Elote
Also known as: Street Corn
Elote Strain Overview
Elote, also known as 'Street Corn', is an evenly balanced hybrid strain developed by Light Seeker Seeds through crossing Franco's Lemon Cheese with a carefully selected male of Kosher Kush x MAC Stomper. Named after the popular Mexican street food, this strain lives up to its name with a unique flavor profile that brings new meaning to 'taste sensation'. The strain represents a sophisticated three-way cross that combines the creamy lemon characteristics of Franco's Lemon Cheese - itself a fusion of Exodus Cheese and Super Lemon Haze - with the sturdy structure and lime aromas of the Kosher Kush x MAC Stomper male. This particular male was selected for its extreme lime smells, easy-to-train structure, and tight internodal spacing.
Elote produces fluffy, grape-shaped buds with minty green coloration accented by bright purple undertones. The nugs feature thick, furry red-orange hairs and are covered in chunky, purple-tinted white crystal trichomes. The strain is known for its bright and energizing effects that begin quickly, rushing into the mind with a jolt of heady energy that activates the brain and melts away negative moods. As the mental euphoria builds, users report feeling more confident and outgoing, making it ideal for social situations. A light sense of physical calm anchors the experience, providing relaxation without heavy sedation. The strain's balanced 50% indica/50% sativa genetics make it perfect for times when users need energy but still want to maintain a sense of chill relaxation.

Elote Strain Growing Information
Elote is described as fairly easy to grow and yields well, making it suitable for intermediate growers. The strain has a flowering time of approximately 77 days (11 weeks), though some phenotypes may finish in 9-10 weeks while others can extend to 11-12 weeks. It can be cultivated indoors, outdoors, and in greenhouse environments. The strain produces a strong funk of cheese and lime for both nose and palate.
