The seventh menu of 2022 will be our Lemon Macarons menu. Lemon Macarons = Lemonade x Animal Cookies IX. This will be an exciting menu as it’s our first Lemonade menu we’ve ever released. The Lemonade cut we work and breed with was gifted to us by Berner and it lives up to its name; it has a very strong sour citrus aroma and even better flavor. If we had any reason not to put this in our top 10, it’s that it has an extremely slow veg time. To improve upon that, we have bred it to Animal Cookies BX4 (IX) to help it grow faster.

The Chosen One
The Lemon Macarons male we selected had a much faster veg time than the original Lemonade mother plant, which is a goal of ours when working the Lemonade line. It has an intense lemon aroma with the stem rub or when you break off fan leaves and smell them. We allowed the male to get big, standing at roughly 8’ tall, to ensure a thorough greenhouse pollination.
Standout Strains
One cross that’s really getting people excited is the Lemonade BX = Lemonade x Lemon Macarons, which will provide an undeniably sour lip-smacking experience. It is the first Lemonade BX on the market. Since a nice lemon terpene profile will be passed on to all of its offspring, the Crippy, Crippy Kush, and Sugar Titz will also be must-have strains for the collector looking for something special. For us, we look for the most medicinal strains and phenos to keep and work with and this line provides relief with an enjoyable and different terpene profile than we’re used to, making it an obvious choice to not only breed into other lines, but work back into itself to improve upon a few variables we know can be changed and to further lock in that lemony goodness.
