Platinum Lemon Cherry Gelato: Vibrant and Unique

Platinum Lemon Cherry Gelato is an absolutely beautiful plant. Dark green leaves and buds grow upwards with white, almost blue looking hairs sprouting from the top.

The buds are leafy and give off a potent aroma when broken apart. This 50/50 hybrid’s journey to prominence culminated in its remarkable achievement of securing 2nd Place in the Medical Category at the High Times Medical Cup in Michigan in 2021. PLCG’s offspring have won awards at both the High Times Cannabis Cup as well as the Emerald Cup.
