Ala Mode
Also known as: Ala Mode OG, Ala Mode Kush
What is the Ala Mode strain?
Ala Mode is a hybrid cannabis strain with up to 24.0% THC, known for its relaxed effects and berry and creamy flavor profile.
Ala Mode is a hybrid cannabis strain developed by Exotic Genetix that has gained popularity for its unique flavor profile and balanced effects. The strain was created by crossing Gelato 41 with Sherbet, resulting in a genetic lineage that combines some of the most sought-after dessert strains in modern cannabis breeding. First introduced around 2018, Ala Mode quickly gained attention in the cannabis community for its distinctive appearance and complex terpene profile that lives up to its dessert-inspired name.
The strain typically produces dense, frosty buds with a striking appearance featuring deep purple hues mixed with vibrant orange pistils and a thick coating of trichomes. The nugs are often golf ball-sized with a tight, compact structure characteristic of its Gelato lineage. The coloration can vary depending on growing conditions, with cooler temperatures often enhancing the purple pigmentation. The strain's name references the dessert term "à la mode" (meaning served with ice cream), which accurately describes its sweet, creamy aroma profile.
Ala Mode is known for its relatively balanced hybrid effects that begin with cerebral stimulation before transitioning to full-body relaxation. The strain has become popular among both recreational and medical users seeking a versatile experience that can be enjoyed throughout the day. While not as widely available as some mainstream strains, Ala Mode has developed a dedicated following in legal markets and among home growers who appreciate its unique characteristics and reliable performance.
