Cherry Limeade
Cherry Limeade
Also known as: Cherry Lime
Overview
Cherry Limeade is an evenly balanced hybrid strain (50% indica/50% sativa) created by renowned Mendocino breeder Mean Gene through his collaboration with Aficionado Seeds. The strain is a cross between Cherry Pie and Black Lime Reserve, two powerhouse strains that contribute to its exceptional potency and distinctive flavor profile. This award-winning cultivar gained significant recognition when it won the 2015 Emerald Cup and also competed in the 2014 L.A. Cannabis Cup, establishing itself as a premier cannabis variety from Northern California's Emerald Triangle region.
The strain exhibits dense, oversized minty green nugs with rich gold undertones and matching golden trichomes covering numerous orange hairs. Cherry Limeade is known for its remarkable 'projection terping' - an aroma so powerful it seems to radiate beyond the plant itself. The complex interplay between lime's immediate intensity and cherry's sustained duration creates a unique sensory experience. With its high THC content averaging 25-26% and minimal CBD presence, Cherry Limeade represents a THC-dominant variety designed for experienced cannabis users seeking potent psychoactive effects combined with exceptional flavor.
