Lemon Cherry Gelato became one of the most talked-about strains in the US, and Barney’s Farm’s feminized version arrives through a collaboration with the Backpack Boyz. It is the second release in that partnership, rated at around 33% THC.
Built on Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies genetics, with an undisclosed third element, this 60% Indica / 40% Sativa hybrid combines a sweet lemon-cherry flavor with a balanced, powerful high.
Indoors, plants reach 90–110 cm (35–43 in) and produce up to 600 g/m² (1.97 oz/ft²) in 60–65 days. Outdoors, they reach about 140 cm (55 in) and can yield up to 1,000 g/plant (35.3 oz/plant).
Lineage: Sunset Sherbet x Girl Scout Cookies
Sunset Sherbet brings fruity sweetness and creamy smoothness, while Girl Scout Cookies adds potency and density. Barney’s Farm credits a mysterious third element that rounds out the cross.
The buds are a kaleidoscope of purples, greens and deep oranges, all under a frosty trichome coat that gives them serious bag appeal.
Aroma, Flavor and Effect
The aroma is sweet and citrusy with fresh berry, like a fruit dessert sprinkled with lemon zest.
On the palate, lemon and cherry lead, balanced by a creamy, gelato-like sweetness and a gassy undertone.
The effect is balanced: an initial cerebral uplift with happiness and creativity, followed by physical relaxation. At around 33% THC, it is among the strongest in the catalog.
Growing Lemon Cherry Gelato Indoors and Outdoors
Indoors, Lemon Cherry Gelato reaches 90–110 cm (35–43 in) and thrives in controlled environments where temperature and humidity can be closely watched. It responds well to training such as topping, LST and SCROG. Flowering takes 60–65 days, with yields up to 600 g/m² (1.97 oz/ft²).
Outdoors, plants reach about 140 cm (55 in) and finish in the second to third week of October in the Northern Hemisphere, yielding up to 1,000 g/plant (35.3 oz/plant).
Its tough structure gives good yield potential, but it rewards meticulous care: steady feeding, clean airflow and humidity control in late bloom.
The colorful buds are part of the appeal, and cooler night temperatures in the last weeks of flowering can help bring out the purple and orange tones. Top early, open the center of the plant with LST, and remove weak lower growth before the flip so the plant can push energy into its top colas. A slow dry and cure preserves the bright lemon and cherry terpenes.
