Strawberry Lemonade strain guide
Strawberry Lemonade is a sativa-leaning hybrid from Barney's Farm that smells a lot like its name: tangy lemon with sweet strawberry. People mostly describe it as upbeat, giggly and energizing.
Where does Strawberry Lemonade come from?
Barney's Farm, the Amsterdam seed company, sells Strawberry Lemonade and says it bred it from a potent, sativa-leaning Strawberry plant and Lemon OG. Strain databases usually name that Strawberry parent as Strawberry Cough, though they hedge it as the likely or supposed cross.
It's sometimes listed as Mike's Strawberry Lemonade, and other producers have sold flower under the same name, so not every Strawberry Lemonade is necessarily the Barney's Farm plant.
What does Strawberry Lemonade smell and taste like?
Expect sweet citrus first: sharp lemon with ripe strawberry behind it, and sometimes a soft floral, rose-like note. Breaking the buds open can bring out an earthier berry side. The flavour is tangy and sweet, with lemon and berry on the inhale and a slightly spicy finish.
Published terpene results put myrcene on top, followed by caryophyllene and pinene. Myrcene adds an earthy, fruity base, caryophyllene a peppery edge and pinene a fresh lift.
Strawberry Lemonade effects: what people report
Reports lean energizing, giggly and uplifted, with a happy, alert start. Some people say it turns hazier after a while and settles into a warm, tingly body feel, and a few mention a sleepy comedown a few hours in.
These are experiences people report, not promises. How it feels depends on the product, how much you have and your own tolerance. Dry mouth is the most common complaint, and some people mention feeling anxious or getting a headache.
How strong is Strawberry Lemonade?
Listings usually put Strawberry Lemonade somewhere around 16% to 22% THC, and Barney's Farm says its lab tests come in above 20%. Some batches are reported higher. CBD is minimal.
If you're new to it, start small and wait before having more. The THC and CBD numbers on your package are what count, and our guide to reading cannabis labels walks through them.
Buying Strawberry Lemonade in Canada
Since more than one producer uses the name, check the label for the producer and any lineage they list. Two Strawberry Lemonade products can differ in smell and strength.
Look at the THC, CBD and packaging date too, since fresher flower keeps more of that bright lemon smell.
Strawberry Lemonade vs Strawberry Cough
Strawberry Cough is the parent usually named for Strawberry Lemonade, and both share that sweet strawberry smell. The difference is the lemon. Strawberry Lemonade adds sharp citrus from its Lemon OG side, while Strawberry Cough is more purely berry, with a sweeter, softer smell. Both get described as upbeat and energizing. If you want strawberry with a tangy citrus kick, start with Strawberry Lemonade. If you want the berry on its own, Strawberry Cough is the classic.
