Why the name spread

The Cup results gave the Green House line a concise public history. High Times says the consecutive 2008 and 2009 Amsterdam wins brought the name beyond its original setting, while Green House calls the line a hit when it joined the Cannabis Cup.^1,2

What the record does not establish

• No exact release date was found on the sources opened for this guide; the sourcing supports only a late-2000s breeding window.^1,2
• The awards do not prove that every flower product carrying the name shares one genotype. Weedmaps says the broader Lemon Haze name covers several lines with different genetics.⁵
• The later 2010–2013 awards are listed by Green House and partly recorded by SeedFinder, but their individual event records were not independently opened for this guide.^2,3
