Gelonade® Feminized Seeds – Sweet Seeds | Sativa Dominant & Citrus Terps

Gelonade® by Sweet Seeds is the Sativa-dominant hybrid you need if you are looking for a harvest that combines the refreshing zest of lemons with the creamy sweetness of the best Californian genetics. This strain stands out not only for its award-winning lineage but for offering an active and stimulating effect, ideal for those who want to enjoy cannabis without staying glued to the couch.

Is your garden missing a spark of energy and flavor?

Let's be honest: growing the same old earthy or skunky strains can get monotonous. You spend months caring for your plants, and if the result doesn't excite your palate or give you that mental spark you're looking for, it feels like a wasted opportunity. There is nothing worse than a harvest that looks good but lacks soul and character in the terpene profile.

Continuing with flat genetics is settling for mediocrity. You are missing out on the chance to experience the "entourage effect" that only a complex terpene profile can offer. Why settle for a bland smoke when you could be tasting a fruit cocktail that wakes up your neurons?

Gelonade® is the definitive solution to boring crops. By crossing the legendary Lemon Tree with the delicious Gelato, Sweet Seeds brings you a plant that explodes with citrus flavor and gas, offering a cerebral high that boosts your creativity and mood instantly.

Why add Gelonade® to your grow tent?

• Exotic Genetics: The fusion of Lemon Tree (zesty citrus) and Gelato (creamy dessert) creates a unique phenotype that is hard to find elsewhere.
• Sativa Power: Unlike heavy Indicas, this strain keeps you active, focused, and happy, making it perfect for social gatherings or artistic projects.
• Bag Appeal: The buds are dense, covered in trichomes, and often develop beautiful purple hues that contrast with the orange pistils.
• High Production: Despite its Sativa dominance, it behaves well indoors, offering generous yields of resinous flowers.

Stages and monitoring of Gelonade®

Quick overview: Photoperiod Feminized · Sweet Seeds · 9 weeks flowering approx. · Ideal for temperate climates and indoor setups.

Safe start: Germinate in a warm environment (22–25 °C). For a vigorous start with optimal aeration, we recommend using Premium Coco Substrate Pre-Fertilized Plagron, which facilitates rapid root expansion.

Directed growth: Maintain an 18/6 light cycle. This plant loves light and nutrients; a solid vegetative base like Green House Powder Feeding Bio Grow ensures strong stems to support the future buds.

Efficient flowering: Switch to 12/12. Stretch is manageable but present. Keep humidity around 40–50% to protect the dense colas from mold.

Irrigation and pH: Citrus strains can be sensitive to pH fluctuations. Use Top Lemon PH - Top Crop to naturally adjust acidity and boost the citric terpenes of the genetics.

Harvest and refinement: Harvest when trichomes are mostly milky for maximum cerebral effect. Dry slowly at 18–20 °C to preserve the volatile limonene.

Personal Experience of Pevgrow’s CEO (Alan)

I have to admit that I have a weakness for citrus strains, but Gelonade® plays in another league. What surprised me the most was not just the smell—which is like peeling a fresh lemon in the middle of a pine forest—but the clarity of the high. It's one of those herbs I choose when I have a free Saturday morning and want to do things, whether it's organizing the house or going for a hike.

In the grow room, she behaves like a queen. She stretches a bit when you flip the photoperiod, so don't be afraid to do some LST. The reward is buds that are not only sticky but have a bag appeal that impresses anyone. If you like Gelato but miss that electric spark of old-school Sativas, this cross is exactly what you need.
