessments
- Extended photographic documentation
Complete when: Conducting research, writing reports, building comprehensive databases.
TIER 3 Research-grade documentation (≈ 83 additional fields)
Publication-ready with lab results:
- Complete cannabinoid profile (THC, CBD, CBG, CBN, CBC, THCV, CBDV)
- Complete terpene profile (10+ terpenes)
- Genetic analysis results
- Laboratory reports and dates
- Detailed preservation status (seed banks, tissue culture)
- Material transfer agreements
- Literature references and citations
- Complete research priorities
Complete when: Working with research institutions, publishing papers, or formal conservation programs.
Common mistakes to avoid
❌ Creating "placeholder" entries
Don't create an accession just because you heard about a location. Wait until you have actual samples and data.
❌ Using only generic location names
"Colombian Gold" or "Thai Stick" are not specific enough. You need: specific village/field + year + collector.
❌ Mixing multiple collection events
Each accession = one collection event. If you collected from the same field in 2023 and 2024, create two separate accessions.
❌ Skipping required Tier 1 fields
If you don't have GPS coordinates, collection date, or collector name, the entry is not valid. Gather this information before creating the accession.
❌ Creating duplicates instead of searching
ALWAYS search first. Multiple entries for the same collection creates chaos in the database.
Best practices when filling the form
✅ Fill out what you know, skip what you don't.
Don't guess or make up data.
✅ You can always add more later.
Start with Tier 1, then upgrade to Tier 2/3 as you gather more data.
✅ Use consistent formatting.
Dates as
YYYY-MM-DD, coordinates as decimal degrees.✅ Document your sources.
Record who you talked to and where information came from.
✅ Take photos in the field.
Photo documentation is crucial for verification.
✅ Preserve GPS metadata in photos.
Don't strip EXIF data from field photos.
