Gelonade
Gelonade
Also known as: Gelonade OG
Overview
Gelonade is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain created through crossing Lemon Tree and Gelato #41. Developed by Connected Cannabis Co. in collaboration with Tastebudz Seeds, this strain was engineered to become what would later be a Cannabis Cup champion. It took home 1st place for Best Sativa Flower at the renowned Cannabis Cup, solidifying its position among top-tier strains. The strain features dense, compact buds that are vibrant in color, ranging from shades of green to purple, with bright orange pistils scattered throughout and a frosty coating of trichomes. These precise breeding techniques merged legendary genetics from Chemdawg, Durban Poison, and Girl Scout Cookies into one powerhouse cultivar, creating a strain that embodies both the citrusy energy of sativas and the relaxed euphoria of indicas. Gelonade has earned a prominent place in the cannabis landscape, not only for its appealing aromatic profile but also for its energizing effects and significant THC level.

Growing Information
Gelonade adapts well to both indoor and outdoor cultivation. Indoors, it is recommended to apply techniques such as apical pruning and LST to control its height. Outdoors, it prefers warm and sunny climates. The plant responds well to organic fertilizers and can reach yields of up to 600g per m² under optimal conditions. Gelonade typically flowers within 8-10 weeks under optimal conditions, with some growers reporting completion in as little as 8-9 weeks. Indoor yields typically reach around 14 to 16 ounces per square meter, while outdoor growers may harvest up to 18 ounces or even more per plant, depending on environmental factors. The strain thrives within a range of moderate, coastal climates, growing best in regions where warm summers transition smoothly into moderately cool autumns. The perfect temperature range for cultivating Gelonade is in the vicinity of 70–85°F (21–29°C). Although Gelonade's impressive genetics might suggest a finicky plant, this strain actually rewards growers with surprisingly forgiving cultivation requirements that make it accessible for intermediate cultivators.
