Rankings put the strains you have tried or own in order. The order comes from the picks you make when you compare strains.
Before you start
- Sign in.
- Tag at least 3 strains as Tasted or Have it. Until then, you see “Tag 3 strains as Tasted or Have it to start.” Only these two tags count toward rankings. The Want tag does not.
- You may see a limit message when you use ranking features.
Tag a strain
- Open the strain page. See How to read a strain page.
- Tap Collection to open the collection sheet.
- Tap Tasted or Have it.
