Lemon Cherry Gelato

Lemon Cherry Gelato is one of the few new-school hybrid bangers with a genetic lineage shrouded in a little bit of mystery. The first thing you'll read about most modern strains is where they came from, which isn't a bad thing at all, but it's at least somewhat refreshing to still have a little mystery around a top-shelf strain.

What we do know is that it is a three-way cross of Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies mixed with an unknown strain—the most likely culprit being Lemon Haze. Either way, those first two names should ring some alarm bells in all the right ways, and have resulted in one of the best hybrid strain offerings of the last five years.

What exactly makes Lemon Cherry Gelato so special?

• The Genetics - As mentioned before, Lemon Cherry Gelato is a three-way cross of Sunset Sherbet, Girl Scout Cookies, and an unknown strain. There simply aren't two more highly acclaimed strains, and while the third contributor is anyone's guess, it had to be something special to hold its own with those two powerhouses. This combination creates a dynamic genetic makeup that results in a strain full to the brim with cannabinoids and terpenes.
• The Flavour and Smell - Lemon Cherry Gelato may just be the tastiest Indica-dominant hybrid ever created, and her display cabinet is full of awards to back up such a claim. The sour lemon (from the high levels of limonene) is what first grabs you, but quickly gives way to a sweet cherry and earthy core. It truly does hit the balance of sweet, sour and earthy in equal measures, which so many other strains try for, but rarely achieve.
• The Effects - Those looking for a strain to help with motivation that then melds into relaxation and creativity should definitely give Lemon Cherry Gelato a try. The very slight Indica dominance (60% Indica/ 40% Sativa) helps round out the high from the potent THC levels (ranging from 20-29%) to keep you both chilled and alert.
