The Backpack Boyz strain that went from a Gelato bagseed to the #1 strain in America.
Shop This StrainView Lab ResultsLemon Cherry Gelato — LCG to most people — is one of the most in-demand strains in the country. It's a member of the Gelato family, most often listed as Sunset Sherbet × Girl Scout Cookies, and it's known for a loud lemon-and-cherry nose that's hard to mistake for anything else.
The high is famously fun: giggly, talkative and euphoric up top, then settling into a relaxed, tingly body feel. That combination, plus the flavor, is why LCG became a reference strain for a whole generation of 'cherry' and 'gelato' crosses.
Talkative and euphoric at first, then a heavier body calm takes over. Best time: Late afternoon or evening — social hangouts or a relaxed night in.
Possible side effects reported by users: Anxiousness in some users, Dry mouth, Headache, Couch-lock at high doses. Effects vary by person and batch — start low and go slow.
Leafly traces LCG to around 2016, when Los Angeles brand Backpack Boyz — founded by former MMA fighter Juan Quesada — selected it from a Gelato #33 bagseed and built their brand around it. Its exact parentage is still debated: most sources list Sunset Sherbet × GSC, some add an unknown third parent, and Leafly has reported it may be a Runtz-type phenotype. It was named High Times' 2022 Strain of the Year, hit #1 in Leafly's U.S. popularity rankings in 2023, and spawned crosses like Lemon Cherry Sherb and Blue Cherry Gelato. In 2024 Backpack Boyz partnered with Barney's Farm to release it as seeds.
Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give each strain its smell and shape how it feels. These are the terpenes most often reported for Lemon Cherry Gelato; exact levels vary batch to batch, so check the COA for the jar you buy.
Tart lemon-lime citrus layered over sweet cherry and berry, with creamy, gassy and earthy-pine notes underneath. Some cuts lean lemon, others lean dark fruit and fuel.
Sour lemon up front, then sweet cherry and berry, finishing creamy with a little pine or gas.
Dense, dark-green buds with amber-orange pistils and milky trichomes, often flecked with purple.
Our strains are hemp-derived THCa flower. THCa is the raw, non-intoxicating form of THC found in the living plant; when it's heated (smoked or vaped), it converts into THC. Every batch is third-party lab tested for potency and Delta-9 THC compliance, and the full Certificate of Analysis is on our Lab Results page.
