Pink Lemonade
Pink Lemonade
Also known as: Pink Lemon, Pink LemonAid
Overview
Pink Lemonade is an indica-dominant hybrid strain (typically 80% indica/20% sativa) created through crossing Purple Kush, Lemon Skunk, and possibly a third unknown strain. While its exact genetic lineage remains somewhat disputed within cannabis circles, multiple breeding lines exist under the same name that share common characteristics. The strain is known for its striking visual appeal, featuring dense moss-green buds with pink and purple undertones, light orange hairs, and a thick blanket of frosty golden trichomes that create an almost crystalline appearance. Pink Lemonade offers a distinctive flavor profile that lives up to its name, combining sweet sugary fruits with bright lemon candy notes and touches of berry undertones, creating a taste reminiscent of fresh lemonade with earthy undertones. The strain delivers surprisingly cerebral effects despite its indica dominance, starting with an energetic boost that leaves users feeling euphoric and focused, gradually transitioning into a lazy introspective state filled with creativity. Commercial cultivation has been limited, as no major breeders have claimed responsibility for its creation or grown it on a commercial scale for seed production, making clones the preferred method for cultivation.

Growing Information
Pink Lemonade is considered moderately easy to cultivate but has a higher difficulty level due to specific environmental needs. The strain prefers warmer climates and cold nights should be avoided, with harvest recommended before fall frost in North America. Flowering time is approximately 8-8.5 weeks (57 days) when grown indoors or outdoors. Growing from clones is strongly recommended over seeds as the strain hasn't been cultivated on a large seed-producing scale. The bushy shape produces plenty of colas leading to high yields when plants receive adequate light. Expected yield is high with THC levels ranging from 18-27% and terpene content of 1-3%+. Plants can be grown both indoors and outdoors, typically producing dense buds that are vibrant green with pinkish hues and covered in a generous layer of trichomes when cultivated properly.
