Lemon Cherry Gelato from Clade9 is a citrus-sweet hybrid known for a balanced, relaxed-to-mood-boosting effect with a pronounced berry-lemon aroma. The strain is typically described as indica-dominant hybrid, often around 60% indica/40% sativa, and marketed with high visual appeal and strong terpene flavor notes. Clade9’s version emphasizes a candy-like aroma with hints of lemon, berries, and a slight lime character, paired with a vibrant aroma profile that many users find inviting.
Product and lineage
Clade9 often markets Lemon Cherry Gelato under their Candy Family label, highlighting a craft lineage that blends Sunset Sherbet and Girl Scout Cookies with other select genetics. This background contributes to its dense, resin-coated buds and a candy-like flavor impression.
The brand sometimes lists total THC in the mid- to high-teens, with some product pages indicating higher potency under certain lots or limited seasonal releases. Users frequently note a potent, long-lasting buzz in line with strong hybrid offerings.
Flavor and aromatic notes
Expect a complex nose blending lemon citrus, sweet berry/candy sweetness, and a touch of herbal or spicy undertones from terpenes like caryophyllene and limonene. The flavor often mirrors the aroma, translating into lemony, berry-forward vapor or smoke with a lingering candy sweetness.
Visual presentation tends to feature dense, colorful buds with purple hues and frost, common in sunset sherbet–type lines, which aligns with Clade9’s branding for this strain.
Effects and use
Users report a relaxing body high with mood elevation and a euphoriant cerebral component, suitable for evening use, social relaxation, or stress relief. Some sources note potential for daytime uplift in lighter doses, but the common consensus leans toward a calming, sleep-supportive profile at typical consumer doses.
Medical users often cite relief from anxiety, mild pain, and stress, consistent with many dessert-front hybrids that blend indica and sativa effects for balanced relief.
Availability and notes
Clade9 Lemon Cherry Gelato appears across several NJ-based retailers and delivery platforms, reflecting regional distribution and seasonal product drops. Consumers should verify current availability, exact cannabinoid profiles, and test results for a given batch, as these can vary by harvest and lot.
As with any high-THC hybrid, beginners should approach with caution, start low, and increase slowly to gauge tolerance and effects.
