Lemonnade strain guide
Lemonnade, also listed as The Original Lemonnade, is a sativa-leaning hybrid of Lemon OG and Gorilla Haze. It's all about the lemon: a sharp, sour citrus smell with an earthy side. People mostly describe it as energetic, focused and a little giggly.
Where does Lemonnade come from?
The cross given by both sources we checked is Lemon OG and Gorilla Haze, though one genetics database marks the Gorilla Haze side as probable rather than confirmed.
Who bred it is less clear. One database lists it under Cookie Fam Genetics, and Lemonnade is also the name of a sativa-focused brand tied to Cookies. One strain database credits a different breeder, Growing Passion. So the breeder is not well documented.
The double-n spelling is deliberate and is how it's usually written, which helps tell it apart from the many other strains with lemonade in the name.
What does Lemonnade smell and taste like?
Lemonnade smells sharp and sour, like fresh lemon, with lime and an earthy undertone. The taste follows: lemon-forward and sweet on the inhale, with a light herbal finish. A few reviewers also mention apricot or apple peel.
We couldn't find published terpene results for Lemonnade the strain, so we can't say which terpenes lead. If your product lists them, the label is the best guide.
Lemonnade effects: what people report
People most often describe Lemonnade as energetic and focused, with a giggly, upbeat mood. It's widely seen as a daytime strain. Some reviewers say it creeps up, taking 10 to 15 minutes to peak.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth and dry eyes come up, and some people mention feeling paranoid or anxious at higher amounts.
How strong is Lemonnade?
Published figures for Lemonnade are thin. A seed listing puts it around 20% THC, and some reviewers report batches in the mid 20s, so a range of about 20% to 26% is a fair guess with very little CBD.
If you're new to it, start with a small amount and wait, especially since people say it builds slowly. The numbers on your label are the ones that count.
Buying Lemonnade in Canada
Because Lemonnade is also a brand name, a product called Lemonnade may not be this strain. Check the strain name and any lineage on the label, and don't mix it up with Pink Lemonade or other lemonade strains.
Look at the THC and CBD numbers and the packaging date. Fresher flower keeps more of that bright lemon smell.
Lemonnade vs Lemon OG
Lemon OG is one of Lemonnade's parents, and both lead with a sharp lemon smell. The difference is in the feel. Lemon OG has skunk and earthy OG underneath and is often described as relaxing, even sleepy as it goes on. Lemonnade, with Gorilla Haze on the other side, is usually described as energetic and focused. If you want lemon for the evening, try Lemon OG. For something brighter and more upbeat, try Lemonnade.
