The Cross
Three decisions went into this pairing.
First, stretch. Both parents are among the stretchiest plants in their respective lines, and rather than tame that the cross doubles down. The payoff is canopy coverage for anybody who knows how to manage vigor.
Second, resin structure. The Lemon Tree runs greasy, high in volatile oils but short on the trichome density the current market expects. The Platinum selection was chosen to fix exactly that.
Third, the sequence. Lemon Tree runs one way through its Sour Diesel heritage and PLCG runs another, and together they read in stages rather than all at once.
The Parents
Lemon Tree is Lemon Skunk crossed to Sour Diesel, selected by Matthew Rockwell in the Santa Cruz mountains. That region ran its own culture of selection for a generation before anybody was allowed to talk about it, and the plant moved inside that circle for years before the rest of the market heard the name. It took first prize for Best Hybrid at the 2014 Seattle Cannabis Cup and stacked further wins in San Francisco.
Platinum Lemon Cherry Gelato is Marcel’s phenotype selection, known as TheLeafDocta, out of Lemon Cherry Gelato, which is Gelato crossed to Super Lemon Haze.
Approximate composition: 37% Lemon Skunk, 25% Sour Diesel, 14% OG Kush, 13% Super Silver Haze, with traces of Granddaddy Purple, Durban Poison and Burmese.
What’s In The Pack
Six feminized photoperiod seeds. A full spectrum hunt rather than a narrow one, built for breeders chasing the point where Santa Cruz meets modern LA refinement.
In The Garden
62-75 days, phenotype dependent. Moderate difficulty, medium to high yield when trellised. Trellising is mandatory rather than advisable, because both parents run hard during transition. Plan the training before the stretch starts.
3 of 6 reached maturity. One is a late bloomer, one is of average density, the third is a beast.
So Far Looking beautiful in week 5. Some potassium deficiency a couple weeks back but may just be potassium and magnesium Hungary.. looking into it.
Week 5 in Flower.
Tall plant big fan leafs, smelimg like cream candy
Beautiful plant! No issues in veg or flower. Smells like diesel dipped cherries!!
Can’t wait til harvest..
Started in April, and growing outdoor in raised bed. Hasn’t flowered yet, but clones easily, and grows vigorously
100% germ early growth looks good, price great!
Remember when the description of this said 27-34thc ?
Just got my batch tested at between 20-23% I researched it up and it says low 20’s up to 26-27 definitely disappointed it smoke pretty good maybe 3.5-5 but I bought about 6 packs or so banking on the fact that they were gonna be 30% thc material definitely a little salty it’s not like it’s bad but didn’t meet up to what I thought it was according to what was advertised🥲
Haven’t grown yet
Never received that order
