Gelonade Feminized Seeds

Gelonade was initially bred by the Connected Cannabis Co, blending Lemon Tree with Gelato #41 (known as Bacio Gelato) to create a very special tasting strain. This hybrid is a unique mix of Sativa and Indica genetics, meaning it gives a well-balanced high. Its most loved features include a sharp citrus and sweet flavor profile, and an uplifting yet relaxing effect. Since its creation, Gelonade has picked up numerous awards, notably the High Times Best Sativa in 2018 and the Emerald Cannabis Cup in 2021. Its award-winning status and distinctive flavor make it a sought-after choice for both new and experienced growers.

Gelonade is a very easy-to-grow strain. It is suitable to grow in most climates but it will do particularly well in warmer, more sunny conditions. With a normal flowering time of around 8-10 weeks, it will grow to a medium height of about 150cm when it is fully grown. The overall shape and structure of Gelonade is more bushy than maybe you would expect from a Sativa-dominant hybrid, with dense foliage and thicker branches. You can expect an impressive yield from this strain, especially when grown under optimal conditions.

During the vegetative stage

In its early life at the start of the vegetative stage, Gelonade grows in a well-balanced way, with medium internodal spacing and without stretching too quickly. This is down to the mixed Indica/Sativa ratio. The sturdy structure and lush green foliage mean you may want to apply Low-Stress Training (LST), Tie and Bend, Screen of Green (Scrog), topping, or fimming to really maximize light coverage and growth. Nutrient-wise, focus on nitrogen-rich feeds at this stage, transitioning into the flowering stage, but avoid too much feed in the first few weeks to insure against nutrient burn.

During the flowering stage

During flowering, Gelonade quickly begins to pack on resinous bud sites on most of the upper branches. You may want to add additional support to the larger branches because the main cola will become quite weighed down. Preflowers appear around the transition to the flowering phase. The plant may require more phosphorus and potassium-rich nutrients at this stage. Pay close attention to the trichomes for harvest timing: milky white trichomes indicate peak THC levels. The strain emits a sweet, citrus aroma throughout flowering intensifying as it matures to harvest time.

Are Gelonade seeds indica or sativa?

Gelonade is a 70/30 Sativa/Indica hybrid, this shows true in the high and effects when smoked. The Indica side does exert an influence during its growth, giving a shorter flowering time than many Sativa-dominant strains. This Indica aspect also means the plants will stay slightly shorter and more bushy than its Sativa-dominant genetics may suggest.

Are Gelonade feminised seeds suitable for beginners?

Yes, Gelonade is a great choice for beginners. Its award-winning genetics make it a resilient plant, allowing for the kind of rookie mistakes that first-timers often make. The strain's simple growth requirements and semi-hardy nature make for a reasonably simple experience for first-time growers.

Smoking Gelonade is a delightful experience, marked by its smooth inhale and minimal throat hit. The strain stands out for its rich, gelato-like flavour profile, blending sweet citrus and creamy undertones, making each puff a flavourful hit.

What does Gelonade taste and smell like?

Gelonade offers a complex aroma and taste, characterized by a vibrant blend of sweet lemonade and creamy, dessert-like notes. This aromatic profile creates a refreshing and indulgent smoking experience, reminiscent of a citrus-infused gelato.

What are the terpenes in Gelonade?

The dominant terpenes in Gelonade include Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Myrcene. Limonene contributes to its citrusy, lemonade-like aroma, while Caryophyllene adds a hint of spice. Myrcene enhances the overall sweetness, completing its dessert-like bouquet. These terpenes combine to create its unique and enjoyable flavour profile.
