Lemon Cherry Pop

aka LCP


Lemon Cherry Pop is an indica-dominant hybrid from Cookies Seed Bank, created by crossing Gastro Pop #5 with Double Lemon Cherry. It shouldn't be confused with "Lemon Cherry Poppers" (a different, Gelato-descended cultivar) or "Cherry Poppers" (no "Lemon," bred from Lemon Kush and Cherry Zkittlez by Superdope HI TECH and Fear of Boof) — three similarly-named but genetically unrelated strains. Note also that some retailers tag this strain Sativa rather than Indica-dominant, though the underlying genetics description stays consistent across listings.

This strain leans heavily into its fruit-forward genetics, opening with a bright lemon-citrus burst that settles into deeper cherry and berry layers. There's a gassy backbone underneath, thanks to the Gastro Pop lineage, along with earthy and floral undertones that keep the profile from reading as one-dimensional. The sour edge on the exhale gives it a tart complexity that fans of citrus-heavy cultivars will appreciate.

Reviewers frequently describe the effects as starting with a euphoric, uplifted mental clarity that doesn't tip into feeling scattered or foggy, before easing into a calming body relaxation later in the session. That combination makes it a flexible pick — energizing enough to stay social or productive early on, with enough of a wind-down in the back half to make it work for evening use as the high settles in. The buds are typically dense and generously frosted with trichomes, giving them the kind of visual appeal that catches your eye before you even open the jar.

Lemon Cherry Pop is a moderate-difficulty strain that stays at a medium height indoors, making it a good fit for growers who don't have a ton of vertical space to spare. Outdoors, it can stretch considerably and thrives in warm, Mediterranean-style climates with temperatures around 68–80°F. The dense bud structure means you'll want to stake your branches during flowering and keep humidity around 40–50% to avoid mold building up on its resinous colas. This strain does best with some prior growing experience under your belt, and growers often report indoor yields of 350–500 g/m² with outdoor harvests reaching 400–1,000 g/plant when conditions stay dialed in. Expect flowering to wrap up in about 8–9 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvest falling in late September to early October.
