THC: 22% | Type: Sativa-Dominant Hybrid (Greenhouse)

Effects: Uplifting, Focused, Euphoric, Energizing

Flavour Profile: Lemon Zest, Gelato Cream, Tropical Citrus, Herbal Spice

Gelonade is a 70% sativa / 30% indica hybrid bred from the citrus-charged Lemon Tree and the creamy, dessert-leaning Gelato #41. This greenhouse-grown cultivar is raised in a sun-fed, climate-controlled environment that fuses nature’s full-spectrum light with meticulous care—resulting in sticky, trichome-heavy buds that test at 22% THC with rich terpene expression and consistent smoking quality.

Visuals & Structure

This batch showcases chunky, resin-caked buds shaped like mini pinecones, with tight calyx formations that taper slightly at the tips. Each nug is a vibrant mix of lime and forest green, threaded with amber pistils and a shimmering dusting of frosty trichomes that sparkle like lemon sugar. Buds are slightly tacky to the touch and grind with a firm snap—ideal for both rolling and vaping.

Aroma

Crack open a jar and the nose is instantly hit with bold waves of lemon-lime zest—bright, sour-sweet, and effervescent. As the buds break down, sweeter layers of orange blossom and creamy vanilla rise up, followed by undertones of pine resin and a hint of crushed basil. It’s a terpene cocktail that screams citrus grove meets upscale dessert shop, with a clean, palate-tingling sharpness.

Mid-palate: Soft cream, gelato funk, and zesty citrus oil.
