The Cross
Most breeding pairs one plant’s strength against another’s weakness. Cherry Limeade does not. Both parents were already finished work when they went into this, and the job was to smash them together and sort through the result.
The Parents
Trop Cherry #8 is Relentless Genetics‘ selection out of Tropicana Cookies crossed to a Cherry Cookies F3 male. Tropicana Cookies is Girl Scout Cookies crossed to Tangie, out of Harry Palms at Oni Seed Co. Cherry Cookies F3 is Girl Scout Cookies crossed to Fire OG, and Relentless took that line through three filial generations before he would use it as a stud, which is not how most people in this market work. He built his reputation in the forums on exactly that: culling without sentiment, working from the Colorado mountains, and stabilizing traits everybody else said could not be stabilized out of that background.
Platinum Lemon Cherry Gelato is Marcel’s cut, known as TheLeafDocta, out of Michigan. Sunset Sherbet crossed to GSC, then crossed to Super Lemon Haze. The Cookies base carries the weight, the Super Lemon Haze carries the vigor and the stretch.
What’s In The Pack
Six feminized photoperiod seeds. The families feeding this run OG Kush and Fire OG for the backbone, Cookies and Sunset Sherbet appearing on both sides, Super Lemon Haze for the stretch, Tangie for the citrus esters that give it the name, and Durban Poison through GSC. The hunt runs between two poles: short dark structurally bulletproof plants from the Trop Cherry side, and tall stretchy ones from the PLCG side.
In The Garden
56-63 days, optimal window day 63 to 70. Moderate difficulty, medium to high yield. PLCG leaning phenos stretch hard and need support planned before you need it. Calcium and magnesium hungry, like most of the Cookies family.

Delicious cherry and gas! Flowered for 70 days. Medium high yield. Dense and frosty buds that have a strong cherry candy smell.
Strong big snowball size nugs
Fast finisher outside in upstate NY. Good yielding. Dank, fermented fruit funk smell and taste. Hard to describe and unique. Pretty easy, straight forward grow. Lots of purple. Great bag appeal. Would run this one again.
Beautiful Flower. Great Candy, Sweet, Diesel Aroma, Week 6 of Flower. Purple Pistils forming as well.. Beautiful!
6 weeks into veg and she’s looking amazing
This strain also is finishing much sooner than anticipated. Absolutely soaked in resin and beautiful looking not getting many colors but it may in the last week or two. Stacks beautiful so it should give a nice yield for a medium sized plant. Very hearty plant that resists pests better than most of the garden. Loud candy and gas turps with touches of tropical flavors. Definitely a keeper
Plant looks great
