Characteristics
This is one of the more beautiful strains to grow, and will leave you marveling at the buds anytime you lay eyes on them. Lemon Cherry Gelato buds grow dense and medium-sized, with pointed tips and minimal leaf matter. LCG strain buds are typically dark purple with reddish undertones, that can appear to be more of a lavender color due to a heavy coating of resinous trichomes!
Lemon Cherry Gelato weed strain delivers a flavor that's exactly as its name implies—tart lemons combined with rich cherries and berries. Its aroma mirrors this profile with a tangy citrus note, complemented by fresh berries and raspberries, and finished with a subtle hint of earthy pine.

Origin & Use

Origin of Lemon Cherry Gelato Strain
There are some questions as to the origins of the Lemon Cherry Gelato strain, also known as "LCG". Some say it comes from a seed found in a bag of Gelato, while others believe it could be a Runtz cross or a Gelato back cross. There are also theories suggesting it might be a cross with Lemon Haze.
Most info though, points to the BackPack Boys and 5Points LA collaborative efforts, both known for their high class cultivation practices and high-THC Cherry strains. Notably, one variant of LCG was worthy of an award, receiving 2021 2nd Place in the Medical Flower category at High Times Medical Cup Michigan.
