What Cannaid is not — where its guidance stops, and what you should never rely on it for.
Effective date: September 22, 2026
1. Read This First
Cannaid (cannaid.ai) is an educational and record-keeping tool for plant growers. This page states plainly what Cannaid is not, and what you should not rely on it for. It works together with our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.
2. AI Results Can Be Wrong
Our diagnosis tool reads your photo and survey answers with an AI model (Google's Gemini), and works out survey-only diagnoses with a rule-based engine. The AI assistant answers questions from our library first and, where the library has nothing, from the AI model's own general knowledge — and, when you share one, from your grow's journal. Their results are probabilistic suggestions, not verdicts:
- Many plant problems look alike — several nutrient deficiencies produce nearly identical leaf symptoms, and plants often have more than one problem at once.
- Photo quality, unusual lighting, uncommon strains, and early-stage symptoms all reduce accuracy.
- A confidence figure or word (such as Likely or Possible) reflects the model's own certainty — not the probability that the answer is right.
- Our models, and the AI models we use, change over time; the same input may give different results between versions.
- The assistant can misread a question, miss something in your journal, or say something wrong in a confident tone.
- When an answer draws on a page of our library, that page is usually linked under it. An answer with no links may come from the AI model's general knowledge — you can ask the assistant which.
Always verify a diagnosis with your own eyes and your own research before acting on it — especially before anything irreversible like aggressive treatment, heavy pruning, or discarding a plant.
3. Not Professional Advice
Everything on Cannaid — diagnosis results, the AI assistant's answers, the plant health library, articles, grow tips, strain and terpene information — is general educational information. It is not agricultural, horticultural, legal, medical, or financial advice, and it is not tailored to your specific situation. For decisions that matter, consult experienced growers or qualified professionals.
4. Cannabis Laws
Cannabis cultivation is illegal in many places and heavily regulated in most others. The fact that you can access Cannaid does not mean growing cannabis is legal where you are. Cannaid is intended for use where cultivation is lawful; it does not encourage, facilitate, or condone illegal cultivation. Knowing and complying with your local laws is entirely your responsibility, and we accept no liability for legal consequences of your cultivation decisions.
5. About Our Content
- Grow guidance is general. Articles, tips, and recommended ranges describe what works for typical plants in typical conditions — your strain, climate, and setup may differ.
- Strain data comes from breeders. Flowering times, yields, heights, and effect descriptions in the strain library are based on breeder-published information. Real plants vary by phenotype and growing conditions; treat these figures as expectations, not promises.
- We work to keep all content accurate and current, but we cannot guarantee it is free of errors or omissions.
6. Community Content
Posts in the forum — questions, answers, comments — are written by individual users and represent their opinions and experience, not ours. We do not verify user-submitted advice. Cross-check anything important against multiple sources before acting on it.
7. Third-Party Links and Images
Cannaid links to external sources (for example, breeder websites) and shows some third-party images — such as the public-domain molecule drawings on the terpene pages and images that forum members link in their posts. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of external sites, and a link is not an endorsement.
8. No Guarantees
Cannaid is a free service provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind — including accuracy of results, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted operation — to the extent permitted by law. The full liability terms, including the limits that mandatory consumer law places on them, are in our Terms of Service.
